Sarah - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I am a warm spring and turquoise/aqua colors are my second favorite behind coral/peach colors.
Hello, spring type here. I agree with your choice of colors, it's just hard to find particular items in those colors sometimes...😊
@@picturesquelife4175 All the more important to be aware of them - because if you spot them or the fashion industry unleashes it onto the unsuspecting consumers - you can take advantage of your opportunity. Without knowing your best colours it is hard to withstand the pressure to buy something (let's say you need a formal costume or suit and a black one looks good, nice fit, looks expensive, good price - this is the time when a lot of people get some kinda O.K. things into their wardrobe. The garments will be good - just not ideal on them. On the other hand if you see The garment (right style for you body type and and ideal colour on top) you will not let the opportunity slide. (of course it would be a good idea if you are able to keep the weight stable because then you can use those favorite pieces for a long time).
@@picturesquelife4175 Another trick is to acessorize. And in colour analysis it matters how close the fabric is to your face. So a wide neckline with more skin showing (your natural skin is always an O.K. to good fit, unless you have skin problems) can allow a summer or even spring type to wear black.
The next trick is to wear a lipstick in an ideal colour. With foundation on you can pull off more and stray out of your palette more. But that is not for everyone. Lipstick is a very fast fix and can add visual interest and more contrast / intensity to your face, that can counterbalance not so ideal colours.
Things like shine, glitter (it makes the fabric look brighter, or like a lighter tint) can play a role whether you can pull off a less than ideal colour. For instance a fuzzy or very structured surface absorbs more light, it tones down intense colours, even a neon yellow will "bite" less - and look more classy - if it is in chashmere or mohair.
Women can use scarves, jewelry to adjust the impact of the garment next to the face. And colourful or statement pantyhoses, shoes and handbags for stylish outfits. Men can use ties or even bandanas to insert a pop of the ideal colours NEXT to their face. A suit can be amended with a shirt, tie and vest in a flattering colour. (it should pair well with the main not-so-ideal colour and look fabulous on you. Then it can do a lot to make this outfit work for you.
I also noted that often the contrasts (when you combine colours) should not be too bold. Think a soft summer trying to save the beloved black leather jacket. Yes one can style it with light blue (dress or top). But it often looks a bit weird. The contrast is just too much to look elegant. It is an unexpected combination so it adds visual interest. But not all surprising combinations are flattering.
So if light blue is a good colour a dark muted colour for the bottoms could look great. Some contrast but not too much. Even surprising combinations are possible. Think any brown/greyish/taupe colours. Weird greys. Even khaki. Those neither here nor there colours can be a fabulous background for tops in ideal colours. And as the combination is a bit unusual it adds a lot of visual interest.
And of course using the ideal colours for tops. Especially formal wear can be tricky for a spring or autumn type. Realistically an autumn type will have a hard time finding a brown or green suit. Spring types might get away with a lighter grey or grey-beige / sand tone, but autumn types have a formal wear problem for sure. And on some occasions even a "tan" suit is not formal enough, it has to be a very dark colour.
If you have to be mindful of prices ... you may end up with the generic blue, black or grey that are offered in masses. Sommer and winter types have it easier for (dark) formal wear.
Which is why it is important to use the opportunity when a flattering colour is pushed as the colour of the season. Then one might even get a costume or suit in an ideal colour, that would not be offered w/o that fashion industry dictate.
At the minimum then one can get simple but gut quality shirts and scarves to adjust the generic dark blue, dark grey, grey or black.
I also find that a cut and colour that is ideal for a person never goes "out of style" for the wearer - unless the features are really extreme. (like very short skirts, extremely wide trousers, extreme shoulder pads, or very tiny, slim winter jackets. Or very oversized). If those features are very extreme the garments can give you a dated look, but if you buy moderate versons of these trends (the pants has a somewhat wider leg, but it is not extreme) those garments will be wearable for YOU for years. And if the piece is of good quality one can consider having it altered (taking away a bit of wideness of the leg. Or shortening a skirt. Oversized garments can be taken in.
