You are a spring if your skin appears to be ivory or peach toned. Springs are normally redheads or natural blonds with light colored eyes. They tend to also have a warm or soft skin tone with gold like hues underneath.

People classified as springs should toss out clothes with stark colors like white and black from their closet. Harsh colors don’t compliment their fair skin tone. Instead springs should purchase a wardrobe full of warm colors such as camel, peach and light brown or beige. Some bright colors such as red and green can also look great with your coloring, but be cautious that you don’t buy clothing with colors that are too dark.

You should classify yourself as a winter if you detect that you have a cooler skin tone that has blue or rosy undertones. Many people of color, including people of Latin, Asian and African-American descent fall into the winter category. Caucasian brunettes with brown hair and dark eyes are usually classified as winters also.

Winters should head straight to the clothing items that are bold or intense. Some examples would be purple, red, pink, black, navy and blue. Pastel colors are also recommended for winters since it also brings out their skin’s cool undertone. Colors that should be avoided include earth tones such as gold or beige. In fact, the only neutrals that winters should stock up on should be black and white.

Summers normally have a cooler skin tone complexion, lighter eyes and pale skin. Brunettes and natural blondes can fall into the summer category.

Summers look best in clothes that come in earthy shades. Soft and muted colors such as baby blue, rose pink, pale yellow and lavender will really compliment their hair, skin and eye coloring. The colors you should stay away from are black and orange. Vivid hues are not flattering for your coloring and aren’t recommended.

Autumns have skin tones that are warm or pale peach. If you are a brunettes or redhead with hazel or light brown eyes, then you would most likely be categorized as an autumn.

Every autumn should not purchase clothing with light, pastel colors.

Throw away any item in your closet that has bluish undertones, and don’t buy bright or very contrasted colors such as white and black. Autumns instead should shop for clothes with colors that are normally associated with the season autumn. So be on the lookout for items that are orange, gold, brown, grey and beige.
