For this year's spring trend it is the colour yellow! No before you all say you don't suit it here is a quick guide to wearing the proper shade! Olive toned skin Use a rich, sunny yellow, which will lift your complexion. Team it with orange and terracotta and you will be quite the stunner but if you don't want to be so adventurous then team it with khaki and caramel. Fair skin If you have fair skin then you are best to stick to powder yellow, teaming it up with cream or pastel shades. Vibrant, lemon yellow will only bring out sallow undertones, while golden skin and hair will glow when set against more muted tones. Darker skin Ladies with darker skin should go for a rich canary yellow that will contrast their skin perfectly. Try mixing vibrant yellow with bold blue or another strong primary colour shade for added impact. Red heads and pale skin For the redheads and those with pale complexions should try mustard teamed with jewel colours to make a statement. Shades of primrose and daffodil will also work well for a more subtle look. Asian skin tones Vanilla or golden hues, which won’t overpower or wash out skin like stronger yellows will work well against dark hair. A block colour dress could look too severe, so try a jacquard print like this with contrasting edging. A pop of intense lemon accessories is all the boldness you need. So what do you ladies think of this guide? Does it encourage you to think about giving yellow a go or are you still dead set against it?
