According to Seventeen Magazine, spring is a season to play with colors and mix and layer different patterns and shades. You can pretty much wear any color during the spring. It’s better to stay away from blacks and use more colors that bring out your skin tone. If you have a darker complexion, colors like yellows, corals, and light blues look really good against your skin. If you have a lighter complexion, colors like peach, light blues and reds or pinks that way your color doesn’t get drowned out by those bright colors. For thinner figures its good to wear clothing with more ruffles to make you look fuller. For full-figured figures stripes make you look a lot thinner and black slims you down as well, but make sure to mix blacks with brighter colors to keep it fresh and springy.
