“Sage, champagne, and soft bronze give Thandiwe an incredibly sophisticated look” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Soft Autumn is muted, warm, and low in contrast. Thandiwe Newton suits, among others, sage, champagne, soft bronze, cocoa, and dusty pink. Warm mid-tones and matte or softly lustrous materials create an elegant whole. Clear colours and stark black-and-white can feel too sharp. Choose espresso or muted olive instead when you want to wear a dark base.
Flattering
The champagne satin top has a warm mid-tone and soft sheen. It adds lustre without letting the colour take over.
Why it works
Less flattering
The black-and-white animal-print top creates sharp edges and high contrast. A smaller print in espresso and cream would feel softer.
Why it doesn’t
Cream satin and soft gold add lustre without strong contrast
Soften black with warm brown make-up and small gold jewellery
Cocoa and dusty pink create a warm combination with gentle contrast
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.
