I want to try myself as a stylist, so today I’ll try to tell you how I helped my mother determine the autumn color type, and also find out which scheme is closer to her, choose a wardrobe in new shades and cosmetics. It was quite an interesting experience, which will be useful for girls of the “autumn” type. By the way, if you belong to a different color type, you can simply adopt my approach, but taking into account your own shades.

What is Autumn like?

I guessed for a long time that my mother’s appearance had an autumn color type - she looks very organic in the park at the end of September, all this crimson mixed with gold makes her look somehow magical. At the same time, I looked at girls with a clearly autumn color type, and realized that completely different shades suited them.

Fortunately, I came across the theory of 12 appearance types according to Munsell in time, and I learned the correct name for this type - the warm autumn color type.

It is also often called true autumn. These are women whose appearance is dominated by warm shades (as much as possible), but there are simply no cold ones. Eyes can be hazel and brown, warm green or even dark grey. Hair - all shades of red, as well as chestnut and dark brown. By the way, light brown color in our country is most often perceived as boring, but in fact it is a very rich shade that can look different depending on the lighting.

Another interesting variety of autumn appearance is the soft autumn color type. This is an appearance with a low level of contrast, all shades are closely related and similar in lightness.

Deep autumn is also known - dark-eyed and dark-haired girls with a warm undertone in their hair, eyes and complexion.

Naturally, if you make significant adjustments to your appearance - for example, according to your color type you should be proud of hazel eyes, and you have always wanted to wear colored lenses - then you need to take into account your appearance along with all the adjustments. Autumn color type is simple, and requires practically one thing - the exclusion of dull and pale shades in a cold range.

By the way, the deep autumn color type can be transformed into a warm winter if desired.

Perfect colors

What colors are best suited for the autumn color type? Absolutely all warm shades. Naturally, you shouldn’t go to extremes - you should have a palette for the autumn color type on hand, but don’t think that you will use it all. I think this is how you should do it:

• First, choose three or four primary colors around which we will build a color scheme. It is important to understand that each color can have variations with different lightness and saturation.
• Choose additional shades, no more than six.
• Make a large diagram with different lightness, saturation and warmth of shades.

Of course, you can use ready-made palettes - many girls don’t want to bother with every shade, and simply use the work of professional stylists. However, a large diagram will help you choose not only the colors in your clothes, but also your hair color or lipstick number.

Look at the diagrams - for example, these shades are recommended for the autumn photo color type.

Wardrobe

What kind of clothes can be for the autumn color type? Many celebrities recommend creating a capsule wardrobe, and I must admit, I absolutely agree with them - a capsule helps to maintain order in the wardrobe, and there are also examples of wardrobes for the autumn color type on the Internet, you can simply buy or order similar things on the Internet, and not even think about it.

However, I like to think, so I tried to choose colors for my mother’s clothes using the example of an assignment from a stylist school that I found on the Internet. So, the main rule of a capsule wardrobe is that all items must be combined with each other.

If you're serious about putting together a full capsule, then pay attention to large guides, like those that advise how you can create a capsule of 37 wardrobe items. However, if you just want to get rid of the headache about your appearance, then a capsule of 10-16 items will be enough. From this you can collect about 20-27 sets of clothes, which will definitely be enough for you for all the occasions that should happen in the coming months.

By the way, there is another interesting way to organize your wardrobe - create capsules for different occasions. It could be:

• business capsule for office dress code and work;
• everyday capsule for everyday life;
• capsule for relaxation and entertainment;
• capsule for sports and yoga.

Each capsule should contain only those things that combine well. Unfortunately, dresses are not always included in this theory, but I would recommend all girls to have a couple of simple dresses in their wardrobe that go well with various blouses, scarves, vests, cardigans and jackets. Dresses help us remain feminine in any situation, so don't deny yourself.

Assembling the capsule usually starts from the bottom. It can be:

• trousers, shorts and breeches;
• skirts;
• jeans and leggings

You won't be wearing these items at the same time, so these are the ones you should put the most effort into - each item should have an interesting shade, and it should also have good characteristics. It is also worth taking into account the descriptions of the fabric - you should not wear a bottom made of thick, bouclé wool fabric at the same time, and at the same time put on the thinnest lace blouse.

