“Sage, champagne, and soft bronze give Thandiwe an incredibly sophisticated look” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst

Why Thandiwe Newton is a Soft Autumn

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.

The champagne satin top has a warm mid-tone and soft sheen. It adds lustre without letting the colour take over.

Why it works

  • Tonal

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

Soft Autumn vs
Soft Summer

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.
