“As Carrie Bradshaw, SJP showed that the Soft Summer colours can be fashionable and far from boring” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Soft Summer combines cool undertones with muted colour and low contrast. Sarah Jessica Parker’s natural hair colour and soft green-blue eyes share that gentle blend. Dusty blue, smoky lilac, soft pink, greyed sage, and muted raspberry dress Soft Summer perfectly. Warm camel, golden greige, and yellow gold can make the skin look more yellow. To separate Soft Summer from clearer Light Summer, compare a dusty pastel with a clean one: if the dusty shade looks more balanced, softness is your guide.
Flattering
The muted slate-blue dress and delicate silver jewellery keep the palette cool and soft, so her face stays in focus.
Why it works
Less flattering
Camel, olive, and yellow-green gather too much warmth near the face, making the skin look yellower and less even.
Why it doesn’t
The soft texture combined with grey feels flattering and gentle.
Muted mid-blue keeps the focus on the face instead of taking over.
Cool mauve, old rose, or dusty pink is more flattering than sharp pinks.
It's easy to confuse Soft Autumn and Soft Summer because of their soft, sophisticated look. Both are muted and have low contrast. But while Soft Autumn is warm, Soft Summer is cool. Soft Summer's color palette holds more mild, cool tones with a high share of gray, while Soft Autumn's colors carry more golden pigment.