Color schemes will come in handy (see photo above for color combinations) - in no case should you take all things of the same color or shade. For example, a rich dark chocolate color suits the dark autumn color type very well, but you shouldn’t dress in it from head to toe. The basic equipment of a wardrobe should contain equal amounts of dark and light items. For example, these could be:

• brown and light beige jeans;
• several T-shirts with and without prints that flatter your figure;
• light and dark cardigan - one of them should be long and flowing, and the other short and fitted;
• classic and sports jackets;
• skirts and dresses.

Be sure to choose accessories that will go well with the colors of your wardrobe.

It is also worth considering that the capsule can be assembled all in one style or reflect your own taste preferences. In my opinion, it's worth including a few trendy items to diversify your capsule collection. Try buying:

• heavy boots with high lacing;
• leather jacket or bomber jacket - you can choose classic black or modern and bright;
• several fashion accessories with popular prints.

Cosmetics

In everyday life, the autumn color type of appearance does not require any special makeup, but it may even be contraindicated for the dark autumn color type - too dark shades make you look older, and not very competent makeup can add years.

You can choose cosmetics on a whim - with each new shade you will unmistakably determine whether this color suits you or not.

Many girls whose appearance color type is autumn sometimes want. Naturally, with the help of cosmetics you can even make them bright green (if that’s what you want), or, on the contrary, return them to some hazel tint (in case you don’t like green eyes).

What do you need from decorative cosmetics to do makeup for the autumn color type:

• foundation and concealer;
• palette of shadows with a stretch from light to dark. It is best to choose shadows without flicker.
• two or three lipsticks should be in your cosmetic bag, and it’s even better if you sometimes use gloss (colored or transparent);
• Be sure to use eyeliner - either liquid, or in a pencil or felt-tip pen.
• choose a good mascara - perhaps in the same warm colors (brown, chocolate).

We do simple everyday makeup for the autumn color type:

• make several swatches on your hand to determine the shades you will use;
• use pencils to highlight your eye color.
• The autumn color type of appearance can easily do without foundation, but every woman knows that there is nothing better than perfect skin;
• apply shadows - light beige and chocolate as indicated in the diagram;
• shade your eyelashes with mascara and apply lipstick.

And finally - a little more inspiration in photographs and pictures - study your own appearance, look for your color type and select absolutely all clothes and cosmetics in accordance with the recommendations of the color test.

By the way, I also advise you to create a board on some site with pictures or just a folder on your computer where you can save your favorite looks, wardrobe items or other people’s successful looks - when a person constantly looks at beautiful color combinations, his mood not only improves , but it also changes your thinking, and it also helps you work better with your own style!

This article is a continuation of the topic about the 12-season color type system. To take an online test and find out your color type, as well as read about the 12-season system, you can look at the introductory article -.
We recently took a closer look at light colors. Today, using the same scheme, we will get acquainted with the opposite of light dark colors. It is divided into two color types - dark winter, which is of the cold type, and dark autumn, which refers to warm.

Dark color

What you need to know about dark colors:
- these are deep and rich colors;
— the coloring is dominated by dark tones;
— the colors in the palette contain black, which is why they look so thick and heavy;
- with the help of dark colors you can convey many shades of mood - from confident dignity and strength to gloomy melancholy.

Now we will look at dark winter and dark autumn. Let's see photographs of people of this type of appearance. Let's analyze the palette into groups - light and dark colors, medium-saturated colors and bright colors. Then we will learn how to combine these colors with each other, and find out the best combinations for each color type. A picture will also be attached for associative connection with the color type. At the end of this article we will compare both types and see how they differ. So let's get started!

Dark winter

Other names:
deep winter, dark winter, deep winter

Color characteristics:
leading - dark, additional - cold

Associations:
deep, cold, mysterious, closed

El Greco "View of Toledo"

The appearance of people in dark winter is dominated by dark and cold tones. As a rule, there is a contrast in the colors of the appearance that needs to be repeated in clothing. Hair color is dark. Cool skin tone. Eye color is most often dark brown. You can find green eye color, but there will still be a cold tone.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it does not matter whether the color type matches the description or not. And, of course, you don’t need to rely only on photographs. Be sure to check this by applying different fabrics, scarves, scarves to your face. You need to watch how your complexion changes into different colors, when it starts to fade and when it starts to shine. And thus, you can find your own color scheme. All color types have their exceptions. For example, you can be blonde with blue eyes and turn out to be a winter type. Therefore, everything needs to be checked in practice.

Photos of people whose color type is dark winter:

Now let's look at the palette for dark winter.

