THE AUTUMN COLOR TYPE: A STYLE GUIDE

Here at Sapsana, we’re big believers in color analysis – especially when it comes to the wonders of seasonal color types. Knowing your personal color type can help you curate your entire look and style based on a palette that suits your individual complexion.

Your color type encompasses many different elements, from your hair to the color of your eyes. Once you determine your color type, you can then integrate your color palette into your individual style concept. From jewelry to clothing, knowing your color type can help you find the styles that suit you – and your features – best.

Are you ready to discover your color palette?

Overall, the seasonal color type classification is very simple. Determining what seasonal color type you fall into depends on two clear variables

The four seasons represent four variations of these factors. The cool undertone seasons are winter (cool undertone, dark hair, dark eyes, high contrast) and summer (cool undertone, light hair, light eyes) whilst the warm undertone seasons are spring (warm undertone, light hair, light eyes) and autumn color type (warm undertone, dark hair, dark eyes).

In keeping with the season, we’re going to delve deeper into the autumn color type:

What colors flatter the autumn color type most? What rules should you follow to develop a wardrobe that is tailored to your individual coloring? Follow our advice and you’ll have a perfectly curated style for your autumn color type in no time.

As an autumn color type, choosing the right colors will enhance your warm golden undertones and bring your natural beauty to life. Your most flattering colors are warm and muted, in line with the deep golden colors of the fall foliage.

Stick to golds and oranges, deep greens, rusts, and chocolates. Avoid anything too stark, instead opting for ivory or cream over bright whites. Steer clear of anything too vibrant such as neon, and anything too toned-down like pastel pink or ice blue. These colors are too harsh, and will clash with your natural warmth and richness.

When it comes to styling an autumn color type, stick to color combinations that complement each other rather than contrast. Your style should strive to be natural and classic, incorporating different textures and luxurious touches.

Experiment with lengths and separates, pairing turtlenecks with skirts, and choose flowing silk dresses in your preferred colors such as olive or rust. Avoid anything too dark or heavy, instead opting for muted, warm tones. Be inspired by luxury collections, and keep a close eye on celebrity autumns, such as Julia Roberts.

As we’ve seen, your seasonal color palette is all about finding what works best for your features, including your complexion, hair, and eye color. It’s important to pay close attention to the items closest to these areas. Introducing jewelry for the autumn color type!

Natural stones flatter the autumn color type best, and the Baltic amber pieces from Sapsana are an obvious choice. Amber will bring out the golden tones in your hair, making your complexion truly shine.

Opt for matching necklace and drop earring sets that will frame your features, and don’t be afraid to mix different ambers. Cherry, cognac, and green amber will make an autumn color type glow from within.

For a more minimalist approach, choose multi-layered necklaces with stones from your color palette in warm greens and golden yellows. Again, don’t be afraid to mix your colors here. Just be sure to choose complementing color combinations that will emphasize your warm tones.

Complete your look with matching stud earrings. For a bolder approach, statement earrings incorporating your color palette of rusts and deep greens also work well. Pull back your hair into a tousled updo and your features will dazzle.

As an autumn, choosing the right jewelry will enhance and intensify the warm golden undertones of your complexion and bring your coloring to life.

When it comes to your color type, your hair and makeup should also be carefully considered. Keep things as natural as possible, and bear in mind that your color palette determines what is best for your natural features.

For the autumn color type, ensure your make up basics (foundation, concealer, blush) complement your skin’s naturally warm undertone. As an autumn, you come to life in warm and golden tones, so your makeup should reflect that, avoiding cool and pastel colors, rather sticking to golden tones, browns, and greens.

When it comes to your hair, you can accentuate your natural color with warm reds, copper, and chestnut shades. Whilst a very subtle golden blonde may work, autumns should avoid anything too drastic, such as ash blonde or a dark black hue.

Dressing for your seasonal color type has many advantages, including maintaining a vibrant and healthy appearance, and choosing styles that work best for your individual features. Add the perfect pieces to your autumn color type collection today with Sapsana.
