Have name changed for this one....I desperately need help please. As my name suggests I have ginger hair (straight, shoulder length) and I always find myself wearing brown, black, beige all the time. I would love some advice on what other colours would suit me (I have a fair complexion too). I really can't wear such dull colours all spring and summer again......
Please help me!

I am what I call a 'proper' redhead (pics on my profile). I wear any and all strong colours, except blue, cannot wear pastels at all as I fade away. What suits me best are black, green, red, purple, brown, turquoise, orange, pink (strong, not sugary).

People might say that redheads shouldn't wear orange or pink, I say BOLLOCKS to that and usually wear strong colours. There is loads of choice for us, be bold! [justice for gingers emoticon]

My DD has golden coppery hair, blue eyes and peaches and cream type complexion. She looks fabulous in bold colours like teal, turquoise, plum, lime, in fact most greens, tangerine (yes, really!) and hot pink.

Nothing pastely or 'baby'. Yellow not great on her either, tends to make her look a little jaundiced.

DH's 20 something niece has the same coloured hair as DD and spends her life in black and white whichare too harsh on her. I always want to shout at her to get a bit of colour in her life !

DD looks much better in navy than black, it's not as draining on her skintone.