All colors can be divided into 4 groups:
- light;
- dark;
— colors of medium saturation;
- bright.

Light colors
Light colors are suitable for underwear, blouses, summer and evening wear. They are good to use in combination with dark colors, then you get a contrast in lightness.

Dark colors
Dark colors work well for casual and business wear, as well as accessories. For this color type there is a large selection of dark, rich shades. These are “native” colors for dark colors. If you pay attention, there is black in the palette. People with the dark winter color type do not need to try to “pacify” and “tame” it, because it suits them.

Medium colors
Suitable for basic clothing. On their own, they are not the best for dark winter, but they combine well with other colors and serve as a tie for a set.

Bright colors
Bright colors are used as accents, in accessories, and evening wear. Colors from this group look very good in sportswear.

Now, using a palette for dark winter, let's try to combine things. Polyvore (website www.polyvore.com) is suitable for experiments. There you can combine different things, there is a search by color, you can find collages with combinations that other people have made.
To learn how to combine colors well, I advise you to read an interesting article on the website - ““.
The overall color effect for dark winter should be medium-dark to dark. The contrast in lightness also looks good.

Using examples of the collage you can see combinations for dark winter and summer. In the first example, the use of a dark color closer to the face, a light gray skirt and shoes contrast in lightness with a dark blouse. In the second example, the dark color of the dress from the palette is combined with a black bag and shoes. In the third example, the dark color of the blouse contrasts in lightness with the trousers and shoes. The fourth example also shows a contrast in lightness, a light blouse with dark trim and dark shorts and shoes. The use of dark colors and light contrast are the main principles of color combinations for dark winter.

Using the examples of this collage you can see the principles of color combinations for dark winter for the autumn-winter period.
There is no spring variegation or smooth summer flow from color to color, but there is color rigor. The contrast in lightness that I mentioned above can be seen in all examples. For example, this is a black jacket with a white collar in the first example, and light trousers and a dark coat in the second. There is a contrast in color, but it looks very restrained. In the third example, the blue color of the bag contrasts with the burgundy jacket. Of course, any combination of dark colors is good for a dark winter. But I think there will be no problems with this. Everything is simple here.

Dark autumn

Other names:
deep autumn, dark autumn, deep autumn

Color characteristics:
leading - dark, additional - warm

Associations:
deep, warm, warming, earthy, generous

J. Latour “Mary Magdalene”

In the appearance of people in dark autumn, dark and warm tones predominate. The hair is dark. Reddish and chestnut shades are more common. Eye color can be any. Brown, green, blue-green, gray-green. The skin tone must be warm.

Photos of people whose color type is dark autumn:

Let's look at the palette for dark autumn. It is also broken down into light, dark, medium and bright colors.

Light colors
Light colors are suitable for underwear, blouses, summer and evening wear. Light colors for dark winter were icy, while dark autumn colors were warm.

Dark colors
Dark colors are good for coats, suits, skirts, trousers, jackets, shoes, belts, bags. They create a feeling of stability, seriousness and restraint. “Native” colors for dark autumn.

Medium colors
Neutral colors are medium-dark colors in the palette; they are calm, not annoying, and easy to combine with other colors.

Bright colors
Bright colors are used in accessories, evening wear, and sportswear. They always attract attention with their richness of color. They are often used as color accents that can liven up an outfit.

In addition to light, dark, medium and bright colors, there are also appearance colors. They look natural.

Now we will combine colors using a palette. The overall color effect for dark fall should be medium-dark to dark. If contrasts and color rigor are good for dark winter, then monochrome and analog combinations are good for dark autumn. Contrasting options will be richer in color than for dark winter.

Using examples of the collage, you can see color combinations for dark autumn and summer. In the first example, dark autumn can afford to be brighter than dark winter, so the contrast of turquoise and orange is used here. On the second, a bright green dress harmoniously combines with brown shoes, and a gold bracelet successfully emphasizes the temperature of dark autumn. On the third, a warm red top goes with a yellow bag and brown shorts and shoes. In the fourth example, a light cream blouse and beige shoes are matched to a warm purple skirt. The use of warm and dark colors and contrast in lightness are the basic principles of color combinations for dark autumn.

