Any more tips on how I can make black near my face blend better?

When you as a Soft Summer want to wear black near your face, it can sometimes feel harsh or create shadows. To achieve a more harmonious look, there are several tricks you can use.

Black near the face

• Add a scarf or necklace in your own colors. It works as a buffer between the garment and your face, making the transition softer.
• Choose garments with a more open neckline, such as a V-neck or off-shoulder, so more of your natural skin tone shows and balances the dark fabric.
• Adjust makeup and hair color to your Soft Summer palette. When makeup and hair are in tune with the palette, your face takes more space even against a darker garment.
• Try softer versions of black. A washed-out black or graphite gray doesn’t feel as harsh but still gives the same timeless feel.

White garments already in your wardrobe

Pure white can feel somewhat strong for a Soft Summer, but you don’t need to get rid of your T-shirts.

• Combine them with a cardigan, blazer, or jacket in a cooler and softer tone.
• Add color near your face with earrings or makeup to balance the overall look.
• If you want, you can dye the T-shirt in a more flattering shade from your color palette – a creative and sustainable way to extend its use.

With these tips, you can continue using both black and white in a way that harmonizes with your personal color analysis and enhances your natural radiance.
