Are you a deep winter type or a light summer type? No, we're not talking about your favourite season, but about the 12 seasonal types that will help you discover which colour tones look best on you. This will not only help you find the best garments, but also help you shop more sustainably, because less mis-selling. Saskia did a colour analysis with style and colour coach Loyce Savijn of the second-hand shop TOF Diemen and discovered which colour type she is.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Doing a colour analysis: fun and valuable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A colour analysis is not only super fun to do, but also incredibly valuable. By knowing which colour type, and therefore which colour palette looks best on you, you can make yourself shine. What's more, it helps to avoid mis-selling. That dress that looked great in the shop, but turns out not to look great at home? Chances are it's just not your colour or complexion. Or that one jumper you keep abandoning because you look a bit pale. Probably another case of \u2018not your colour\u2019. With a colour analysis you can learn which colours really suit you, which makes shopping and dressing a lot easier and more fun, and prevents a lot of mis-selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you find out which colour type you are?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I paid a visit to one of my favourite second-hand shops, TOF Diemen<\/a>, to find out which colours, or rather, shades, really suit me. Of course, I have a pretty good nose for colours that suit me and I definitely spot colour patterns in my wardrobe, but I had never done a real analysis before. There are a total of twelve seasonal types and based on the colour of your major pigment carriers (your skin, your eyes, your hair and your veins), a colour coach like Loyce can pretty quickly tell with certainty which palette belongs to you. The analysis started broadly, but soon the options were narrowed down to three colour types. And then it was finetuning with different colour cloths near my face to discover which colours really make me shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colour analysis: look at the pigment carriers <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a colour analysis, you look at three pigment carriers: your skin (and veins), eyes and hair. Together, these carriers determine whether your colour palette is warm, soft, cool or bright. This makes the difference between shades that make you look shine<\/em> and colours that make you look tired or pale. But how exactly does that work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
