Light Summer

Light Summer neutrals

Neutrals hold a wardrobe together. Choose a pale, a middle and a deeper anchor so outfits have a useful range.

Powder blue, pale rose and light lavender form gentle combinations. Favor coolness without turning every outfit icy or highly contrasted.

Pale, middle and deep anchors

Choose cool-neutral, light, gently soft tones.

A practical rule

A neutral need not be beige. A low-chroma blue, green or plum can work as an understated anchor.

For this palette, begin with moderate contrast and adjust the size of the accent.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
