How to tell Light Summer from the neighbor

Light Spring is the same lightness with peach instead of rose. If coral and buttercup even the skin and lavender looks bruised, you are Light Spring. Cool Summer is the same coolness with more depth. If raspberry and slate look expensive and powder pink looks childish, you are Cool Summer. Silver should win for Light Summer; gold that warms the jaw is Spring. Black near the face overpowers both light seasons — that is not a Winter vote by itself.

How to Wear It

The Light Summer guide to wardrobe, makeup & jewelry

Wardrobe

Stay light and cool: soft white with powder pink, light grey with sky blue, cool beige with lavender. Avoid black entirely — too heavy. If you need a dark, use soft navy or slate. Tonal pastel dressing is especially flattering.

Makeup

Sheer and cool: rose or pink blush, soft berry or rose lip, cool taupe shadows, brown — not black — mascara. Heavy contour and matte black eyeliner age Light Summers visibly.

Jewelry

Silver, white gold, light platinum, pearl.