In the collage examples you can see examples of color combinations for dark autumn for the autumn-winter period. In the first example, a green jacket contrasts with an orange bag. The second example shows a contrasting red-green checkered pattern. The third example shows an analog combination of beige and brown, but at the same time, there is also contrast here - the beige and brown color scheme contrasts with blue jeans. In the fourth example there is a contrast in lightness; there is a dark pattern on the light background of the jumper.

Differences between dark winter and dark autumn
If you are in doubt between these color types, then you need to conduct color tests with fabric. You need to see what colors your skin tone will react to. Some colors make the face light up and shine, while others make it dim. Dark and cool colors are suitable for a dark winter. For dark autumn - dark and warm.
There are also differences in color combinations. For a dark winter, combinations that are serious, restrained, and without variegation are suitable. This color type belongs to winter, so you need to use contrast in lightness.
Richer color combinations are suitable for dark autumn. Monochrome and analog combinations look good here. This is because autumn color types have all their colors toned down a bit with grey, so they aren't as dramatic as the dark winter colors. But contrasting combinations are also good for dark autumn, and they can be richer in color.
I hope you felt the strength and, at the same time, restraint of the dark winter and the generosity and warmth of the dark autumn.

Color type "Autumn"

The appearance of women with the autumn type combines warm and dark tones. As a rule, an autumn girl has red hair or her eyes can be anything. The main difference between people with autumn colors is their skin tone.

There are three color types of autumn: soft, warm (natural), dark (deep) autumn.

This is precisely the autumn that poets, artists, and great thinkers glorify in their works. Girls with warm autumn colors, as a rule, have character traits such as passion, unbridledness, and love of freedom. “Warm Autumn” is a passionate, warm image, rich in an abundance of bright colors:

1. with a beige tint, often with freckles.
2. Brown or green, there are mixed brown-green eyes.

Color type “Dark Autumn”

Girls with this color type are also characterized by warm shades, but their appearance becomes more noble due to the absence of bright colors in the image. This is the autumn that still pleases with warm days and colors, but already reminds us of the approaching cold winds. The “Dark Autumn” color type is nobility, restraint, sophistication.

Celebrities who fit the “Dark (Deep) Autumn” color type are Keira Knightley, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman.

The “Dark Autumn” color type requires a special attitude and approach to appearance. Let's consider the main criteria that will help you choose the ideal wardrobe for this type of woman.

Rules for choosing clothes for the “Dark Autumn” color type

Fashion stylists advise girls with this color type to give preference to deep shades in clothes: warm red-brown tones, dark blue, olive or dark green. It is better if the colors are combined, so the image will be more saturated and not boring.

New fashion trends do not prohibit “Dark Autumn” from using bright and light colors in the wardrobe, the main thing is that they are not saturated and do not have cold, white and blue colors. Pastel colors are best - beige, cream, ivory.

The clothing style of autumn girls should be free - it can be safari, country, street, folk style. Women who fit the “Dark Autumn” color type should have a wardrobe consisting mainly of warm, dense fabrics such as corduroy, velvet, and suede.

It is better to complement the image of an autumn girl with voluminous accessories: large bags made of suede and genuine leather, large earrings and rings, beads made of leather, ivory, bronze, copper and dark gold. It is better to choose topaz, amber, and onyx from stones.

Women who fit the “Dark Autumn” color type should have expressive clothing. Gray and cold shades can make the image of a representative of the autumn type boring - dark autumn does not tolerate pallor and grayness.

Wardrobe for all occasions

“Dark Autumn” allows its owner to be different and interesting:

A business suit can be multi-layered, dark brown or dark green, made of thick fabrics. It is better to combine colors in clothes, so the image will not be boring. Clothing should not contain contrasting patterns. You can complement the look with accessories, for example, large bronze jewelry and a dark brown bag made of genuine leather.

Another casual work look: a fitted brown plaid dress with a tapered knee-length hem and beige shoes. Accessories: copper jewelry and dark brown suede bag.

Leisure clothing should first of all be loose. A pullover in neutral tones with a fluffy beige or brown skirt will look harmonious.

An ivory shirt with loose trousers in brown or beige is also suitable for relaxation. Accessories can be selected from ivory or copper. Bag of discreet colors - brown or beige.

A floor-length evening dress in emerald color will look dazzling in the “Dark Autumn”. The look needs to be complemented with dark gold jewelry and a grunge style bag.

Colors that are also ideal for an evening look are gold, deep purple and dark red. It is better to choose beige or dark brown shoes. There should not be black in the image.

