r/autumns

back with irl drapes!! i made a post yesterday and the response is overwhelmingly that i am one of the soft seasons, almost split straight down the middle. i also found out that i might be olive, which would explain why so many colors just turn me yellow lol. i tried to find some clothes around my house that match the colors from those sub-seasons and added a few extra as well. i’m sorry if they are not exactly right! i also included metals at the end because i know that cool or warm undertone is the main difference. thank you all for your comments on my other post, all feedback is appreciated!

NMIP but the dreary weather outside may affect the lighting slightly

I need new glasses and was really drawn to these (I haven't been and tried them irl yet, though). I think the colours together feel like they could work for dark autumn, even though they separately aren't perfect, can't really explain it better than that. What do you think?

(They're from Specsavers if anyone wants to know ☺️)

I've struggled to determine my undertone, but upon deeper study, I'm pretty sure I'm in the olive category with a neutral undertone. That being said, would I be an Autumn? I know AI typing is inaccurate. Nonetheless, many of them typed me as Deep Autumn, though I've gotten other types as well.

Made this account purely to share this bc color analysis changed the game for me. Can you tell which colors I love wearing the most 😭

This is such a fun exercise!

Sometimes you're not sure of what colours to include in your wardrobe, and you're not including all 40 colours in your palette (unless your style is more maximalist). So you have to decide which ones make the cut.

A lot of times, your colour season comes with some stereotypes. When you think of Dark Autumn, you think of autumn (duh), opulence, sensuality and seriousness, at least I do. But my style is not that, at all.

I like the summer feeling, I love dressing like the beach, the ocean, tropical fruits, etc etc... So I got some inspiring colour palettes from Pinterest and converted them into my colours. I did this on Canva, on my phone 🤧 my fingers hurt.

This to say, it works!!!

I was able to put DA colours into a summer aesthetic and I'm so excited!! I will continue to do this to see which colours come up again and again to see which ones are worth addding to my wardrobe. I think I'm okay with having some outliers (maybe, idk).

Some people say that you should wear whatever you like, and I totally agree. This is what I like.

I like to wear colours that make *me* shine. Colours that work for *me*, not the other way around. So, I'm okay with adjusting my colours to what suits me the most, while keeping my style authentic.

I will encourage you to do at least one palette, if you know your colour season. Happy autumn!
