Why Pastel Summer?

Pastel Summer is the lightest and softest of the Summer sub-seasons. Your coloring has a gentle, cool quality with low contrast between hair, skin, and eyes. You look most beautiful in soft, muted pastels: lavender, powder blue, rose quartz, muted sage, and dusty pink. These colors echo the gentle, watercolor-like quality of your natural coloring. High contrast and saturated colors feel jarring against your softness.

  • The lightest, most delicate coloring in the Summer family
  • Low contrast between hair, skin, and eyes with a soft, muted quality
  • Skin has cool, pink or neutral undertones with a translucent quality
  • Hair is often ash blonde, light mousy brown, or soft grey
  • Eyes are soft blue, grey, or cool green with a gentle, muted intensity

Styling Pastel Summer Leggings

2

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Pastel Summer?+

Pastel Summer is the lightest sub-season within the Summer color family. Pastel Summers have soft, cool coloring with low contrast and look best in gentle, muted pastels like lavender, powder blue, and rose quartz. Their natural coloring has an ethereal, watercolor-like quality.

How is Pastel Summer different from Pastel Spring?+

Both favor light, soft colors, but the undertone differs. Pastel Summer colors are cool and muted with a grey or blue base, while Pastel Spring colors are warm and clear with a golden glow. A Pastel Summer pink is dusty rose; a Pastel Spring pink is peach-toned. If silver flatters you more than gold, you are likely Pastel Summer.

Can Pastel Summers wear dark colors?+

Heavy, dark colors like black and deep navy tend to overwhelm Pastel Summer soft coloring. Lighter alternatives like French navy, soft charcoal, and muted plum work better when you need darker pieces. Keep dark colors as small accents rather than the dominant part of an outfit.
