Tips

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I'm a Warm Autumn?

Rich warm colors like rust, olive and mustard make you glow, while icy pastels and cool pinks look flat. Gold flatters you more than silver. If warm, earthy colors beat both cool and very bright ones in daylight, Warm Autumn is likely.

What's the difference between Warm Autumn and Warm Spring?

Both seasons are warm first. Warm Autumn is richer and more muted, suiting rust, olive and mustard. Warm Spring is clearer and lighter, suiting coral, turquoise and golden yellow.

Is True Autumn the same as Warm Autumn?

Yes. True Autumn and Warm Autumn are two names for the warmest of the three autumn seasons.

Can Warm Autumn wear blue?

Yes, choose warm blues like teal, petrol and peacock rather than icy or royal blue. Warm denim works well too.
