“Elsa Hosk shows how Light Summer pastels can carry a whole look” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Why Elsa Hosk is a Light Summer
Light Summer rests on three traits: cool temperature, light value, and low contrast. Elsa Hosk makes the combination easy to see in her ash-blonde hair, blue-grey eyes, and features that sit close together in value. If your colouring follows the same pattern, build your wardrobe around powder blue, pastel pink, soft lavender, and grey. Avoid jet black, burnt orange, and saturated jewel tones; they look heavy and tend to overwhelm Light Summer's delicacy. To distinguish Light Summer from Light Spring, compare cool pink with peach: the right pink should make the skin look clearer, while peach can easily turn orange.