Hardcore fashionistas will notice that this is a cut or colour of 5 - 10 years ago (but they will also notice that it is flattering for YOU, so if they are not mean spirited or snobbish, they will also give you the nod for wearing a flattering outfit). For the majority of people you meet, you you will look "put well together", and it will get you compliments.
If you try to add visiual interest - can be colour, patterns, breaking the rules for instance elegant combined with denim, pattern or colour combinations, quality accessories - your style will be equated with "fashionable" - even though you are technically not fashionable but stylish - because those colours and cuts were promoted / pushed years ago.
I can be fun to shop you wardrobe and getting creative - instead of going shopping. Getting that kick (instead of the kick of buying often w/o wearing it much) is much more wholesome, individualistic, good for your purse and the environment.
Putting in the effort to get the colours and shapes right (and to wear it most of the time, instead of getting complacent with leisure clothes) changes your attitude. And self image. How you show up in the world how much you groom yourself (and people see that investment) has a psychological impact on you.
A lot of people resort to a generic colour (black or denim or beige are often used), because they do not yet know how to create their style and they are afraid to stand out and get attention (which can be unwanted kind of attention. Not being dressed "right" can be shameful, and many children experience that, if they cannot have nice, well fitting clothes, or if they cannot get the brands that their peers have).
I’m a spring with ginger hair and aqua and turquoise are my favourite colours to wear! 🐬
Oh yes I can imagine that’s beautiful 💙
Love blue. I am a summer. Blue is my favorite.
Blue is fabulous for Summers 💙☺️
I love cerulean, cobalt and royal blue. Sometimes I wear blue with royal purple or plum accents. It looks beautiful (as a Winter)🩵💜
On other universal colour - other than true blue and true red is teal. It is a mixture of green and blue. But green is also a mixure of blue and yellow. So teal is blue (cool) that is somewhat amended with a warm colour. That is why autum types can wear teal - and it looks good on all other types. A bit darker or lighter, but teal isn't terribly wrong for anybody (unless they need very light colours, because it is not a pastell).
Blue, yay! A very easy colour for me to wear as a Cool Summer and because my skin is getting better and better because I'm using perfume and alcohol free skincare I can even wear electric blue more easily. Blue is my favourite! 😊
Blue is beautiful on cool summers! Glad to hear your skin is getting better! 💙
@@sarahryanthestylecoach Thank you Sarah 😊
Warm Autumn here. Ever since I discovered Kingfisher blue in my colour pallette, I am enamoured with this colour. I found one poloshirt and one blazer in that colour and I am very happy with it. At first I was a bit bummed that blue is not one of my main colours because I always liked it a lot. But now, I am fine with it. But I do stay away from babyblue and electric blue and very bright types of blue.
Great choices. Kingfisher blue is stunning! So happy to hear you were able to find clothes in it! 💙
I’m a True Autumn. I feel the same way! I can wear Teal well. Navy is ok but not great, a warmer True or Marine Navy is better. The cool seasons have so much selection compared to us. Love your videos Sarah!
I am a deep winter like Sarah so yes. The neon yellow I can do well . The really light yellow that is cool I can wear in the summer when I have more of a tan. I can wear warm purple and cool purples because deep autumn is my sister season
I'm an autumn and warm blues make me look sick and sallow, yet cool blues look fine somehow, although this "color variations" make sense, blue is a cool color after all and clashes with my warmth (which not necessarily is something bad, after it all depends on the effect we're going for)
Exactly and of course the chroma and value too ☺️💙
I'm cool and soft (Summer) and I do like blue, but I prefer cool, muted greens or lavendar / lilac. That might go back to childhood, when my school uniform was navy, and my best friend and my brother wore blue all the time, so I wanted something different.
So many people are put off certain colours because of school uniforms! You are not alone!
I didn't wear grey for years for the same reason!
@@lookwhatiboughttodayyes, I think enforced clothing tends to have that effect!
I am a Winter with blue eyes and dark hair. I love wearing blue. My favourite colours are blue, red and green.
Gorgeous jewel tones for Winter! 💙
I was professionally analysed as a true spring but was also told that blue is my best colour, specifically "cerulean blue". I think I instinctively knew before that blue was a good colour for me and that made me mistakenly think I had a cool undertone.