Makeup for "Dark Autumn"

If bright colors are allowed in small doses in clothes for autumn girls, then flashy palettes are prohibited in makeup. The autumn color type is already oversaturated with warm tones, so bright shades in makeup make “Dark Autumn” ridiculous and funny. When choosing a suitable image, do not forget that the “Dark Autumn” color type is, first of all, stateliness and nobility. This is what you should start from when choosing decorative cosmetics.

For fashionistas who fit the “Dark Autumn” color type, makeup should be as restrained as possible. Particular preference should be given to matte shades. However, such a girl is allowed to use gold and copper in the shadows or skin tone.

Stylists advise using foundations that match your skin color. You should not darken or lighten your face and try to match another subtype - this is a losing option. Autumn with cool shades in makeup can age the owner and highlight all the imperfections of the skin.

When choosing a lipstick, you should also pay attention to warm colors: deep red, brown, cream, red-black, copper, orange. It is important to remember that one thing can be bright in makeup - either lips or eyes.

Common mistakes in the image “Dark Autumn”

The main and most common mistake girls with the autumn color type make is not accepting themselves and trying to change. Some representatives of the autumn type try to deliberately lighten or darken their skin tone or experiment with the color palette in their clothes. Stylists and makeup artists do not recommend such attempts to adapt an image to another type, since this color type does not tolerate experimentation.

What to avoid in “Dark Autumn”:

1. All cool colors should be avoided in clothing, as well as grey, white, yellow, bright orange and hot pink.
2. When dyeing your hair, you need to choose a dye that does not contain blue pigment.
3. In makeup, it is important not to overdo it with a black eyeliner pencil. Black eyebrows combined with black eyeliner will make the “autumn” face look heavy and rough.
4. Contrasting patterns in clothing should be avoided.
5. Black color is only suitable if it is shoes or a bag. In other cases, the color should not be black. Black inserts on clothing and black eyeliner in makeup are allowed.

“Dark Autumn” is quite rich in color palette, the main thing is to remember two simple rules: autumn is warm and noble.

In conclusion

"Autumn is the second spring, when every leaf is a flower" . Albert Camus.

Autumn is the time when you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and enjoy the riot of colors of nature: green, yellow, brown colors give this time of year a special charm. Girls of the autumn color type, like autumn itself, are distinguished by their special charm. The beauty of “Dark Autumn” is very contradictory and is associated with warmth and comfort, with passion and nobility, with wealth and sophistication, with tenderness and obstinacy.

The autumn color type is considered the brightest among the rest. This is because by nature, an autumn woman has golden or red luxurious hair combined with blue or light blue, emerald, and brown eyes. The appearance of the “autumn” color type is associated with the warmth and brightness of autumn colors.

Leather

Most often, women of the “autumn” color type have skin tones of ivory or champagne, as well as red-brown, peach, beige-golden, bronze or olive tones. The main thing is that it does not have a red undertone.

Sometimes the skin tone is similar to the spring color type and is distinguished by the absence of a natural blush. Although there are exceptions in the form of a barely noticeable peach-colored blush.

Skin tone is even and dense. Thanks to this, the skin looks healthy in appearance and is not prone to imperfections. An exception would be freckles, which can either partially or generously cover the face.

Despite the “love” of the sun, such skin quickly “burns” under direct sunlight. This especially applies to blondes with light pinkish-beige skin. Autumn women with darker skin “burn” less often, and the tan looks even, applies well and lasts longer.

Eyes

Mostly, an autumn woman has dark eyes with golden flecks. Primary colors are brown with an amber tint, green (from light green to dark green, almost marsh green), brown, golden brown, ocher or walnut brown. Rarely - these are blue shades, gray, the color of light amber.

The iris of the eyes is brown and seems to radiate light and radiance. This is probably why photographers love to work with “autumn” women. They are the most photogenic.

Fluffy thick eyelashes and beautifully defined eyebrows, close or identical in color to the hair.

Hair

In the “autumn” color type, hair is distinguished by its splendor, volume, and elasticity. Sometimes with a dark brown tint and always with a warm gold, honey or brick tint. Primary hair colors are shades of auburn, red, brown, bronze and auburn.

When gray hair appears or gives a different shade to the hair, it is better for an “autumn” woman to choose paints with red pigments or highlight red strands. But blue pigment in paint should be avoided.

