Unearthing Your Personal Colour Palette

A season’s mood often manifests in the colours that come to dominate the streets and runways. Not to mention, one way to make your wardrobe feel fresh and on-trend for a new season is by adding an of-the-moment colour to your look and a personal seasonal colour analysis is a great place to start with your own unique colour palette. Rooted from the four-season colour theory, colours are categorised into warm and cool tones and are further divided into Spring and Autumn colours for the former, Summer and Winter colours for the latter.

Read on and get inspired for some styling inspiration and unlock the secrets of your most flattering color palette, empowering you to enhance your natural beauty with confidence.

Spring embodies warm undertones with a burst of brightness. Picture coral, aqua, and golden yellows - hues that reflect the energy of blooming flowers. Head-to toe denim is for summer – in a big way. Just ask this street styler, for example. On the streets of Fashion Week, she styled her Canadian tux with big silver hoops and super baggy trousers. And for one extra pop of colour, she styled it with a maroon handbag.

Autumn warms are likened to the colours of Halloween. This type is known for looking best in colours that remind you of nature, such as forest green, dark brown, and mustard yellow. Sprinkle some energy on your everyday outfits by switching your play-it-safe classics with something that pops. Go for a full mellow-yellow look, as modeled by this chic showgoer. Then accessorise with a pair of brown cargo trousers, a pair of white sneakers with a touch of silver jewellery.

Winter cool gives off the sharpest energy within the four seasons. These types look best in crisp neutrals such as stark whites and deep blacks. Go for a classic porcelain white shade and have fun mixing fabrics and layering. Picture this: an all-white crochet maxi dress instantly elevated with a sharp black trench blazer paired with white pointed heels, seamlessly taking you from office hours to cocktail hours.

Summer cool has the most understated aura. These people often look best in muted, soft pinks and lilacs – colours that bring out a more subtle and refined mood. Make summer 2024 the season you leave your comfort zone by opting for a key lime accessory. Pink and green are a match made in heaven. This showgoer stepped out in style, which she accessorized with a pink head wrap and white statement sunnies. Then, to tie the look together, she finished off the look with a cool, spacious shoulder bag. One thing’s for certain: This is one surefire way to shine bright all season long.
