Who looks best in Spring?

How to know if you're a Spring

The fastest test: hold a clear gold and a clear silver next to your face in natural light. Springs look richer next to gold-tone metals. If silver feels brighter and gold makes you look tired, you're probably a Summer or Winter, not a Spring.
