Bright, cool and muted summer - the best styles for you!

Did you know that skillfully emphasizing your natural beauty can be the key to perfect styling? Each type of skin requires a unique approach to bring out its natural beauty . Today, we'll focus on summer color types: light, cool, and muted. We'll also provide you with some inspiration for the best styles and colors that will perfectly accentuate your beauty.

💡 Remember that color type is just a guideline that helps you create looks using color. Besides color analysis, styles are selected based on makeup, hair color (which is often dyed), preferences, personality, and even the material of a specific garment.

SUMMER - color type

The summer color type, although associated with sun, heat, and warmth, is considered cool. The summer complexion is bright, muted, and cool. How can you recognize it? Women with the summer complexion often have platinum or brown hair, which tends to gray . Eyes can be light blue, light green, charcoal gray, or simply gray. The complexion is quite pale, with a milky or olive hue.

SUMMER beauty type - what colors of clothes?

Searching for "summer body type clothes" or "summer body type colors" might reveal cool, light, and muted shades. Those with a summer body type look beautiful in, among other things, whitened pastels, especially when paired with other bright, stark colors . The "summer" color palette isn't too warm. If you want to dress in accordance with color palettes, I recommend avoiding intense, warm colors. Neon and saturated colors aren't the best choice either.

Styling for the SUMMER beauty type

When choosing the right outfit for your skin tone, it's always worth considering your undertones. White and pastel shades will perfectly accentuate your cool undertones. If you're looking for a pop of color, cool lavender or muted pistachio will certainly help you create unique outfits . It's definitely worth focusing on clothing shades close to your face. The further away from the face, the more the colors may deviate from your color type.

Color type BRIGHT SUMMER

Light Summer is a beauty type characterized by delicate, pastel skin, hair, and eye tones, often referred to as Scandinavian . People in this color category have very light skin, hair, and eyes.

👉🏻 To highlight its natural glow, it is worth reaching for light, subdued colors of clothes, e.g. whitened pastels.

👉🏻 Choose light, airy fabrics that will emphasize the lightness of your beauty.

👉🏻 Subtle pastels such as mint, pink, cool blue, light beige, lavender, light gray, sage will be an excellent choice.

👉🏻 Avoid intense contrasts and highly saturated shades - focus on color harmony.

👉🏻 If you prefer darker styles, try swapping black for navy, which still has a more subtle feel. Dark, all-color looks can overwhelm your look.

👉🏻 Its sister type is bright spring, so you can borrow colors from its palette that catch your eye.

Color type COOL SUMMER

Cool summer is characterized by fair skin with a slight pink or blue undertone, silver or ash-gray hair, and blue or green eyes. The cool summer color type is similar to the cool winter color type, making it the most expressive of all the summer color types. Cool, muted colors that harmonize with the natural color palette of skin and hair are ideal for this type. Choose shades of gray, blue, mint, or pink.

👉🏻 Cool-toned fabrics, such as linen or silk, will add elegance to your summer outfits.

👉🏻 Since this is a somewhat expressive type of beauty, you can use individual elements in intense colors in your styling, e.g. rhubarb, English pink or cornflower blue.

👉🏻 You will look especially beautiful in cool shades, e.g. greens with a touch of blue, so avoid warm, autumnal combinations.

👉🏻 Although dark colors are discouraged for delicate, summer types, a cool summer can look very intriguing in black.

Color type MUTED SUMMER

The Muted Summer skin tone is a subtle, subdued appearance, characterized by a delicate, neutral complexion and soft, muted hair. It's usually slightly darker than the Light Summer skin tone and significantly less intense than the Cool Summer skin tone . It's difficult to determine whether it's a Cool or Warm skin tone, as it often has characteristics of both.

For a muted summer, subdued, soft, blurred colors that do not overwhelm the delicate beauty will be perfect.

👉🏻 The color palette of muted summer lacks intensity. Choose shades like beige, cool brown, taupe, olive, or delicate purple.

👉🏻 Styling in neutral tones will make you look elegant and subtle at the same time.

👉🏻 Muted summer has subdued colors, so avoid expressive, highly saturated shades that can look overwhelming.

👉🏻 The sister type of this color subtype is muted autumn, so you can reach for shades from this palette, e.g. petrol, celadon, dove blue.

👉🏻 Black can be a bit too overwhelming for this type of beauty, especially around the face, so you can try replacing it with navy blue or chocolate brown.