By nature, the autumn color type has curly or simply curly hair, but there are exceptions - representatives with straight hair. Curling irons and curlers are suitable to help them create hairstyles. With their help, they can create lush and voluminous hairstyles. It’s better to forget about short haircuts and strict hairstyles for this color type.

Types and subtypes

The autumn color type, like others, is divided into subtypes and subspecies. There are two main subspecies:

• Contrasting. This is fair skin combined with bright eyes.
• Natural. This subtype does not have bright contrasts and the entire appearance as a whole is designed in the same colors.

Warm autumn

Ideal colors for warm autumn are orange, yellow and gold, mustard, olive, brown or khaki. Black, blue colors, hot pink and gray are completely unsuitable for warm autumn.

Deep or dark autumn

This subtype is characterized by the bright colors of late autumn, which turns into winter. In most cases, this subtype has very rich and pronounced pigment in the hair and eyes. The skin is also darker shades of the autumn color type.

It is recommended to choose a bright wardrobe. So, emerald, green, dark and deep shades of brown, sometimes almost black, will fit well into late autumn. What should be left out are clothes in pale, lavender or gray shades.

Soft autumn

Third subtype. It is considered the most moderate due to its mixture of soft summer and autumn palettes.

Soft autumn means light eyes and dull hair. And the skin is a light beige cold tone. To soften the cold, it is better for owners of this subtype to choose a color scheme of neutral shades: from light yellow to yellow, milky, light gray and mustard shades, khaki, light pink and peach.

Dark shades of blue, black and gray, red or fuchsia are not suitable for the third subtype.

Suitable shades

To decide on the main colors in the autumn color type wardrobe, you need to take into account not only subtypes and subspecies. The main criterion when choosing and combining colors will be colors. There are four of them.

Natural

Not a bright appearance with a lack of contrast. All colors are the same or similar shade. As an example of natural coloring, this appearance:

1. Skin - golden beige tone.
2. Eyes – brown with an amber tint.
3. Hair ranges from light to dark brown with copper tints.

Contrasting

Bright colors and shades that contrast with each other:

• Ivory leather.
• The eyes are gray with brown streaks.
• Hair is brown, closer to a bronze shade.

Bright

In this case, there is one element in appearance that stands out against the background of the other two:

1. Leather – warm beige leather.
2. Eyes – in this example, the eyes will be the bright element. They should be a contrasting color to the skin and hair and stand out against their background.
3. Hair – brown hair with a faint red tint.

Light

All three main elements (skin, eyes, hair) in one light color scheme and spectrum.

1. The skin is light beige with a natural, barely noticeable blush.
2. Eyes – light brown.
3. Hair is light copper color.

Having understood a little about all the types, subtypes, etc., you can move on to the general or basic palette of the autumn color type. First of all, let’s figure out which colors are suitable for a given color type and will look most advantageous.

The base of the wardrobe is rich brown, brick, copper shades, as well as cinnamon color. It is this palette that most successfully shades the skin. In second place will be shades of green, khaki, kerosene, mousey shades of brown and green.

Bright red color is completely unsuitable for the autumn color type, but its muted and softer shades will come in handy. These include salmon, tomato, terracotta, cherry.

Don't forget about purple-blue berry shades - lingonberries, blackberries, plums. Gray colors must be complemented by an admixture of yellow. An example of such a color would be camel.

Cold summer and winter shades are completely contraindicated in the wardrobe of “autumn” women. And also black and white. When choosing shades, the shade of the hair is taken into account. The darker it is, the darker the colors in the clothes.

As a conclusion: brown, green and red shades are suitable for the autumn color type. Depending on the subtype, saturation, contrast and other color indicators may vary - pistachio and olive shades of green, golden beige and dark chocolate from brown.

When choosing clothes, you should pay attention to simpler and uncomplicated things. Glamor, outrageousness, too strict costumes - all this does not suit the bright and sunny representatives of the autumn color type.

As for the print, folklore motifs and animal prints (leopard, tiger) will undoubtedly suit red-haired girls. In this case, such a drawing will not look vulgar.

Creating an image

It is worth highlighting several basic clothing styles for the autumn color type.

• Country
• Ethnic
• Safari

They represent loose-fitting clothing and are best combined with bright folk-style accessories and low-contrast patterns, square shape, layering, massive jewelry, muted colors, and rough fabrics. They can also be combined with each other to create a capsule wardrobe.

Fabrics

In wardrobe fabrics of the “autumn” color type, softness and volume should prevail. It is better to avoid cold glitter and lurex, but you can add lace. The textures of things should be textured, plastic, with high pile.

