- Pairings
- Your natural contrast is gentle. Pair light colors of similar intensity, or one clear color with a light neutral. Keep your darkest shades (light navy, golden brown) as small touches, away from your face.
- Patterns
- Small to medium, airy, cheerful prints: small florals, polka dots, fine stripes, light gingham. Prefer soft contrast over graphic black-and-white prints.
- Fabrics
- Light, luminous fabrics: cotton, fine linen, silk, chiffon, fine knits. A soft sheen suits you, like satin or mother-of-pearl. Skip heavy, rough or very matte fabrics.
- Glasses
- Pick light, warm frames: blonde tortoiseshell, honey, champagne, peach or light gold. Glossy or translucent finishes suit you. Heavy black frames overpower your colors.
