I want an idiom which means something suits someone

I want an idiom which means something suits someone.

What idiom can I use instead of the underlined part?

Having a tan really suits her skin. She looks great.

 

[Tdol]

She takes to a tan.

 

[5jj]

She takes to a tan.

That one really doesn't work for me.

 

[alpacinou]

That one really doesn't work for me.

Can you think of an idiom that would fit there?

 

[emsr2d2]

I can't think of anything more original than "She looks great with a tan". If I wanted to sound really over the top, I suppose I could say "She's really rocking the sun-kissed look!"

How about "Her tan complements her looks perfectly?".

 

[emsr2d2]

How about "Her tan complements her looks perfectly"? The question mark should be outside the quotation marks. It's not part of the quote.

That doesn't work for me.

 

[tedmc]

That doesn't work for me.

Why not? What's wrong with saying something complements another?

Why not? What's wrong with saying something complements something else?

Nothing, but a tan is part of her look, so it doesn't complement anything. You could say:

That tan suits you.

Or:

You look good like that.

 

[tedmc]

Nothing, but a tan is part of her look, so it doesn't complement anything. You could say:

That tan suits you.

Or:

You look good like that.

Well, whether the tan is part of her look or not is a matter of perception, isn't it?

 

[Tarheel]

I guess. But it's part of you. It's with you all the time. (Until it fades, like memory.)
