Color type Soft summer

The eyes of the owners of mild summer are gray, gray-blue, gray-green, green and hazel. Lashes and eyebrows are dark or light gray shades.

Skin color ranges from milky to neutral beige. As a rule, a tan lays well on such skin, and looks very beneficial and beautiful in summer.

For grays and blues, a cold gamut is inherent: sea wave, turquoise, different shades of gray, gray.

Flying and flowing fabrics are suitable for soft summer. The fabric is medium in texture, delicate and not bulky. Linen, silk, cotton, chiffon are an excellent base.

For outerwear, use tweed, flannel, velvet, crepe. Rough and stiff fabric will add awkwardness and sloppiness, so you should not experiment with it.

As for the pattern and decor, in summer the elegance of openwork and lace, discreet colors, with smooth lines to match the base will do.

Just black or white clothes will not work, as they will emphasize all the imperfections of the face. Inappropriately bright brick, rusty, orange will add age and make you pale and, as a result, the skin will look painful.

Accessories will be a striking addition: jewelry, belts, bags, shoes.

• Contrast. Combining opposing colors will help you stand out and balance the look. Gray top - blue bottom. Accessories should be in the same color as the bottom. Makeup in cold tones: gray, cold pink.
• Pastel. Calm colors are suitable both for every day and for a romantic look. Makeup should also be calm. The emphasis can be on shoes or a bag.

• Naturalness. Here the kit can be matched to the color of the eyes. This option looks advantageous for owners of green, blue and hazel eyes. Makeup in this version should not match the color of the eyes, because then everything will merge. You can choose gray tones.
• Brightness. A violet dress and an emerald-colored coat are perfectly combined with each other and make their owner stand out. Accessories here should be of modest colors, so as not to tire and overload. Makeup matte shades.

For jewelry, the rule of color matching applies, as well as for clothes - cold and light - silver jewelry, white gold, noble platinum, pearl jewelry. Jewelry that combines bright blue and red accents also looks great. From stones, emerald, ruby, sapphire of mild summer shades are suitable. When combining, the main thing is not to overdo it with metallic colors and shine.

As for shoes, belts and bags, matte materials are suitable: leatherette, suede. Colors, respectively, anthracite, graphite, asphalt, blue-green. Shoes should be graceful, not weighing down the image.
