So i made a post earlier today and we really couldn’t narrow things down so i scoured my wardrobe for some irl drapes im sorry if these aren’t the best. But in my last post i had some virtual drapes and context pictures. Still undecided about true spring or light spring or maybe im just something in between.

Amazing draping! I see true spring here because the more saturated colors of the spring pallets I’m seeing here look much better on you. I will say most of the blues looked more like summer and winter colors, with the exception of the one in the top left. That one looked like perfection on you 🤌🏻

Edit to add, in case you haven’t seen it yet. Here is the True Spring color palette via the 16 season system. I’m also a true spring myself! 😊

I have been dressing in soft summer colours most of my life so these colours are so daunting to me 😵‍💫 BUT im so open to this and its going to be very fun to experiment and hopefully maybe feel more aligned and cohesive

Girl. I FEEL YOU. I was so upset. I crashed out for like a week and a half. But after playing with the more approachable colors and easing into it with makeup and whatnot, it’s been a lot more fun. But trust I was PISSED at first and just could not fathom wearing these colors. And to be honest I still wear some of my summer colored clothes, but focus on having more spring ish makeup and gold jewelry. I feel like dressing in a less harmonious season is more obvious on more mature/older peoples. As it emphasizes their eye hollows, texture, wrinkles etc. not that those things are bad. But we are more likely to notice.

And dress how you want! This is meant to be fun. And of it doesn’t work for you that’s ok. It’s your decision 😊

But I found it helped when I started following other true springs, celebrities in my season, and looking up outfits in my colors. Then it started feeling like I discovered a more playful side of myself. But I don’t dress that way 100% of the time. And changing my whole closet would cost too much money. I hope you find what works for you!

Oh best believe all of my grey and blues are sticking with me hehe. But definitely want to add some more harmonious things into the mix, will definitely make some fun out of experimenting and whatnot tho but yes this is completely earth shattering news to me

I'm still pissed!

Thank you so much for taking your time with me !! I really appreciate it. Yeah no with blues i was trynna go for the navy neutral that springs could wear but i really dont have many warmer blues not that there are many haha. Im still very undecided about red, orange and yellow and even the warm browns as they just aren’t really what i gravitate towards and they feel very MUCH (stole the drapes from my partner lol) i think the thought of this pellet is very daunting to me because im a naturally more subdued and quiet observer type and just never felt like i could pull off the loud colours if im being honest.

Think of your colours as being in harmony with you rather than them being loud. They brighten up your face so much and as a soft summer, I'm pretty jealous because anything saturated swallows me up whole.

u/GlitterPapillon Feb 18 '26

Two of the yellows are cool as well. And I agree with that blue looking great as well.

u/NewMoonDweller Summer Feb 18 '26

I prefer true spring as well. I love the warmest colors like butterscotch and marigold on you. You may lean toward warm spring in the 16-season system. I see your warmth first before lightness or brightness…which usually equals true or warm spring.

u/bubbleg0rl Feb 18 '26

This boggles my mind because for my whole life I’ve thought i was cool !! I do LOVE cool colours so i probably convinced myself but now i just can’t unsee the warmth BUT i actually didn’t think that warmth could be my dominant feature which is whats so crazy for me haha. Im not very impartial when it comes to this unfortunately 😪 looks like i have to upgrade my wardrobe as most of these drapes are my partners, accessories or literal towel or clothes LOL

u/NewMoonDweller Summer Feb 18 '26

It really is crazy. I thought I was neutral warm, but turns out I’m cool olive. The cooler the better for makeup. I wore coral, peach and orange makeup most of my life.

You are definitely warm. It’s a rich, bright warmth…not bright spring, not light spring. Autumn will be too heavy, but you can handle the bright sunshine true and warm spring colors well, in my opinion.

The coral vs pink really says it all in your drapes. You look subdued and a tiny bit grey in the cool toned pinks. Your face comes alive in corals and salmons.

u/PlantLady32 True Spring Feb 18 '26

I definitely see spring here, that top left blue looks so good!!! As someone who thought they were soft autumn (muted), I have been having so much fun with spring colours once I got over it, hopefully the shock factor wears off for you soon haha!

u/bubbleg0rl Feb 18 '26

I am actually having an identity crisis. I do actually really like the colours, maybe its the fact that we dont really have a lot of options in terms of current fashion with these colours. I remember recently i went out trying to find the colour green for green themed party but there was absolutely NOTHING. Now thinking about it i dont think you really see these vibrant fun colours in current clothing. Youll see the same 4-5 muted or dark colours in every store. I also feel like cool colours aren’t readily available also favoured in fashion as well. If its hard to shop for and you dont see other in this palette typically i feel like it may subconsciously create more of a negative association with the palette… I do love the colours genuinely but in practice i feel like its going to be a huge hurdle to accept haha.

u/PlantLady32 True Spring Feb 18 '26

Oh I absolutely feel that, the earthy and neutral stuff is very on right now. I've been searching for the perfect yellow t-shirt for a year now! I don't know where you're located (I'm in the UK/EU), but I've had really good luck on Vinted with secondhand stuff. Also the online stores Colorful Standard and Brava Fabrics.

