Understanding Your Personal Color Palette: Ditch the “Season” Labels
Clients often ask during onboarding or discovery calls whether they are an “Autumn,” “Spring,” or another “season.” This outdated concept, likely stemming from old fashion advice or traditional styling, suggests certain colors are ideal based on an assigned season. However, personal style is just that—personal.
While it’s true that some colors complement certain skin tones better, your color palette should reflect your preferences, not an arbitrary seasonal label. The key is to understand how tints, shades, and hues of your favorite colors interact with your skin tone, hair color, and eye color. For example, experimenting with these variations can help you discover what makes you feel and look your best.
Fashion is about self-expression, not rules. Trends come and go, but personal style is timeless. Try new textures, patterns, and colors that attract you, and don’t limit yourself to a narrow palette. Experimenting with different combinations is the only way to truly refine your style—and you might even find your next favorite look.
Whether you’re drawn to bold, vibrant shades or soft, muted tones, remember: your style journey is about what makes you happy. So have fun, express yourself, and embrace the colors that resonate with you. Fashion is meant to be enjoyed—every step of the way.
