Is having a tan preppy? Does it depend on location, season, overall hue?
Being a bronze-goddess was not always in fashion. Ladies would shield themselves from sunlight with hats and parasols until Coco Chanel, made it de rigueur to have a healthy glow. But now, there are so many warnings against tanning beds and sunlight that you have to bathe yourself is SPF 30 before walking out the door.

So...if you live in New England and it is the middle of winter would a tan give you away as a fake baker, or would it suggest a lil' jaunt to Palm Beach? Would it matter? After all, pink & green looks so much better with a tan, no matter what zip code you're in!
And while having an orange hue is a common Jersey occurrence, a just-back-from-the-beach-glow is a much better look. No one wants to look like an Oompa-Loompa!
I love a tan that looks fresh from being outdoors, but not too harsh. But I'm pretty pale.