To create the right wardrobe, choose suede shoes and bags, tweed, wool, mohair jackets or cardigans. Don't forget to include luxurious velvet, velor or corduroy materials. They must be of very good quality.

For the summer season, choose clothes made from natural and natural fabrics - linen, cotton, silk, cambric.

Shoes

Shoes should attract attention and set accents. It should stand out from the general surroundings, for example, using an unusual shape or pattern.

Ideal materials are suede and nubuck. Not only shoes, but also a bag can be made from them. Bags can also be made of leather with weaving or perforation.

The color palette is based on the already familiar warm shades of brown, red-red, dark beige, gold as an admixture to the main coffee shades, as well as cinnamon and khaki.

Prints

The color palette of the print in autumn clothing should still be the same warm and deep. Fantastical, unusual and somewhere exotic patterns will look trendy in a wardrobe of the autumn color type. Pay attention to the leopard, ethical and plant motifs, as well as oriental painting.

Plaid is a must-have in a woman’s fall wardrobe. It doesn’t matter at all what style it will be: checkered, tartan or Burberry branded, the main thing is that it is warm green, brown or red.

Small and blurry prints do not fit into an autumn color wardrobe at all. They erase the expressiveness of the “autumn” look. The same effect is produced by drawings of cool shades.

Jewelry and accessories

An “autumn” woman can and has every right to afford large voluminous jewelry or multi-layered beads. High-quality jewelry made from materials reminiscent of natural ones (wood, stones, shells, turtle, leather, straw) is simply necessary in a wardrobe of autumn colors. Don't forget about fabric jewelry - wicker bracelets, necklaces, earrings.

It’s good if the jewelry is with precious or semi-precious stones. They can be amber beads, earrings or sets with topaz, agate, onyx.

Metals of jewelry should be warm without obsessive shine - copper, brass, bronze. But silver and gold jewelry should be excluded, especially if they are made in a romantic style.

Large scarves and stoles, hats and sunglasses are indispensable accessories for a woman in autumn. For scarves, the same rules apply as for other things, but a hat can be not only felt, but also straw.

When it comes to glasses, most frames should be dark brown or leopard print. In addition, frames in camel, green, amber or khaki shades are suitable for the autumn color type. For a long time now, horn-rimmed frames have become popular again.

Based on the shape of the frame, you should opt for rounded soft shapes of large or medium size. The size of the frames of glasses, like prints, should not be small.

Glass can be of any shade, including classic black. The main thing is that they fit harmoniously into the frame and the image itself as a whole.

Fragrances

The perfect finishing touch to your look is the right scent. It can be rich, heavy and complex. It should contain notes of the east - coriander, cloves, patchouli, musk.

Makeup

The main rule when choosing colors for makeup and manicure remains - choose warm shades. Eye makeup of the “autumn” color type is characterized by light green shades, light gray, blue, which can turn into darker tones. Lips must certainly be bright, but warm.

Due to the luxurious and bright hair that attracts all the attention, women of the autumn color type can get by with a minimum of cosmetics. But if makeup is still necessary, then some rules should be taken into account.

Foundations and blushes

As mentioned earlier, the skin tone of the autumn color type itself is dense and even, without any imperfections except freckles, which means that a dense coating is not necessary and you can also do without powder. The foundation should be light and liquid, it should not hide freckles.

If you still need to disguise imperfections, then choose a concealer with yellow pigment.

For fair skin, choose salmon, peach, and apricot shades of blush. For darker skin, blush shades of coral, brown, and terracotta are suitable. If you don’t have blush on hand, bronze-toned powder can replace them.

Eye makeup

Considering that the natural color of eyelashes in the autumn color type is from red to brown, then you should choose mascara in shades that are close to natural. Although in some cases regular black mascara with a green or purple tint would be appropriate.

For everyday makeup, mascara and a defined eyelash line with a pencil are enough. It should be the same tone as the mascara.

For more intense makeup, the ideal color solutions would be emerald, lilac, all shades of green, shades of peach, bronze, cognac, as well as lavender and gold.

Pomade

Again, only warm shades. Coral, orange with a pink tint, caramel, tomato and chocolate, blackberry and eggplant, creme brulee, carrot shade.

It is better to avoid mother-of-pearl, deliberately pink, lilac shades when choosing lipstick.
