Light SpringLookbook

More than black and two colors

Black stays if you love it. In Light Spring, your softer dark is Soft dark brown.

One trio, three looks

60 leads, 30 supports, 10 stays small.

Three outfits side by side on a plain warm off-white wall, as if worn by no one, each led by one color of the trio: Soft violet on the left, Soft navy in the middle and Light golden green on the right.

What to wear instead of black, for every season

Why, and how solid

Wear warm ivory near your face and soft dark brown instead of black. Keep steps between pieces small.

Why: Your coloring is light and warm, so soft steps keep your face first. Black is far deeper and pulls the eye before your face does.

How to read the cards

The color on each card is the palette color a piece sits closest to, not the exact color of the item. A picture shows that color on a plain, unbranded piece and not the product. Save picks with Add to my list, then open them all in one Amazon cart.
