How to dress your season
Your neutrals are ivory, cream, camel and warm sand – not stark white or cool grey. Anything with a blue or purple base will fight your colouring. Your colouring has a natural softness. Toned-down, blended colours harmonise with your overall look. High-saturation, very vivid colours can look harsh – lean into the softness. Your colouring has balanced depth. The full mid-range works for you – the extremes (very pale or very dark) matter less than getting the undertone right.
Common questions
How do I know if I'm a True Autumn?
True Autumn colouring typically has medium overall depth – neither distinctly light nor dark, warm, golden undertones, and a natural softness – features that blend together rather than contrast sharply. The key is looking at skin, hair and eyes together as a whole. If you're unsure, the Draped quiz maps you to one of the 12 seasons in under two minutes.
