There seems to be lots of opinions about what looks good on a girl and what doesn't, but it's interesting to hear what people say, anyhow.

So, what clothing colors do you think would look best on a brown-eyed, dark brown-haired girl with sort of a peaches-and-cream skin tone?
I know the real answer is to wear the colors that you like and make YOU feel good, but I'm interested about people's thoughts on this sort of thing, anyways.

While we're at it, what colors do you think look good on other hair-colors, eye-colors, and skin tones?
I've always thought those blue-eyed, dark-haired women looked great in jewel colors (blue, teal, pink, etc.).

What d'ya think?

I like bright, bold things like red and dark-blue on dark-haired, brown-eyed people.
As for other people, I think blondes look better in pastels to midtones, so it doesn't overpower the pale hair. Redheads are difficult, since they have to be careful with any red-based shades, but I like them a lot in greens and browns. I have dark hair, pale skin, and light eyes, and I've been told I look really good in pink, purple, and yellow, but I don't really wear any of those much. *sweatdrops* I wear a lot of blue, white, and black instead.

On brown hair/brown eyes with fair skin, I love all blues (my favorite), pinks, reds, browns, and of course, whatever makes you feel gorgeous!

I'm blue/green eyed, with dark hair and I wear tons of blues and greens, greys and blacks. Those work best with my eyes. I also love pink, just because it's so feminine. I still love black, particularly in pants, but I'm trying to wear less black since I lost the weight.

I love all colors for clothing on others, except orange, fuscia and neon green. Not crazy about that taupe-y color either.

Cranberry you should consider having your colours done. YOu can wear any colour as long it is your type of colour depending on which season you are. For what you have already describe it sounds like you are a winter.
I'm a winter. I can easily wear black, white, blood red, dark blue, certain pinks, skin tone colours. Summer would wear all the lighter colours of the winter.

An autumn would wear golds, oranges etc.
