Colours that used to suit you don't any longer?

[Pheasantlysurprised]

I don't know if it is about age, I cant see many signs of it yet, no obvious face or hair changes that would explain it, but either I have changed my tastes dramatically, or I never suited the other colours anyway! Im more adventurous and confident now, so there's a chance I never looked good in the old colours...

I think I am what they call a cool summer, blonde hair blue eyes, etc. Always suited pastel tones but didnt like them so went minimal with navy, white, grey.
But in the past few years navy really washes me out, as does most grey.
I had never noticed how much. I have, without really thinking, swapped most of my navy for dark green or black, and do look much better in them.

Bought a navy raincoat this week and thought 'ooooh', it doesn't suit me, so I compared it with my old olive green Barbour one and look so much better in that!

Anyone else suit different colours to what they used to for no discernible reason?

It’s worth paying for as it’s saved me a fortune.

Strange really, I find that when I’m wearing what they call my 100% colours I get more compliments. People started commenting on my eyes, my earrings, my hair etc.

I’m primarily high contrast (pale skin: dark hair and eyes) so suit combinations like black/white, French navy/ivory, coffee/cream beat. I am also warm toned so have suited things likes yellow, emerald green, blood orange, tan, dusky pink, aubergine, gold etc.

As I get older and have some streaks of white/silver through my hair I notice that my skin tone is cooling a little too. So the high contrast still works really well but the colours wash me out a little if they are too strong. But I am starting to suit silver and pale/silver grey in a way that never happened before.

Black , look like death warmed up rather than the chic Parisian I think I should look like !
