i don't mind rusty colours but prefer deeper mulberry which is also everywhere, much more flattering

Does mustard suit anyone who doesnt have luscious chocolate brown skin (not me)?

It is all very Angela Rippon.

I suit bright reds, greens and blues. How am I going to make my wardrobe look remotely fashionable?

I love rust and deep ruby reds, so I'm loving the autumn colours. Not so keen on mustard though.

I've been away a few weeks and not near any shops. having just been into town all I could see was a sea of rust and mustard.

I can do ruby red, but not mulberry as it doesnt suit me.

Having had my colours done in the past, it is a CURSE, I tell you....No more can I wear something ghastly in blissful ignorance. It has made me halve me annual shopping budget Hmm

I can do brown and teal. That will have to be my limit though.

Awful colours for me, I agree with eustacia!

I love mustard (ochre?!), rust and orange so am really pleased at all the choice in the shops (although I'm on a spending diet right now so need to window shop only for a bit!)

what about deep peaches and corals? I got a dark coral jacket which I think suits me.

This was exactly the reaction I had; it's not a nice orangey rust either, it's sludgy & on peg-leg chinos. Not wild on the crepe soles either.

Lots of 'American Tan' stuff too, if you want to dress up as a big, sloppy shit.

I love the orange and pink they have together in H&M. Seriously, it looks excellent the way they've put it together.

Hate them both but they look great on me. Hmm

If I wear orange I look like the forgotten Xmas satsuma. You know, the one you find about May......

I'd never normally touch mustard in a million years, but this picture from the jigsaw site (second image in) convinced me to try it. I bagged a cheap long sleeve top from new look which seems to work under more sane colours.

Still avoiding rust though...

I can do rust, but mustard+oliveskin=worried mother!

"Are you alright? You look dreadful!"

but if the 'in' colours don't suit you, aren't you just supposed to do touches/accessories?

summer colours aren't good on me, so I get a bright (idh) summery bag & nail varnish, maybe a bit of cheap jewellery, then use more neutral colors with it. also much cheaper

I love mustard and I am fair with brown hair. I'm wearing a mustard top today, even though it's not really in here yet.
