How to Wear It

The Cool Summer guide to wardrobe, makeup & jewelry

Wardrobe

Lean into cool, refined colours: soft white with raspberry, navy with periwinkle, grey with plum. Cool Summers can do slightly more contrast than Soft Summers — but always blue-based. Warm earthy colours (camel, mustard, rust) drain the skin.

Makeup

Cool and gentle: rose or raspberry blush, berry or rose lip, soft cool-taupe and slate shadows. Liner in cool charcoal rather than warm brown. Skip orange-leaning corals and bronzers.

Jewelry

Silver, white gold, brushed platinum. Cool pearl. Yellow gold can read mismatched.
