What is Seasonal Typology
Seasonal colour analysis is a system that takes our skin tone, natural eye tone, and hair colour and formulates the best colour palette for us based on those factors. It takes into account our undertones (hue) and the value (light versus dark) of our skin, hair, and eyes and uses that to find the types of colours we look best in.
Seasonal colour analysis is broken up into three main factors:
Hue: Your hue can either be cool or warm
Value: Your value is either light or dark
Chroma: Muted/soft to bright/clear
​
​
Your skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour will fall into one of four main seasonal categories: winter, spring, summer, and autumn.
The base families are named after seasons because each season has an established colour association with it. For instance, we think of oranges and red for autumn, icy white and pale blue for winter, apple green for spring, and light, airy colours for summer.
The Magic of Colour Theory in Fashion
Colour theory isn't just a fundamental element of art and design; it's also a secret weapon in the world of fashion and personal styling. Imagine having a guide that helps you choose the perfect accessories, like earrings or glasses, that not only complement your complexion but also enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. That's the power of understanding colour theory and the role of metals in fashion.
Take, for example, the warm Emma Stone. A simple switch in the colour of her metal accessories, and her hair and complexion seem to take on a new life, glowing with vibrancy. It's a subtle change that can make a dramatic difference.
But the benefits of colour theory in fashion extend beyond just looking good. It's about creating a harmonious wardrobe where every piece works together, unified by a single colour palette. This approach leads to efficient and effective shopping sessions, eliminating the frustration of "wrong" purchases. You save not only time and space but also money. The concept of a Colour Analysis session is becoming increasingly popular. It's an enjoyable, non-invasive process that culminates in the gift of a personalized colour palette. This palette becomes a trusted companion in your purse, ready to guide you through future shopping adventures, ensuring that every choice is a step towards a more cohesive and flattering wardrobe.
Imagine the confidence that comes with knowing every item you wear is chosen to highlight your best features and reflect your personal style. No more guesswork, no more fashion faux pas—just a clear path to a wardrobe that works for you.
Colour theory in fashion is more than just a theory; it's a practical tool that changes the way you see yourself and the way you approach your personal style. It's an experience that promises to transform your relationship with colours and, ultimately, with your wardrobe. Embrace the colours that love you back, and watch as they work their magic on your everyday style.
