Picking clothes that look good isn’t enough. You want clothes that look good on you.

That’s where color season styling comes in a method that helps you dress based on your skin tone, undertone, and natural contrast. When you get it right, your outfits don’t just fit they glow.

Let’s break it down.

Why Skin Tone Matters in Styling

Ever tried on a shirt and felt… off? Even though it fits? That’s likely because the color clashes with your skin tone.

Your skin, hair, and eyes create a natural palette. When your clothes align with that palette, everything clicks your face looks brighter, your features sharper, your style more cohesive.

Warm vs Cool: The Basic Breakdown

Most people fall into either:

Warm undertones (yellow/golden base)
Cool undertones (pink/blue base)
Some are neutral, with a bit of both

A quick way to test this:

Veins Test: Green = warm, Blue = cool
Jewelry Test: Gold flatters warm tones, silver flatters cool tones

The 4 Color Seasons (and What to Wear)

Once you know your undertone, you fall into a color “season”:

1. Spring (Warm + Light)

Skin: Peachy, light ivory
Wear: Coral, peach, mint green, warm beiges

2. Summer (Cool + Light)

Skin: Rosy, pale pink undertones

3. Autumn (Warm + Deep)
