I’ve been asked a few times by clients during our onboarding process/discovery call whether they’re an “Autumn”, a “Summer” or “Spring”, etc etc. I can only loosely assume this is a reference to what colors are supposedly ideal for them, as told by either some outdated fashion advice column or proliferated by an old-school stylist (who dresses all their clients in more or less the same manner). Of course, there are colors that look better on some than others, but the reality is a color palette should be based on your personal preferences, not what arbitrary “season” has been assigned to you.
Personal fashion style is also just that: personal. If you’re drawn to a color, then there are different tints, shades, and hues of that particular color that you should experiment with, not what you are told might match your personality profile. Further, the only real information you need to know is your skin tone/how it looks with certain tints of colors you like, as well as how to complement your hair/eye color. Otherwise, it’s encouraged that you have fun and try new colors, patterns, and textures that allure you.
Further, as anyone in the fashion world will tell you, trends come and go but personal style is forever. That’s why it’s important to base your color palette on your own preferences, not what some arbitrary “season” has been assigned to you. After all, fashion is meant to be fun! So experiment with different tints, shades, and hues of your favorite colors, and find the ones that go with your skin tone, hair color, and eye color. And don’t be afraid to try new textures and patterns – fashion is all about self-expression! So go out there and express yourself in whatever colors make you happy. After all, experimentation is the only way to gain new knowledge and information about your personal style!
Who knows, you might just find your new favorite color combination.
