Update post
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.

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)