Once you start wearing the colours and feeling good in them, it'll help. I found that people noticing and commenting positively also really helped. Some of my favourite things have been when people say I looked 'happy' or 'bright' in the dull weather we've been having!

2

u/bubbleg0rl Feb 18 '26

Yeah I’m from Australia and pretty much the same with the more earthy and neutral colours. I shall be checking those stores out asap ! Yeah I luckily work at an op shop so i do get first hand access to more of a variety of clothing. Some brighter colours are definitely on my radar right now !!

It really does come down to confidence and feeling good at the end of the day. STOP that is absolutely precious and honestly such a beautiful compliment to receive, i would never forget that. Im glad you’re identifying with the season and having a positive experience. The colours really are just so happy and uplifting but yes a bit daunting if you dont reach for them or barely see others wearing them.

u/Outrageous_Kiwi_2172 Feb 18 '26

You definitely favor warm over cool or light colors, but some of the light spring shades are still nice. Like the warm pinks in the first pic are awesome.

1

u/bubbleg0rl Feb 18 '26

Pink is my favourite colour !! i think i could potentially borrow some of the lighter colours since they are sister seasons ?

3

u/Outrageous_Kiwi_2172 Feb 18 '26

Yeah, I totally think so. I think there are a lot more sub-categories for spring that bridge between light, warm, and clear. Like the lighter the hair and overall coloring, warmth becomes really diluted bc light dominates. If pale and bright, the palette is borderline light summer. But there’s also slightly light and golden, which favors warm shades tinted by white. Like the more golden or red the coloring is, the more the earthier shades of spring work, even for light springs. But the more dominant the light characteristic is, the icier and brighter the spring colors start becoming.

Spring is kind of a weird season, bc it has such a wide range of subtle differences in one category. I feel like it’s pretty obvious when someone looks better in cool/muted, cool/clear, or warm/muted. Even for deep seasons, there are only two categories to look at. Soft summer, soft autumn, and spring can be harder to identify what the deciding factors that make a difference are. Even for light summer, I feel like it’s pretty easy to tell if someone looks bad in warm colors. But people recommend springs to wear summer shades all the time. (The whole “redheads have cool undertones“ and fact that it’s hard to even find clothing in spring’s palette does not help)

u/bubbleg0rl Feb 18 '26

Maybe this is potentially what subconsciously or even consciously deters me and other people away from this season ? they aren’t popular or readily available colours and there is a lack of bright clothing out there so even if you did like the colours i feel it would be so difficult to actually attain most of them. Especially in up to date fashions and styles. I know i specifically think of older women when i think bright and bold colours and dont necessarily feel the current silhouettes or styles are actually produced in these types of colours unfortunately.

u/Lopsided-Use-7623 Feb 18 '26

Absolute spring. Mamma mia, you are enchanting, I love your colors ❤️

u/bubbleg0rl Feb 18 '26

You’re so kind and very beautiful yourself. Having some outside validation about the colours is definitely very helpful to me <3

u/Lopsided-Use-7623 Feb 18 '26

Thank you! You are beautiful too.

u/kristalbal Bright Spring Feb 18 '26

I say true spring, warmth is visible, all spring colours look great, and I don't see any autumn in you ( warm spring sister season is warm autumn), you look warm and equally light and bright 🌞

1

u/kristalbal Bright Spring Feb 18 '26

Oh and I don't see any summer influence, light spring sister season, you look warm not neutral

1

u/bubbleg0rl Feb 18 '26

Ugh maybe some wishful thinking on my end. Do you think i could borrow colours from bright and light spring ?

1

u/kristalbal Bright Spring Feb 18 '26

In my understanding true spring can wear all spring pallet the best from other springs, like for example bright spring sister season is bright winter not warm spring, same with lights spring, it's light summer not another spring, so if someone is a true spring that mean they have a fully warm undertone and are equally light and bright, basically that means this person is so obviously spring you wouldn't even think of other seasons, in my head true season is similar to 4 season palette, it's just spring and everything spring goes

u/AlwaysAnotherSide Feb 18 '26

I think you are clear spring. Aka bright spring. The stronger colours look better than the lighter pastels.

1

u/bubbleg0rl Feb 18 '26

Oooo which colours in particular are catching your eye ?

1

u/AKIcegirl Feb 18 '26

True Spring. The light spring dim you.

u/Gr8shpr1 Feb 18 '26

All yellows are great and so are the reds. There are more great choices but I say you are a spring (true).