I can totally understand why you would think that. I bet a lot of people could jump to the same conclusion ☺️💙
I'm a soft autumn. I like blue, I use a darker blue to wear colours a bit out of my palette and tie it all together.
That's a great idea! 💙
I'm a True Spring and a bright navy and aqua are stunning on me, 2 of my best colors. Love your masterclasses!!
Love that! Thanks for watching 💙
Blue near my face really helps detract from some unfortunate redness (early stages of vascular rosacea) on my cheeks. I love blue!
Another winner, Sarah, I’ll be rewatching several times. 💙
Try out high quality rhicinus oil = castor oil instead of a night skin cream. Just the oil nothing else. It has healing properties. Just get high quality: cold press is a must, ideally it is organic as well. (small producers that are organic or almost organic may not bother with certification. But cold press is a must). That will cost 7 - 10 Euros for 100 ml (which is a smaller bottle).
For reference a large cup is usually 250 ml. It is a very thick oil, so you need VERY little, rub it in your clean hands, so it is warmed up and gets a bit more liquid. Then lightly go over the face with the hands. It is of course also good for the skin of your hands and your nails.
Some people mix it with a bit of high quality skin oil (almond, or jojoba or argan oil). It will be less sticky and thick and easier to spread. I consider to mix it with a bit of honey (again organic high quality - honey has also healing properties) and aloe vera gel. I have lots of plants, just need to figure out a way to get rid of the toxins of the skin. If I do not find a reliabe DIY method I will have to buy purified gel. Likely I will keep the mixture in the freezer and only take out a supply for 2 days - it can store for 2 days in the bath (ice cubes maybe).
Ideally you keep the castor oil it in the fridge and take out 1 large spoon in a glass container. It should stand protected from light, and take it out for your skin care with a clean spatula. Then you can use it even close to your eyes (growth of brows and eye lashes). If a bit gets into the eyes it does not matter (if you keep it hygienic). There are eye drops that have 2 % castor oil in them. It can be very good for sore, dry or red eyes.
If a bit of pure oil from the lash care gets into your eyes - no worries. It is good for you. The oil is so thick that it is hard for any microbes to multiply in it. When it does not stand cool (and dark) it starts to oxydize I think, and it may lose its healing properties. A practical compromise is to have the bottle in the fridge and to get out only what you need for a few days. Less time on the counter if the oil is mixed with aloe vera gel. Honey is unproblematic, it is conserved (lots of sugar, the pollen and essential oils and some acid. Bees are very good in preserving their source of food).
Of course you can wear denim pants or skirt. I prefer a dark denim with no holes and no fading no matter what is in style.
You've summarised that so well, extremely helpful thank you x
So glad you liked it. Thank you for watching 💙
This is so helpful. I’m a light spring and have been struggling with finding the right blue. But, the reminder to lean into your main characteristic makes it easier! I just purchased a light blue chambray dress and I think it looks nice, even though it is still considered a cool color.
Glad it was helpful! The dress sounds beautiful 💙
Great video! I‘m a warm autumn and I used to wear blue quite a lot before my analysis. I always thought I might be a warm season, but I love blue, so kept wearing it. Since being analysed as a warm autumn (which I love btw, the colours are *gorgeous*) I stopped wearing it and been sticking to obviously warm colours to make it easier and sort of get the hang of it. But now I‘m excited to start figuring out which blues work for me so I can reintroduce them into my wardrobe. This video helps a lot, thanks!❤
Loved this video. I am a summer and love blue. It is an easy way for me to look my best, especially since I don’t wear makeup other than a bit of cheek color. I put on a shade of blue that flatters me, and a pair of silver earrings and I feel more confident.
Please do more videos on color. I would love one on each of the 4 seasons as well as ones like this about individual colors.
Thanks
Thank you Maria! Your support is very much appreciated! X
Warm Autumn, I love blue since it is an easy color to use for a capsule with tan/Ivory. I love kingfisher but harder to find. I still have chosen to wear Navy when I travel but also use yellow and a cherry red (more yellow undertones) for shirts and scarves. I also like Marine Navy but again hard to find..
