farmer's tan

Sleeve-line skin contrast

A farmer's tan is the uneven skin coloring that results from working outdoors in short sleeves—tanned forearms and neck, pale upper arms and torso.

The pattern follows typical work clothing: He took off his shirt at the beach and revealed a serious farmer's tan.

The term applies regardless of occupation.
