Summer
Cool, soft, and effortlessly elegant. Your palette is a beautiful mix of dusty roses, soft lavenders, cool teals, and muted blue-greys — colours that bring a gentle, sophisticated radiance to your complexion.
All 30 of your colours
Every one of these shades flatters your cool, soft complexion. Use this as your shopping reference — if a colour isn't here, put it back on the rail.
Eight colours every Summer should own
These are the foundation of your wardrobe. Build around these and everything will coordinate effortlessly.
Your alternative to black. Use this as your dark anchor — coats, trousers, smart dresses. Softer and more flattering than harsh black.
Your signature colour. Gorgeous for knitwear, blouses, and scarves. Makes your eyes sparkle and your complexion glow.
Your statement red. A cool, blue-based red that makes you look vibrant without overpowering. Perfect for a bold lip or a party dress.
Rich and sophisticated. Stunning as a blazer, jacket, or dress. Pairs beautifully with your pinks, lavenders, and silver jewellery.
Your most wearable pink. Flattering as a top, cardigan, or accessory. Soft enough for daytime, rich enough for evening.
Your perfect warm neutral. Trousers, bags, boots, and coats. Use this where others reach for beige — it flatters your cool undertone far better.
Fresh and uplifting. Perfect for summer tops, light knitwear, and scarves. Brings a cool freshness that complements your natural colouring.
Your essential light neutral. Where Springs wear cream, you wear this cool grey. Gorgeous for layering, knitwear, and workwear basics.
Outfit formulas for every occasion
Cool & Polished
Soft navy trousers, lavender blouse, rose taupe bag. Silver jewellery. Elegant and authoritative with a soft, feminine edge.
Soft & Relaxed
Soft mint tee, cool grey jeans, dusky rose trainers or scarf. Easy, fresh, and quietly put together.
Elegant & Dramatic
Cool raspberry dress, teal clutch or wrap, purple statement earrings. Silver accessories. Sophisticated Summer glamour.
Colours to embrace vs avoid
As a Summer, warm, earthy tones and harsh brights overwhelm your natural cool softness. Stay in your lane and you'll always look effortlessly elegant.
Pure black, warm orange, mustard yellow, olive green, and caramel. These warm, earthy tones clash with your cool undertone and make your complexion look sallow and tired.
Soft lavenders, cool teals, dusty roses, muted navy, and silver greys. These cool, muted shades harmonise with your complexion and bring out a natural, luminous glow.
Makeup, jewellery & accessories
Lip Colour
Cool pinks, dusty roses, and berry tones. Your cool raspberry (#2) is a stunning evening lip. For everyday, reach for dusky rose (#77) or soft orchid (#79). Avoid warm corals and orangey nudes.
Jewellery Metals
Silver, white gold, and platinum. These cool metals complement your undertone perfectly. Rose gold can work too. Avoid yellow gold and brass — they add warmth where you don't need it.
Hair Colour
Cool, ashy tones suit you best. Think ash blonde, cool brunette, mushroom brown, or soft grey. Avoid warm golden highlights, copper, and red tones. Cool balayage will enhance your natural elegance.
