Palette explained

What makes Light Summer distinctive?

Light Summer is the lightest and softest of the Summer palettes, combining gentle coolness with an airy, delicate quality. Rather than bright, warm or highly contrasting colours, this palette is filled with soft, cool shades that feel light, elegant and naturally calming.

Light Summer colours have coolness without sharpness and softness without becoming grey or dull. Think powder blue instead of cobalt, blush pink instead of coral, soft raspberry instead of bright fuchsia, duck egg blue instead of turquoise, and soft white instead of stark optic white. These colours echo the gentle lightness often found in Light Summer colouring, helping your complexion appear brighter, fresher and more harmonious.

If you've been typed as a Light Summer, you'll usually find that lighter, cooler colours bring balance to your features, while colours that are very dark, highly saturated or strongly warm can overwhelm your natural colouring. Building your wardrobe around soft Light Summer neutrals, then adding delicate accent colours, makes it easy to create outfits that feel fresh, effortless and beautifully coordinated.
