Ever thought about which colors suit you best? In our color series, we explore the perfect colors for your unique features. Today, let’s dive into the summer color palette.
Spring is synonymous with nature’s revival after winter, and the spring color palette echoes this with lively and cheerful hues. Imagine bright reds, cobalt blues, lime greens, and shocking pinks—colors that make you stand out positively. You might also want some warm, chic neutrals for balance, so not every outfit needs to scream primary colors.
Dressing according to your color season isn’t a new idea—it’s making a comeback. For older women, wearing the right colors can help your skin look healthier and more vibrant, subtly combating signs of aging. Additionally, a well-curated wardrobe with your best colors makes dressing up easier and ensures your clothes complement each other.
So, how can you tell if you should go for a spring color palette? Here are some signs:
1. Light Skin: Your skin is light for your ethnicity, not necessarily pale.
2. Hair with Golden or Red Undertones: You might have light blonde to medium brown hair, or strawberry blonde, with golden or red undertones.
3. Clear Eyes: Your eyes are a definite shade of blue, turquoise, green, hazel, or pale brown, without being dark or muted.
4. Medium Contrast: There’s a medium contrast between your skin, hair, and eyes. A black-and-white selfie can help determine this.
5. Gold Jewelry: Gold looks best on you, harmonizing with the warm tones in your skin and hair. Choose gold for accessories and hardware on your clothes.
Celebrities with a spring color palette include Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Williams, Emma Stone, and Jennifer Hudson.
A spring color palette features warm, vibrant colors like bright red, yellow, teal, peach, and orange. These are the shades you should wear close to your face to enhance your complexion. If you don’t have these colors in your wardrobe yet, invest in key pieces over time or use scarves and necklaces to incorporate them gradually.
For neutrals, avoid black and white as they’re too harsh. Instead, go for creams, warm beiges, and brighter navys.
Creating a spring color capsule wardrobe means choosing clothes, shoes, and accessories that flatter you:
– Tops: Neutrals like cream and beige, along with bright shades.
– Jackets: Bright coats and warm shades instead of black or white.
– Jeans and Pants: Colors that complement your tops and create a cohesive look.
– Dresses and Jumpsuits: Bright or warm shades that frame your face.
Shoes don’t need to follow the color guidelines strictly but should complement your outfit.
Accessories: Choose chunky necklaces or scarves in spring colors. Opt for warm-colored bags and gold jewelry.
Putting this all together, you can mix and match these pieces to create endless stylish outfits. Don’t forget that your outfits should also suit your body type for the best overall look.
