What season are you? Colour analysis according to Dalle Piane Cashmere

You've probably heard of colour analysis, which has been a hot topic in fashion lately.

If you don't know what it is, we'll explain it briefly: colour analysis is the science of colours, used in the fashion world to bring out people's natural beauty.

Have you ever wondered which colour suits you best? Colour analysis is the answer to your questions.

Many people today have developed a passion for colour analysis and have revolutionised their lives and their wardrobes around these colour palettes.

How are these palettes established? As you may know, natural light changes with the seasons, and that principle is used to determine tones and shades, identifying a number of natural palettes that can be matched to a person's colouring.

These nuances, named after the seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter), bring out each type of beauty in a different and completely natural way.

It's not for us at Dalle Piane to tell you which season you belong to. To find out, you'll have to see an expert or work it out yourself with the guides available online. What we can do is suggest what would suit you, based on your season.

With that said, are you ready? Let's begin.

Spring

Spring means light shades, and above all warm ones. Strong colours look good on Spring women, thanks to their typically radiant complexion. Some examples of colours that bring out the beauty of Spring women are camel, ivory, salmon, rose gold and peach. We'd suggest avoiding shades that are too dark, such as black and navy.

Our recycled cashmere turtleneck in beige, for example, or the pink version of our cashmere blend poncho might be right for you.

Summer

Summer women have very delicate tones and shades, powdery or mother-of-pearl: basically, the quintessence of femininity.

If you belong to this season, all pastel shades will look great on you, as well as darker shades such as carmine red, plum and lavender blue. Avoid warm colours like brown, and very bright, vibrant colours.

In our shop you'll find some perfect garments for your palette, such as our 100% cashmere pashmina in pastel lilac, a perfect accessory for a lively, feminine total look.

Autumn

Is your season Autumn? Then all the dark, warm, soft shades that recall the colours of the earth are sure to suit you. A few examples? Beige, orange, gold, forest green, ivory, coral and dark blue will bring out your skin tone and your eye colour.

Avoid optical white, pastel shades, purple and fuchsia.

Here at Dalle Piane Cashmere, we offer plenty of garments that will be right for you, like this 100% cashmere oversized sweater in green or our A-line cashmere blend oversized sweater.

Winter

To finish: did you know that the most common season in Italy is Winter? If you belong to this season, we recommend that you wear:

• Very dark colours, such as black, blue, grey, purple, cherry red and emerald
• Very light colours, such as optical white, pearl grey, pink, light blue and ice

Avoid beiges, orange, yellow, forest green, orange-reds, warm browns and hazelnut.

Some pieces in our selection that flatter Winter women are the blue versions of our recycled cashmere wrap and recycled cashmere turtleneck, which not only play to the season's strengths but are also made with fibre recovered from cashmere garments and offcuts that already existed: they are 100% cashmere, at least half of it recycled, and recovering fibre uses less energy, less water and fewer chemicals than producing it new.

So now you know what colour analysis is and which colours can bring out your beauty. Of course, imagination knows no bounds, so take a look at our online shop and don't forget to take a tour of our Zalando store: you're sure to find the garment that suits your season best.
