Pale and interesting?

Here's Lindsay Lohan looking rather paler that usual. In flinging away the fake tan she joins the famously alabaster likes of Nicole Kidman, Kelly Osbourne and Nicola from Girls Aloud, who recently renounced orange for white.

It's a trend - and a very sensible one at that - but it does pose a problem: what on earth do you wear on the beach to flatter pasty skin? Below, a few suggestions - UK first:

Chocolate and navy are a more gentle alternative to black; red is surprisingly flattering choice. Left to right: Vitamin A, Anita, Speedo, Ballet.

And from our US site:

Do you plan to tan this summer? Let us know.

No way! I don't want to look like a streaky, orange WAG! So I'll be puting on my suncream and loving the way I look - naturally.

the only thing better than a real "healthy" tan is your true skin colore!! but dont snob the sun..nothing can grow without it and carrefull if it's too much you will burn!!
