How to dress for different Skin Types: Summer Skin Type
October 17, 2013A short while ago, we wrote about different skin types and how the 4 seasons represent which type you are. We described in lustrous detail what makes the spring and winter season types of ladies’ and the types of apparel that suites them best. This time we will talk about the summer season type. Despite its name, the summer appearance is very cool. Summer gals usually have cool blue eyes or cool grey-blue eyes, sometimes hazel eyes with skin that’s always a light pink or transparent pale pink. If you’re paying attention, you should notice that, the appearance of a summer type is overall very close to a winter type. So much so that all you need to do is dye your hair black and viola, you’re a winter type. This trick was once used by Charlize Theron’s stylists and they were very successful pulling it off. So the summer type is always cool with a tiny little bit of overlap with spring colors, but only in limited cases.
You can be sure you are a summer type if you look like Marilyn Monroe, Reese Witherspoon, Natalia Vodianova or Michelle Pfeiffer. If your hair is a dark ash blonde color and your skin is very light then you are a very cool summer type… Catherine Middleton‘s classical type.
