Color Type Cold Summer

Regal and at the same time gentle. Proud and at the same time friendly. Restrained, majestic and spectacular. Their beauty does not scream to the whole world, but confidently declares itself. In their appearance - the freshness of summer rain, the transparency of morning dew, the heady smell of clover and honey. All this can be safely said about women, representatives of the Cold Summer color type.

All people on our planet are conditionally divided into four main color types. Depending on how the color of hair, eyes and skin is combined in their image, as well as on the contrast of these three components in relation to each other. Color types bear “seasonal” names: “Winter”, “Spring”, “Summer” and “Autumn”. Each color type is divided into three subcategories.

“Summer” girls are “Clean and Bright Summer”, “Cold, Real Summer” or “Soft Summer”. Today we’ll talk about the subtype “Real, Cold Summer” - the coldest of all “summer” images.

Cold Summer is one of the most common color types in our latitudes. Women with this appearance are also found in the north, but nevertheless, most of them are concentrated in regions with a temperate climate.

“Cold Summer”, “Real Summer”, “Contrast Summer” - all these are several names of one particular type of appearance. In short, these are light, muffled and cold shades of the image. There are no sharp contrasts, dark saturated tones in this subtype. And there is no hint of warmth, as in women of the “winter” color type.

“Real summer” beauties can have blue, blue, gray, dark gray, gray-green or gray-blue eyes. They are quite expressive, although not too contrasting. Such eyes are characteristic of Slavic appearance.

The hair color palette of the representatives of the Cold Summer subtype is very rich: light blond, light brown, dark blond. Sometimes a slight implicit “ashy” or a slight hint of a red tint is visible in the color of the hair. The general tone of hair color in brunettes and brown-haired women is cold. There are no blondes among this subtype.

The shade of the skin at "Real Summer" may be different. Options: beige with a slope in pink (“blood with milk”), beige with a shade of gray, milky or classic neutral beige, ivory and dark beige (dark brown complexion).

The lips are light pink or pale, as a rule, well-defined, on a not too contrasting face - they stand out distinctly, and therefore noticeable.

Sometimes “Cold Summer” is confused with “Winter”. Distinctive features are very easy to remember - “Zim” does not have light brown hair and beige skin, and “Summer” does not have such a pronounced contrast as “Winter”. Although both the one and the other type of appearance are cold.

You need to know the color type and subtype in order to properly compose your wardrobe, select accessories and form an approach to makeup. The faithfully emphasized advantages of the “Cold Summer” and precisely placed accents will refresh the face, give the appearance of charm and charm.

The “coolness” in the image is excellently emphasized in the soft dark red (“wine” shade ”), noble gray with a charcoal hue, muted blue,“ emerald ”. Dark violet, dark aquamarine - these are all wonderful colors for True Summer. There is only one condition - all dark colors should be kept exclusively in cold tones.

Among the bright colors, the representatives of this subtype should pay attention to the “berry” shades - cherry, raspberry, blackberry color. Not bad “Real Summer” will look in turquoise and gray, cold lilac, amethyst and dark purple. Again all bright colors should be cool.

Of light colors, preference is for cold blue and light gray shades, lemon and lavender, you can even pink, but without warm notes in the palette.

It is not difficult to create a basic wardrobe for a woman of the Cold Summer subtype. She has a fairly large selection of acceptable shades that she can combine in her clothes.

For everyday wear, as well as in a business style, this type of woman should rely on her “crown” dark and cold colors. This should be considered when choosing skirts, trousers, suits, as well as coats, jackets, windcheaters, raincoats and even handbags.

Bright “berry”, bluish and turquoise shades are a guideline for choosing evening dresses, light summer dresses. Light cold shades (“lavender”, “lemon”, blue and light gray, as well as ivory) are the main colors for choosing shirts, blouses, summer suits (including trousers), dresses.

These are the basic requirements for a Cold Summer wardrobe. Further - it all depends on the imagination.

Dark "cold" things are better to combine in one ensemble with light "cold". A bright "cold" is better to wear separately. That is, a dark gray coal business suit for a woman of this color type means a duet with a shirt or blouse in a light color, for example, lemon.

A rather bright “blackberry” or cold “raspberry” is best embodied in an evening dress, with which a minimum of dark will be combined - only shoes and a handbag. Light colors should be closer to the face (blouses, shirts, jackets), dark - “shift” below. Bright - monochrome.

Things white and black, although they are classics of style, do not fit the “Cold Summer”. They will look too dull in them, and natural beauty will not be able to express itself.

Instead of white, it is advisable to use ivory, milky or beige, but with a cold shade. Instead of black - dark brown bitter chocolate or dark gray, with a touch of steel or with a touch of wet asphalt.

Floral prints, frills and ruffles "Cold Summer" is not worth getting carried away. Their style is rigor and simplicity, classic cut, intelligence in every detail. Allowing “flying” fabrics is possible only in summer dresses, which should be seasoned and not “dazzle”.

The brightness of the muffled overall tone of the appearance of such ladies can be given with the help of accessories. “Real Summer” can let itself down only one contrasting detail in the image. It can be a bright and shiny clutch (surely sustained in cold shades) or a medium-sized jewelry. Decorations for this subtype are strict and elegant, with topazes, lapis lazuli, amethysts. The best metals for Real Summer are silver and white gold.

If a girl of Cold Summer appearance uses warm colors in makeup, she will look tired and exhausted. Makeup should emphasize the natural "coldness." Therefore, the main principle in the selection of cosmetics is cold and non-contrast shades.

Tone and powder - ivory, cool pink, the tone should have a light texture. If the skin is naturally dark, you should give preference to powder and tone with a cold olive shade.

Eyeliner should not be black. Ideal shades are graphite, dark brown, dark purple, dark blue, steel. It is better to opt for a mechanical pencil, leaving a liquid eyeliner for contrasting "Winters" and bright representatives of the "Autumn".

Whenever possible, the color of the carcass should match the color of the eyeliner.

Blush can be pink, but not bright and not warm, peachy. They should not be applied too much - the emphasized contrasts will not make the face of a woman - “Cold Summer” expressive. They should be well shaded. Avoid red, copper and brick shades of blush. They are for “Real Summer” too warm and screaming.

Lipstick - a "cold" palette: raspberry, cherry, fuchsia, and all the wine shades.

Lip pencil choose exactly one tone darker than lipstick.

One of the brightest representatives of the "Cold Summer" - the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, the American actress Katie Holmes, the American country-style singer Miranda Lambert, the British actress Emily Blunt.

In compliance with all the canons, Kate Middleton forms her wardrobe. If the suit is cold tones with a light top. If the dress is plain and bright. Pinstriped shirts and blouses and small peas complement the look of the Cold Summer woman.

An interesting approach to the evening along with cool pinks by Emily Blunt. Strictly observing the rule of all "cold summer" ladies - "bright-monochrome", she complemented the dress with a cloak in cold tones of an adjacent color scheme.

Cold Summer, even in jeans and a baggy shirt, will look stylish if it can withstand the coldness rule. Jeans should not be black and deep blue. And the top should always be brighter.

Smooth and glossy fabrics - quite to face the "Cold Summer". Especially if they are designed in the authorized colors. Clothes from such materials should not be supplemented with a large number of jewelry.

When choosing outerwear, it is better to give preference to a coat and raincoats. Jackets are also good, but the classic look is more suitable for the noble image of a woman - “Cold Summer”. Do not forget about the bright details in the image. It can be a hat, handbag or a wide leather belt with a buckle.
