“As Miranda in Sex and the City, Cynthia often wore autumn colours, but she shines most in clearer spring tones” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
True Spring colours are warm, clear and lively. Cynthia Nixon suits, among others, azure, tomato red, sun yellow, coral and Barbie pink. Cool, dull colours such as grey and ashy hair tones can make her look pale, while clear, warm colours give her a glow. Choose golden tones in the hair and a clear colour near the face instead. Cream and leather brown are good base colours.
Flattering
The clear azure top gives her face a glow and makes her eyes shine, and the warm, clear tone matches the season.
Why it works
Less flattering
The grey check shirt and ash-grey hair make her face look pale and flat. Golden hair and a clear, warm colour would have brought back her glow.
Why it doesn’t
Clear turquoise-green silk with copper-red hair is an elegant evening choice for True Spring
Sun yellow with warm white jeans is an easy, happy summer look
Brown eyeliner instead of black and a coral lip keep True Spring fresh
It's easy to confuse True Autumn and True Spring because both have warm colors. Both have a warm undertone and medium contrast between their features. The difference is that True Autumn is deep and rich, while True Spring is clear and light. True Spring's colors feature more fresh, sunny tones, while True Autumn's carry more copper and terracotta pigment.
