Wear what you want, love.

I don't think yellow is a good look if you are older than four.

Yes I think so.
Yellow is such an uplifting colour.
You could try a yellow top or cardigan first. Or a dress with a different colour cardigan/jacket.

If you find the right shade, then yes. Yellow has a huge range from mustard to pale pastel.

With your colouring I would go for a rich yellow shade, like an egg yolk kind of shade.

Have you "done" your colours? I'm hopeless at choosing clothes so did this:

anuschkarees.com/blog/2013/09/24/colour-analysis-part-i-finding-your-type

And it suggested a colour range that would suit me. FWIW I'm pale (but warm undertones) and mid-brown (greying) hair and actually really suit some yellows.

I love yellow, just be aware of which shade will suit you best.
I think yellow looks good with denim.

In my experience yellow seems to really attract those tiny flying insects

Try on different shades of yellow. One will suit you.

I have mid brown hair, blue eyes and pale skin ( but on the pinky side) and look terrible in all shades of yellow.
I have 2 friends who also have lightish brown hair, blue eyes ( but tending towards green) and pale skin ( no pink tones at all)and they both look nice in lemon yellow, mustard, and orange.
You can only tell by trying it out.

I have similar colouring and wear sulphur and mustard yellows but not pale yellows like lemon.

DramaAlpaca · 20/04/2020 19:02

I think with your pale skin a pale yellow might suit you best. I'm also very pale with cool undertones and it's the only shade that works on me.

So many different opinions! You'll need to try a few shades and see what works for you. It's a difficult colour but one shade will suit you.
