Not sure or want some more guidance figuring out your season? I’ve created a guide that will help you digitally “drape” yourself and figure your season in under 30 minutes.Being a warm season, cool toned metals have no a place here. Then, choose colors for your clothing that have the same undertone. If you take nothing else from this, you will want to determine if your skin, hair, and eyes have a neutral, warm, or cool undertone. Finding your season is just a starting point to help you figure out the color palette you may want for your wardrobe. Of course, you can always experiment outside of your season, as well! For example, my season does not have black or gray in, but I find if I wear blacks that don’t have blue undertones and warmer grays, that it is flattering.

Each season is then broken down into a subtype like cool or soft or deep, which just tells you how vivid or muted the colors are in this season you should wear. Seasons are used because we already associate certain colors with each season, like white snow in the winter, rich red leaves in the fall, kelly green grass in the summer, or pastel pink flowers in the spring. The colors in your season will complement your features best, and you probably already reach for some of these colors! Then, depending on how light or dark each of those things are, it puts you into a “season”: Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter. Seasonal Color Analysis takes the coloring and undertones of three things into account: It’s what looks good on and complements my skintone and hair.

It isn’t just preference, because my house is full of bright colors. I like red, but only particularly shades. I like pink and bright yellow, just not on me.
I ended up with a rainbow of a closet, but I only reached for things in certain colors. Before I started to care about my style, I just wore and bought whatever struck my fancy. “What the heck is a seasonal color analysis and why should I care?” - what you’re probably thinking.
