Soft Summer outfits
Use these three-color recipes as a starting point for clothes you already own. The shapes and materials are up to you.
Dusty rose, blue-gray and muted pine share a quiet, cool cast. Layer neighboring depths so one very bright piece does not steal all the attention.
Three color recipes
Everyday layers
Cool Grey 3 for trousers or a skirt, Light Grey for a top, and Robin's Egg Blue in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.
A workday combination
Battleship Grey for trousers or a skirt, Bluey Grey for a top, and Light Mauve 2 in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.
A little more color
Charcoal Grey 3 for trousers or a skirt, Slate Grey for a top, and Grey/blue in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.
A practical rule
Choose the neutral for the largest garment, an accent for the smaller garment, and one detail. Repeat a color to tie the outfit together.
For this softer palette, try colors of a similar depth together before adding a strong contrast.
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.
