The phone went green green, then I picked up the call and said, "Yellow, Nicky here. Why you purplely call and disturb?" Ok, that's me trying too hard to crack a Singaporean joke. But seriously, what's with Spring and green?

People of all skin tones walk the streets in practically every shade of green, and the ever popular green would be lime green. Ralph Lauren makes them, Giordano makes them, I even saw it on British India's polo tee.

Guys, and gals, listen to moi just this once (well, not literally!) Not all skin tones pair well with green. If you aren't blessed with the perfect golden tan, or you look like the chicken hanging at the Hainanese Chicken Rice stall, please do not attempt putting on green. Browsing magazines like Vogue or l'Officiel, you will see the Spring runway photos where models are strutting in loud primary colours, but that doesn't mean you can carry off the look. Poor boy, you're so flopped.
