Colors play a big role. Dark tones can harmonize better with pale skin, while warm nuances have different effects. When it comes to clothing, hair color and jewelry, the question now arises: What color type am I? And which colors suit me particularly well? Spring, summer, autumn and winter are not just seasons - they are also color types. Each color type is particularly well highlighted by different nuances, regardless of the season. With the right tones you can put together the perfect looks and let your complexion shine. Even pale skin gets a sunkissed touch with the right color combination. So: What color type are you? We will help you determine the color type and find the most beautiful jewelry for your look.
What color type am I? Spring, summer, autumn and winter
Haven't we all stood in front of the closet and asked ourselves, "What should I wear?" Despite frequent shopping trips, there is simply nothing in our wardrobe that we really like. What could be the reason? In addition to the cut, the colors of clothing and jewelry play an important role. Many people simply shop without considering their personal color type. The right nuances make you shine in a different light.
Color type test: Which colors suit me?
At the store you just fell in love with that fabulous shirt and silver necklace. When you get home, you're no longer so convinced about it. You can avoid such bad purchases by paying attention to your color type. It will be between
- spring type,
- summer type,
- Autumn type and
- Winter type
differentiated. Each color type is distinguished by skin tone, eye color and hair color. Before we get to the seasons, let's first determine your skin tone.
Color type test – skin tone
Skin tone is not about brown or pale. Because your complexion can change with a well-deserved sunbath. However, the general skin undertone remains. There is a cool skin type and a warm skin type. You can find out which of the two you are with these tests:
The vein test: Go to a bright window where sunlight shines in. The daylight is unadulterated and offers you a good view of your veins. These are used to determine your skin undertone. Look at the backs of your hands as well as your wrists. Can you see veins under the skin? If so, what color are they? Are they more greenish or even blue to violet? Green veins indicate a warm skin tone, while bluish-purple veins indicate a cold skin tone.
The Ivory Test: Take one white and one ivory shirt from your closet. Put them on one at a time. Which one suits you better? Which shirt do you feel more comfortable in? Ivory makes particularly warm skin tones shine. White emphasizes the cool complexion.
Determine color type: What season are you?
If you have a warm skin tone, then you are either a spring or autumn type. If your complexion is more cold-toned, you are a summer or autumn type. Each season has its own colors. It's the same with you: gold or silver - what makes your complexion shine? So that you can classify yourself, we have created an overview of the four basic types:
The spring type
Do you have a warm skin tone, fair skin and light eye color? Then you are the spring type. Spring types often have freckles and blonde or reddish hair. When we think of spring, we think of colorful flowers. Daffodils, crocuses and finally the wonderfully fragrant cherry blossoms. These are exactly the bright, fresh colors you should find in your wardrobe. Your face will be particularly beautifully highlighted by jewelry in warmer shades. How about copper-colored earrings or a delicate gold necklace?
The autumn type
As in spring, warm colors emerge in autumn. You are a classic fall type if you have a golden, slightly peachy complexion. Brown eyes characterize this type, sometimes with a hint of green. The hair color is made up of brown, gold and red tones. The colors of autumn set you off perfectly: warm burgundy, autumnal yellow, beige, rust red or olive. White or black, on the other hand, make your complexion look pale and dull. When it comes to jewelry, it's best to choose warm gold, copper, brass or even natural materials such as leather or wooden beads.
The summer guy
Summer brings warmth and blue skies. Despite this, the summer type is more likely to impress with a cool skin tone and a hair color ranging from platinum blonde to ash brown. The eyes usually shine in blue or gray. Clothes in cold, fresh, slightly bluish colors look particularly beautiful on you. Turquoise, pink, mint or white will make you look fabulous. Unlike spring and autumn types, fresh precious metals suit you: delicate silver jewelry or platinum gold ideally decorate your ears and harmonize perfectly with your facial skin.
The winter type
In winter it gets cold and frosty outside. Even if not internally, the winter type is impeccably cool externally. Dark hair usually harmonizes with deep blue or chocolate brown eyes and a light complexion. Intense colors should not be missing in the wardrobe for the winter type. Azure blue, cherry red, violet as well as black and white are fabulous for you. Since this type is characterized by a light skin tone, jewelry made of cool precious metals such as silver or white gold looks particularly beautiful on you.
Can you assign yourself directly to a color type? Or are you fluctuating between summer and winter types, for example? The assignment is not always easy. It is important that you include your natural hair color in the color type test, for example. There are also mixed types. Each color type has extreme and gentle characteristics. There are three additional subcategories for each color type, which can be used to determine even more precisely which shades are optimal.
Jewelry: What color type am I?
Although many people initially think of clothing when they think of this color type, jewelry plays a crucial role. Finally, the earrings and necklace are in close proximity to the face, hair and top. The accessories should match your skin type, as should the colors of your clothing. Basically, cool precious metals perfectly highlight pale skin. Warm metals such as gold or copper emphasize a warm complexion. Have you already matched your jewelry to your color type?
Which colors suit me? Just be yourself!
Regardless of the color type, the rule always applies: wear what you like and what you feel comfortable in. Clothing and jewelry don't have to match your color type, but rather your feeling. If you're a summer person and love the colors of spring - wear them! If you feel like warm gold jewelry in summer – wear it! Anything that puts a smile on your face looks fabulous on you. Nevertheless, it can be useful to know your own color type. This way you can perhaps avoid making bad purchases and adapt your jewelry perfectly to your look. If you often stroll through the shops at a loss and can't decide between cool and warm or gold and silver, your color type can help you effectively. Which color suits me? You no longer have to ask yourself this question.
