Happy Monday, Everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Many Chinese readers tell me they are afraid to wear yellow because they feel it clashes with the Asian skin tone.  First, I seriously don’t think our Asian skin tone is “yellow.”  Most of my Asian friends have very pure and good skin tones, so that I think they can pull off every color.  To my eyes, they look really nice and healthy when wearing yellow.

However, in my hometown in Southern China, people mostly have tanner/darker skin tones than in the North.  Wearing yellow could make you look more tan, but I personally don’t mind to look tan or tanner — but maybe that is because I now live in Southern California, where everyone has a sun-tan, or wants one!  In the Chinese culture, they still mostly enjoy pure and white skin, actually, the whiter the better. (Yes, don’t ever think to open a tanning spa in China!)  🙂
My advice: if you are not comfortable wearing yellow, then don’t!  But I like it, especially in the Spring.

For my Chinese followers, here is one good question, though: in Chinese history, the ancient founder of Chinese civilization, Huangdi, was called the “Yellow Emperor.”   Why would the  Yellow Emperor choose yellow for his uniform, unless it made him look very good?
