How to dress your season
Your palette sits between warm and cool with a warm lean. Ivory and warm neutrals work better than stark white; check each piece against your face. Your colouring has a natural softness. Toned-down, blended colours harmonise with your overall look. High-saturation, very vivid colours can look harsh — lean into the softness. Your colouring has balanced depth. The full mid-range works for you — the extremes (very pale or very dark) matter less than getting the undertone right.
Common questions
How do I know if I'm a Soft Autumn?
Soft Autumn colouring typically has medium overall depth — neither distinctly light nor dark, neutral undertones with a warm lean, and a natural softness — features that blend together rather than contrast sharply. The key is looking at skin, hair and eyes together as a whole. If you're unsure, the Draped quiz maps you to one of the 12 seasons in under two minutes.