A great capsule colour! 💙
😊 Thank you
Summer, love blue!
💙💙💙
For many years I been told I´m Autumn but 2weeks ago my color analysis was SUMMER. No wonder I never felt content for my colors before. I have cool under tone and Gould in my hair.
So happy to hear that you got clarity on your colours! It makes such a difference!
Very interesting!
Great vidéo as usual very informative
Can u plz do Black colors just like this....Im Bright Spring n I really wanna wear Black color that'll suit me.
Btw i love how deeply u make us understand all this color theory!❤
Love this! Well done and explained. Dark autumn. I like the dark teal blues. Love eggplant! Turquoise in Jewelry and also in cloths but more in summer.
I believe i can be a Soft Sping type. I can't wear pure blue but medium to dark blue greens colors look great on me.
Love that! I’ve never heard of Soft Spring though! ☺️💕
@@sarahryanthestylecoachYea, I have a mix of bright and and soft features in my complexion but don't know where I really fit. Heard an analyst mention something called a soft spring don't kno how accurate that is ha.
I’m a true winter and navy blue is my core wardrobe colour. I’m wondering about wearing blues (other than navy)that are cool-toned. Thank you! 💙 🩵🫐
Can you do a video on wearing purples next?
Loved your video.I'm a clear/bright winter and also love wearing blue. I do get more compliments when I wear periwinkle and cobalt or electric blue.
I’m a soft summer and at first I was very worried about whether the colour had warmth in it or not. But I’ve come to realize that a lot of colours that work for me could be working for a soft autumn as well (the way I see the colour and am obviously not an expert😅). My favourite blue vintage blouse has a softness in it and isn’t the coolest of blues, it definitely has some yellow, but still isn’t quite teal either. 💙
Winter for me! I can pull off almost anything in a cool tone, but I look especially best in shades vs tints to create contrast. Thank you for your explanations...very informative.
Brilliant video. I think I must be in the cooler side of spring because true blue looks not bad on me. By the way, absolutely love your necklace!
Thank you Maria! I love this necklace too. It’s from a British designer called Laura Wildish 💙
Bright winter with platinum white hair and olive skin. I love all blues, though there was a time when I was sick to death of it!
Thanks!
Thank you for your generosity and support Amy. It is very much appreciated! 💕
Hi Sarah, thnx for the vid! I'm a warm autumn/ dark autumn and I can wear navy blue, teal and dark purple. I avoid true, royal and sky blue. I'd like to see kingfisher blue but I haven't found it in clothes in my area. The search continues. Cheers!
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of knowledge about colors you have!
I'm pretty sure I'm an Autumn but I love love blue. It is the accent color at home and for years my favorite dress has been a royal blue one. I also love breton stripes in dark blue. However, I don't usually wear lighter tints or purples so I guess my instincts are more or less accurate.
What do you think about jeans? They are mostly made in blue fabrics and a stapple in almost all wardrobes!
I think blue denim is kind of a neutral and suits most people. I can see why the deeper blues would suit you if you are an Autumn 💙☺️
Beautifully explained, Sarah. Thanks for the visual.
My pleasure Grayson!
very interesting and informative video, thank you so much. I was analysed as True Winter but prior to getting my results I never wore blue, ever! I'm fully embracing it now. I have same colouring as you, same skin tone, same hair colour..I love copying you now 😂.
you always look amazing!
blue is difficult for me. the best is a very dark navy, almost black.
Oh lovely! 💙
I think I'm a Deep Autumn, but am somewhat neutral. Blue is a good color for me, especially bluish teals and rich blues. (I don't know why.)
Oh teal is gorgeous on Autumns as well as deep blues! 💙💙
This was a very helpful video - thank you.
You're very welcome!😊
Thank you so much. Understand it all a bit better now
So glad to hear it ☺️
True Spring here, and best is turquoise which I love to combine with cognac/caramel. But I'm wearing marrocan blue oder a lighter version of petrol as well. Even though sometimes they are a tad too dark, I love wearing them. I'm simply adding a lighter silk scarf.
