Frequently asked questions
Do Summer palettes have to avoid all bright colors?
Not entirely. Cool Summer can handle more saturation than Soft Summer. The key is that the color still has a muted, blue-based quality. A rich cool raspberry can work for Cool Summer even though bright fuchsia is too intense.
Can I shop at warm-toned brands if I find the right piece?
Yes. Any brand can carry a Summer-friendly piece. The brands above just stock your tones more consistently. Always judge the individual item.
What denim works for Summer palettes?
Medium-wash denim with a cool blue cast is ideal. Avoid warm vintage washes and heavily distressed styles. Soft grey denim also works as an alternative neutral.
