Finding your season can be a little complicated, it's not exact and there are different breakdowns of each season. I'll use the simplest method I know, which is going by your hair. Obviously, if you dye your hair this gets screwy. You can use your natural hair color or whatever color it's currently dyed.
1. Is your hair light or dark?
This doesn't necessarily mean blonde or brunette, just whichever side of the lightness scale you fall under. If you are having a hard time deciding, look at yourself out of focus in a magnifying mirror (or by making your eyes go out of focus, if you can do that). Your hair will blend and make it easier to tell which side of the scale you fall under.
If your hair is light, go to 2. If dark, go to 3.
2. Light hair- Warm or Cool?
Hair that is warm will have touches of gold and red in it. Cool hair can be blonde or light brown, just no gold or red.
If your hair is light and warm, go to 4. If light and cool, go to 5.
3. Dark hair- Warm or Cool?
The same as light hair, you decide if your hair is warm or cool by the tones in it. If there is red or golden tones in your hair, it's warm. Cool and dark hair is absent of red and golden tones.
If your hair is dark and warm, go to 6. If dark and cool, go to 7.
4. Spring
Hello Spring. You have a bright and sunny coloration, and should wear clothes that appear bathed in sunlight. You'll receive compliments in bright shades like turquoise, salmon, and watermelon.
5. Summer
Hi Summer. You have the most delicate coloring of all the seasons. Avoiding harsh contrasts is key for you, you want to keep the entire look calm and in harmony. You look best in pastel shades like rose, periwinkle, and sage.
6. Autumn
Hola fellow Autumns :) Our natural coloring is earthy, golden, and natural. The Autumns of the world can wear muted and rich, warm colors like a fall landscape or exotic spices. Our best colors are autumn shades like moss, rust, and terra cotta.
7. Winter
Bonjour Winters. You have distinctive coloring, often high contrasting between your hair, skin, and eyes. You'll look amazing in bold colors like black, white, red, and jewel tones.
I'll be going into more depth in each season soon, including a fuller color palette and breaking down each season into subcategories. As I mentioned above, I'm an Autumn. Kysa's a Spring. What are you? Leave a comment below :)
