How will you recognize the colors that should be part of the Summer type color palette? Let me explain briefly.
Summer type color palette
The color palette of Summer types can be described as a collection of light and muted colors. (muted= any color with grey added to it). Think about sun filled beaches and notice the different tones of blue in the sky and the sea, the wide variety of beige tints of the sand and the sea shells.
The overall coloring of a Summer type is the most delicate and understated of all seasons. Since the skin complexion of Summer types has a cool undertone, you need cool blue-based tones to enhance your skin complexion. Besides cool, summer colors are delicate, soft and light.

I created a collage for each color. Use these collages as an inspiration and start incorporating these colors in your summer outfits.

For the casual look, it is pretty easy, use your denims as a base piece and combine with charcoal, soft white or medium grey. Or try denim on denim, looks fab, too.
If you don’t like to use denim as the main color of your look, use Niagara blue and turn the casual look into a chic look. This summer you may see many bridesmaid’s dresses in this soft blue color, since it is a very elegant color.
Summer type men can definitely pull off a Niagara blue outfit. I love this color for men!

Not just a color for women. Great choice for shirts and sweaters this summer! I even love the socks.
