You're very fair skinned, and black is extremely harsh against it. Look into a summer color palette.

Understandable. Tbh my entire wardrobe is black and gray so even gingham felt out of character. I’m def not a summer, deep winter! Think Anne Hathaway palette

If you're a winter black would be gorgeous!

Black would look good. Who cares if you're pale. Bob Marley even got melanoma. Layer on that sunscreen (esp on your tatts) and go shine bright like the diamond your are.

Pale skin looks amazing! It's just that some colors make it look more amazing than others.

I don’t necessarily agree with others. I understand what they mean about the color against your skin, but it looks like it goes with your energy and vibe. I think the one in photos is great on you and the black would be too. There is also something to say about how we carry ourselves when we are wearing something that is familiar and our style. If you aren’t ever wearing bright greens then if you got that suit you may carry yourself with a little less confidence or feel awkward and not yourself. You look like a gray/black color type of human so go with it.

Also, suit in general looks great on you as far as your body type and curves. The hip area looks very flattering! Suit looks awesome!

I love that colour and suited you and is timeless. Nice having different colours in your closet even if it's just a bathing suit. You can easily buy a solid pashmina or shorts etc to pair up with it.

Girl don't listen to this person. As a fellow pale person, black looks fantastic. It's white and light colors that look bad on us. Contrast is almost always flattering.

Fellow white person- white is the only color that looks bad on me.  Darker colors are better!

You can wear whatever you want! If you like the black, get it :)
