Light Summer style is gentle and tonal. Outfits work best when built from soft cool colors that whisper rather than shout. Pair powder blue with cool cream, lilac with dove grey, rose quartz with soft navy. Stark contrast and saturated hues overwhelm the softness. Silver, white gold, and pearls suit you. Yellow gold fights the cool skin. For lipstick, choose cool rose or dusty mauve, not warm coral.

• Black

  Too harsh against your soft, low contrast

  Warm and too saturated for your cool palette

  Adds too much weight to your delicate frame

• Honey Gold

  Warm hue clashes with your cool skin

• Forest Green

  Too dark and saturated

Light Summers often try to look polished by wearing black, and end up looking older and harder. Black isn't the right color. Cool navy or soft charcoal can substitute. Another mistake: wearing the warm 'nude' makeup shades that work for spring seasons. They make the skin look sallow. Choose cool-toned pinks instead. The third mistake is high-contrast outfits (pure white shirt + black pants), which create more drama than the face can carry.

• Light Summer vs Light Spring: which am I?

  Both are light, but Light Summer is cool. Pink, silver, grey energy. Light Spring is warm. Peach, gold, cream energy. Look at your veins. Blue means Summer, green means Spring.

• Can Light Summers wear black?

  Not near the face. Black overpowers the softness. If you wear it, layer a cool pastel scarf or blouse at the collar to keep the face lit.

• What's the best lipstick for Light Summer?

  Cool rose, soft pink, dusty mauve, and cool berry on a bolder day. Skip warm coral, peach, or orange-reds. They make the cool skin look sallow.

• What hair color suits a Light Summer?

  Cool ash blonde, soft cool brown, dishwater blonde. Anything with warm honey, copper, or red will fight your cool undertone. Cool toners after coloring keep the brassy warmth out.

• Should Light Summer wear gold or silver?

  Silver, white gold, platinum, and pearls. Yellow gold fights the cool skin. Rose gold sits in a grey area and can work if it's very pale, but pure silver is the safer bet.

• Which celebrities are Light Summer?

  Cate Blanchett, Carey Mulligan, Sienna Miller, Margot Robbie, and Diane Kruger are commonly typed as Light Summers. Cool fair skin and ash-toned hair are the signals.
