How to tell which you are
- 1
Try a crisp white tee next to a warm ivory one. Crisp white looking clean (not harsh) points to Deep Winter.
- 2
Compare black with espresso brown near your face. If black makes you look sharper rather than tired, lean Deep Winter.
- 3
Gold vs silver: bronze and copper glowing on you suggests Deep Autumn.
Deep teal, aubergine, burgundy and dark olive work for both, so build around those while you test.