I think I am an autumn (maybe) but I love myself in light blue, I have dark hair - green eyes - very tanned right now, but I go pale in winter
I’m fairly certain I’m a light spring and I absolutely love the aqua tone and the lightest blues you showed. I wear them a lot of the time.
My worst are without a doubt Navy and deep dark colours, I hate them on me.
Aquas are wonderful on Springs 💙
I am a light spring. Cornflower and periwinkle blue look good on me, but I can also wear a light sky blue.
This was really helpful. I've been struggling with a cardigan that is a light, clear, icy aqua blue. When I bought it, I thought it would be a good"icy" color described for Winters. But I noticed it's not entirely unlike light spring aquas. Still, it's way more blue than green-and icy. I think MAYBE-based on what you said here-that it's okay. I'm True Winter. It's still blue, and it's definitely icy rather than pastel. I think. Maybe. 🤣
I think it sounds like it would work ☺️💙
Thank you for your Video! I love Blue and was analysed as a winter over 25 years ago. But the true blues in medium depth were not suiting me in my 40ies and I did another color analysis. Then, I have been analysed to be close to the gap between warm and cool ( quite neutral) but ever so slightly warm. So, now I am wearing shaded petrol tones and like these very much. Could you show the direct comparison between the Blues in the sister Seasons such as Dark winter and Dark autumn or soft Summer and soft autumn - it is sometimes hard to see which is better.
Hi there! I was analysed as a Warm Spring and since then I have been wearing the warmest blue shirts available such as in aqua, turquoise, bluer shades of teal, etc. And I find that matching them with the golden brown for example in a jacket or blazer magnifies the blue making my eyes appear a brighter shade of blue than with just the shirt alone. Just a tip!
Sounds beautiful! 💙
As a warm spring, warm blues and browns and camel are a favorite combo of mine as well.
The opposite of blue on the colour wheel is orange. Now golden brown is not (yet) orange but it starts going in that direction. They are close to being complimentary colours and therefore highlight each other.
@@franziskani Correct. That's why I mentioned that I mix aqua or turquoise (blues leaning to green) with the golden brown which is s brown with an orange base. The result is awesome!
was told deep winters do not suit blue (exception very deep navy), would be helpful to get your thoughts on that
Oh I wouldn’t agree with that! I think blues are fabulous on deep winters ☺️💙
I am somewhere between Warm and Clear, my top 3 colors are: warm magenta, warmish blue, coral/peach.
Oh they sound wonderful for a warm and clear person 💙☺️
I have warm olive skin and am always stunned that I look best in colours that have both - warm and cool pigment. I can wear dark or dusty blues quite well but I shine in all kinds of purples. Aubergine is one of my best colours!
Thanks for sharing!! Yes olive skin can get away with a good balance of warm and cool!
I'm a deep winter(tending towards bright) and I don't wear blue very much. But my hair is dyed blue, like a sapphire😊. I find true blue and denim blue underwhelming on me.
Love that! Blue hair! Amazing! 🤩
Don’t know what I am. Typed as bright spring years ago and I don’t believe it. I recently bought a jumper in a blue very much like that true blue. Still haven’t worn it. Tried draping it using both video and camera and it does weird things to my colouring. Enhances my blue/grey eyes in a Dracula looking way and brings out strange patchy colouring on my face. I’m thinking if it’s just reflecting blue up my face. So either I’m softer in colouring or maybe I’m warm!
Hello. I'm a bright spring and the only blue I like, wear and look decent in is the very saturated, dark electric blue. Sort of like your necklace in the video, but even more saturated and darker. Obviously inspired by the jewel tones. Otherwise blues look really terrible on me haha. But the electric blue - greatly emphasises the brightness!
Thanks for sharing! Oh yes I can imagine that looking beautiful 💙
Great video! Looking forward to brown and beige. I’m a bit confused on how to identify warm vs cool there, and if I should avoid any of the different colors as a soft autumn ☺️
Oh good so suggestion! Watch this space!
