More about Cool Summer (also called True Summer)

In some colour analysis systems, Cool Summer is called True Summer. Both names describe the same palette: colours that are cool, balanced and softly blended. Cool Summer sits at the coolest point of the Summer palettes, meaning colours feel calm, refined and harmonious rather than bright or warm. People with Cool Summer colouring tend to suit colours that feel cool, elegant and softly muted, rather than warm or highly saturated.

Cool Summer colours

Typical Cool Summer colours include rose pink, berry red, cool navy, soft plum, cool teal and dusty blue. These shades share a common quality: they are cool, balanced and slightly muted, rather than bright or warm. Building a wardrobe around these colours helps create outfits that feel refined and easy to mix together. These colours are typical of the Cool Summer palette and are featured throughout our Cool Summer clothing collection.

Cool Summer wardrobe staples and clothing

Building a Cool Summer capsule wardrobe is easiest when you start with cool, balanced neutrals. Many Cool Summer wardrobes include staples like soft navy jackets, cool grey knitwear, charcoal denim and berry-toned dresses. Staples often include: cool navy coats and jackets, soft grey knitwear, charcoal denim, berry dresses and silver accessories. These cooler neutrals allow accent colours like rose pink or teal to stand out while keeping outfits balanced. If you're building a wardrobe in these colours, explore our Cool Summer fashion collection above to shop clothing that fits this palette.

How to style Cool Summer outfits

Cool Summer outfits work best when colours stay cool, balanced and softly blended rather than warm or bright. Try combining: rose pink + cool grey, berry + navy, dusty blue + charcoal

Choosing smooth fabrics, soft textures and gentle colour transitions can enhance the natural elegance of the palette.

Styling tip: Colours can shift on screen — check with your swatches. If you fall in love with something warmer or brighter than you’d usually go for, wear it away from your face, add cool accents (silver jewellery, soft rose lipstick, cool scarf), and ground it with Cool Summer neutrals. For mixed patterns, echo the cooler tones in your accessories or outer layers.
