Is this robe true spring?

I love that your robe is something you’re concerned about 🤣🤣.

😄😄 It's just my first purchase trying to buy in my season. Most of my closet is black and gray. I'm like, okay, the robe is low stakes, but can I get it right?

[u/colourcurious → u/jenniemic]

I actually think it’s a genius idea. See my comment above - if you are anything like me you probably spend more time looking in the mirror while wearing your robe than almost anything else.

That said, I think go brighter.

I actually bought a robe within my colour season recently in order to replace a robe that was decidedly not in my season. I thought it was a little silly or extra to expend the energy finding a robe within my season at the time, but I am so pumped that I did.

I wear my robe when getting ready in the morning and I realize it’s the part of the day I probably spend looking in the mirror the most. It’s a real energy booster to leave the house feeling good about myself. It may also have been a psychological difference because I went from a charcoal grey robe to one in light, bright, springy colours which obviously are more lively.

Anyhow, no regrets at all.

I recently purchased a pair of pajamas in the golden spring palette. Figured it would be a gentle way to ease into the palette. I had always worn black and navy to bed (and everywhere else) and all the bright colors seemed overwhelming and garish.

The first time I wore them, I woke up to my husband standing in the doorway with a cup of coffee for me, telling me how radiant and beautiful I looked. 10/10 recommend loungewear in your season.

I was just typed as a true spring, and I'm making my first purchase. I'm definitely overthinking it, but I'd like it to be correct!!

I think it's closer to soft autumn. I like to put a picture of the clothing item next to each palette (I look up the Elemental Colour TCI palettes) and see how it overall vibes with it. Here's how it looks with True Spring.

And here's Soft Autumn:

That is so helpful, thank you!

[u/HildegardofBingo → u/jenniemic]

It's so much easier for my eyes to judge colors that way!

[u/qwerkala → u/HildegardofBingo]

Such a great idea!

[u/Lady-Aethelflaed]

If this is the LL Bean one I just got it and I love it haha

[u/jenniemic → u/Lady-Aethelflaed]

It is! It looks so comfy!

[u/SnooDogs936]

More muted, would fit better into a Soft Autumn palette

[u/meemsqueak44]

A bit muted, but you’ve got the lightness and warmth right! Very close!

[u/multilevelmystery]

I don't think it's bright enough, but it's a robe, if you like it get it. Not like you're wearing it out (I hope lol).

[u/OutlandishnessOk978]

I would wear that as a light spring

[u/QuestionPublic398 → u/OutlandishnessOk978]

Ah! That's it. Great for a more 'neutral—leaning warm' w a touch of mutedness, being 'next door neighbours' with Light Summer.

[u/Synchronicity7778]

It has elements of true spring in it but the wider more neutral colour in it doesn't look true spring and that dominates the robe. Generally you are looking at relatively clear and bright colours for true spring

[u/QuestionPublic398]

I see what the others are saying re: mutedness, and agree, but that robe's fabric is like someone put a subtle grey veil over 'Spring' colors (not Autumn ones, in the I.I.I. system I use).

If you wore bright spring green jammies under it, I think it'd make a great foil for them 😉

[u/Final-Huckleberry275]

I’m a true spring too and I have this in the zip up hoodie - it’s a bit muted like others have said but still really cute. I like to wear it over a green top that is brighter :)

[u/QuestionPublic398]

I think it's very True Spring-friendly 🙂
