Light Summer Style Guide

Quick answer: Light Summers have a cool light undertone with low contrast and soft, delicate coloring. Your power colors are lavender, powder blue, dusty pink, and soft periwinkle. Silver and rose gold jewelry complement your cool lightness, and you should avoid bold warm tones like orange, deep gold, and saddle brown. Celebrity Light Summers include Elle Fanning, Naomi Watts, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

If you’ve discovered that you’re a Light Summer, you have one of the most ethereal and graceful palettes in color analysis. Think pastel watercolors, morning mist, and soft cool tones — your beauty is delicate, luminous, and quietly captivating.