I want that video too! And one on greys or neutrals in general would be very nice too because they can be tricky!
@@irnalonsogood one. I have a grey item of clothing that seems almost a yellow grey /greige. It doesn’t define my jawline well but does light my face up in a good way. I’d love to know if it’s a warm or cool grey ish colour.
This video is super helpful ! I have always avoided blue, even as a child... now that I know I'm a true autumn it makes all sense. But it's so hard to find the right blue when your eyes aren't educated ! Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like having a warm undertone + being a true season makes it extra hard to make blue work!
This is a good example of when to look for the chroma and value rather than the temperature ☺️💙
Thank you for the tip !!
Im a warm spring and found that i look ok in a bright cobalt blue. I addition to the typical turquise, aqua and teal. Is this a universal colour? Or am i deluding myself?
Teal or turquoise, true purple are said to be universal colors (for some analysts).
I'm quite sure I'm a winter as I look by far the best in rich jewel tones. I can wear most blues again except baby blue.
The problem is that I feel like most retailers cater to warmer skin tones as they tend to veer towards warm neutrals. Only exception is Christmas season. How do I find these rich colors (including rich vivid blues) year-round?
I haven’t found that to be the case 💙
I'm soft summer but can't wear blues that are too pure, too cool or too light. My best colours are all goldilocks colours, nothing too extreme but somewhere in the middle is "just right".
My analysis didn’t give me a season, I am soft warm and muted, I crossover into some cool colours, my palate is very confusing 😂😂
Soft warm & muted = soft autumn. Your sister season is soft summer. Hope that helps!
@@kitty_s23456 massively, thank you 🥰
I do not like blue at all. I will wear Navy. I am a soft summer w neutral skin. I did the Korean app and it came out as cool with level 2 warmth on their scale. My fav color is green
I hate blue, being made to wear it as child with warm colouring! I used to wear teal and turquoise sometimes as an deep autumn. Nowadays as I have lightened my hair with age and my eyes are grey/green rather than olive, I wear more aqua and lighter turquoise. My dear husband, blue eyes and blonde greying hair, has only ever worn soft shades of blue and grey, with some navy and white, all the years I have known him (some sort of summer?). He has a beautifully co-ordinated wardrobe that I have always been envious of, (it even looks great in the wardrobe, all hanging together). He says it is no hard task, as so much made in blue and grey for men.
It’s true, blue is a go-to for many a man’s wardrobe! It sounds like the warmer versions of blue work best for you! Nice observation ☺️💙
I'm an autumn (I think a warm autumn) and have just one top in blue ("prussian" blue) and it looks amazing! No other shades seem to work for me.
Thanks for sharing!! 💙
I’m fairly sure I’m a dark winter (definitely cool+dark), but that true blue makes me look positively grey!
Would that be because dark winter is on the softer/muted side?
@@cathwalsh9921 we are the jewel tones. High intensity Soft muted is deep summer not winter
@@DeepWinterQueen82 there isn’t a deep summer in the 12 seasons?
@@cathwalsh9921soft muted is in the summer season period winter is more high intensity colors . I am a deep winter . True blue , true red I look really really good in
@@DeepWinterQueen82 There is a subgroup in winter (in the framework that Sarah uses and also Colour Analysis STudio) that has the juwel tones (cool winter). Deep winter (or dark winter in another 12 colour framework) is dark and the colours are not lively enough to be called "juwel tones".
And summer is definitely not "deep" in any of the systems. It runs against the very definition of summer. (Or spring).
There are soft summer types that can borrow from soft autumn. Or light summer can borrow from light spring. And cool summer can venture into cool winter (which is the "softest" palette of winter. Relative to the other 2 subgroups). Any other subgroup of winter would be too dark / bland or too bright / overwhelming for a summer.
I am a cool summer that can pull off some intense winter colours. Jewel tones are a bit much but it goes in that direction. But some intense pinks, forest green ( A lively form of bluish dark green) looks very good on me. Also blueish violetts (that are very intense and deep). Coolness is my main characteristic, and the characteristical softness (muted colours) is only secondary, so I can stray from that a bit.
