Soft Summer

MEDIUM · COOL · SOFT

Soft, cool, and muted. Subtle, smoky colours. Your colouring reads medium-depth and cool-leaning, so soft, muted colours echo it rather than compete with it.

How to wear it

Mid-depth colours are your safest bet — neither washed-out pastels nor the very darkest shades. When two similar pieces are side by side, choose the blue-leaning, cooler version of any colour, in a muted, matte finish rather than neon.
