ELI5:Why did pale skin go out of fashion to be replaced with the desire for tanned skin?

For many years, pale skin was associated with wealth and beauty (in European cultures, not sure about others) and women in particular went to extreme lengths to make themselves look pale like using white lead-containing makeup. At what point and why was this fashion which lasted centuries changed so we now desire tanned skin?

Pale skin was desired because it meant you could afford to stay inside and not work in the fields. Tan skin became desired because it meant you could lounge on the beach instead of staying inside working in an office or factory.

Wealth has always been in style, but how that is displayed and recognizes changes over time.
