Wearing Your Colors

A season is only useful when it changes what you buy. Start by picking three colors from your palette that you genuinely love, build your core wardrobe around them, then add a few accent shades for variety.

When shopping, carry a small swatch card of those colors and hold candidates near your face in daylight before paying. Keep your seasonal shades where they count most: tops and scarves sit nearest your face and shift how you look the most, while pants and shoes can wander freely.
