Color Theory for Your Wardrobe
The right colors can make you look vibrant and healthy, while the wrong ones can wash you out. Color theory helps you identify which shades complement your natural coloring.
Understanding Your Undertone
Skin undertones are warm, cool, or neutral. Warm undertones look best in earth tones (olive, peach, gold). Cool undertones shine in jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, ruby). Neutral undertones can wear most colors.
Seasonal Color Analysis
Spring: Warm and light — coral, peach, warm green. Summer: Cool and soft — pastels, lavender, rose. Autumn: Warm and deep — rust, olive, mustard. Winter: Cool and bold — black, white, red, cobalt.
Building Your Palette
Choose one neutral (black, navy, grey, or brown) as your base. Add 2-3 colors from your seasonal palette. Include one metallic (gold for warm, silver for cool). This gives you a cohesive wardrobe that mixes effortlessly.
