Decoding Your Skin Undertone for a Flattering Wardrobe

Have you ever put on a certain color and suddenly felt like your best self? That magic happens when your clothing and makeup work in harmony with your skin undertone—whether it leans cool (blue-tinted) or warm (yellow-tinted). Understanding these subtle undertones is a total game-changer when it comes to curating a wardrobe or makeup look that enhances your natural beauty. But let’s take it a step further: building a cohesive, flattering wardrobe isn’t just about color theory—it’s about finding fabrics, patterns, and styles that truly reflect you.


Styling Tips for Summer Undertones

If you have a Summer undertone, your wardrobe should exude elegance and fluidity. Think soft, curving lines that flow like an elegant “S” drawn in the sand. For patterns, delicate sophistication is your best friend—prints like petite wildflowers or soft orchids add just the right touch. When choosing designs, avoid harsh contrasts and aim for harmony. Even classic combos like red, white, and blue take on a fresh vibe with understated checks or subtle stripes that enhance a calm and refined aesthetic.

Fabrics to Embrace


Fabrics are the secret ingredient that ties everything together! For Summers, soft textures that feel as light as a breeze are key. Chiffon, velveteen, lightweight wool, and cotton perfectly capture the essence of Summer. Silks in muted hues also work beautifully, adding a serene elegance to your wardrobe. These fabrics create that airy, understated charm that embodies the Summer personality.


Exploring Summer Subtypes


Want to dive deeper into your Summer undertone? A professional color consultation can unlock the secrets of your unique palette, including the four Summer subtypes: Brownette Summer (Absolute Summer), Moonlight Summer, Sunshine Summer, and Indian Summer.
