Beyond Women's Fashion

Seasonal color analysis isn't just for women. Understanding which colors complement your skin tone, hair, and eye color can dramatically improve how clothing looks on you.

The Four Seasons

Spring (Warm + Light)

Golden undertones, light eyes, lighter hair. Best colors: warm yellows, peach, light olive, coral. Avoid: black, pure white, deep burgundy.

Summer (Cool + Light)

Pink/blue undertones, ash-toned hair, soft eyes. Best colors: dusty pink, lavender, soft grey, periwinkle. Avoid: orange, warm browns, bright yellow.

Autumn (Warm + Deep)

Golden/olive undertones, warm brown or red hair. Best colors: burnt orange, forest green, mustard, terracotta. Avoid: pastels, bright pink, icy colors.

Winter (Cool + Deep)

High contrast features, dark hair, bright eyes. Best colors: true red, royal blue, emerald, black. Avoid: muted earth tones, peach, gold.

Quick Self-Test

Hold a warm orange and a cool pink near your face in natural light. Which makes you look healthier? Orange = warm season (Spring/Autumn). Pink = cool season (Summer/Winter).
