Ive seen that lots of models lately on the cat walks are sporting very pale skin- is this the new look?

I think tans have always been a summer thing…its not really a ‘trend’ but paleness is in too.

Plus tanning is sometimes too much work especially if something goes wrong while fake tanning…it just gets annoying.

Tans Are Always In

Tans Are Always In

I so agree !!!

On the catwalk a lot of the models are pale at the moment because in europe it’s winter atm.  Winter colours look better on pale skin, which most people have in winter.

Interesting how tans became in- having a tan used to mean that you were a lower class person- someone who had to work in the sun for a living. Pale people were rich and didn’t have to labor under the sun!

Very interesting

Tans are a very summer thing and the catwalk clothes right now are beginning to fall into the Winter season category. Winter clothes are most in winter colours that suit pale skin. Anyway, it depends on what sort of tan you are talking about - a natural looking golden glow, or a fake looking orange tan that makes you look like an Oompa Loompa. You decide x

I love being tan but i don’t think tanned skin suits all people so it depends on your personal preferenses.

lol my sister tried to give me a fake tan… i stayed white. who cares what the fashion is , just be natural, be yourself

Couldn’t agree more xx

I think that it doesnt matter, tans look good on certain skin types, but if you have pale skin and you use fake tan..
You look orange, and it is definintly not fashionable

I think it depends on the person - some people suit paler skin while others suit a deep golden tan. With ginger/red hair - really pale skin looks great, dark hair suits both I think and blondes always look good with at least a little tan but more is better!

Neither is in or out of fashion, it depends on the person and their natural colouring. Pale skin is coming in more though because people are beginning to realise how dangerous it can be to tan yourself too much.

um probally cause it winter youll see more tanned people i summer
