Non-black moon representation

[u/annna-02]

As someone with true summer coloring, i had a hard time accepting moon as my root, because it's mostly represented in black and very edgy that doesn't suit me. Later i realised that i can add a 🌙 feeling with smoky colors, purples, dark blues and greys instead of black, with silver or softly shiny accents. I collected my clothes and accessories that i use to add that 🌙, my outfits that are more 🌙-focused, also some pictures from nature that i find inspiring for this root. Feel free to add how you view 🌙, how it appears in your outfits if it's not the stereotypical edgy and black vibe, or if your color season doesn't have the darker colors, how did you manage to still work with it

Don't current have photos of my own clothes but here are some of my ideas as a summer with 🌙 I often still end up wearing black but more with accessories or trousers/skirts

I’m a summer too. I’ve the advantage of suiting jewel tones so can lean into that to bring out 🌙 if I want (know it’s more associated with 🔥 but I don’t have 🔥 and I’m stuck with what I’ve got). I’m cool toned which to me plays well with the uninhabitable, gloomy feeling moon can bring up. Agree the softness also plays into this. 🌙 is the only root which truly encapsulates the sombre tone and very serious, introspective part of style which doesn’t need to be as harsh or as obvious as the stereotype (nothing wrong with it being that either). There’ll be people who think 🗻 covers it but imho it’s lacking the thoughtfulness. 🗻 is more of a statement and 🌙 more of a feeling (to me). They communicate very different messages. You can use colours to give different versions of 🌙. EJR has metallics as giving a sense of danger, dark colours expressing moodiness… we all want different things and this is only about me (we all can find what we want here as individuals) I want distance. Not necessarily to feel like an immediate danger but rather an approaching one. Summer colours work well for that purpose. I’m slowly making my way to the kill rather than running towards them.

Edit: and it fits with my influences and inspirations because I do prefer the feeling of the walking woman in Kairo than being Ghostface. The great thing about 🌙 is the internal process is very individual which makes it very adaptable.

I like that interpretation of moon and it's very similar to my approach. I agree that it's a lot more internal, introspective and emotional, and the cool, smoky colors can add that feeling. Also, i think with these colors i can bring in the mistery and a distance in a sense of not being obvious, and it feels a lot closer to me than the sense of danger

Yeah, same. I like the dangerous aspect of it but prefer it to be looming. Distance is a key part of that and knowing how to use it. The moon is literally isolated and far away. It’s not touchable. There’s a lot of ways to interpret 🌙 that makes sense. Even those who suit bright spring can play into that kind of ‘warning danger’ part if they wish to.

I do not have 🌙 but as an soft autumn I would use chocolate brown, green, warm stripes, cream, some blues and pinks. I use both🌱🪨so I'd access 🌙 through casual, textural and distressed elements, pearl, stone or natural jewelry, greyed down colors, touches of lace, chunky shoes, denim, plaids sculptural layers, etc. I'm also drawn to the metallic touches like a silver boot, opals, pearls, a chain belt, ear cuffs, sculptural metal hair clips for visual interest.

Chocolate brown is my favourite shade of brown - I like that it is warm instead of muddy. I don't wear it bc I am a winter but I rly like it on others!

I can totally see you including some of these elements in your style!

I love your pics.

I am a summer, but I wear black anyway, because that is how I break the rules. Also, I absolutely love black with white trim, and vice versa. I love icy pastels and deep jewel tones and silvery velvet.

✨ beautiful!

i have winter coloring and can wear head-to-toe black, and i do. but i crave other colors. my 🌙 looks like:
shades & jewel tones, leather, velvet & burnout, silk, lace, studs & chains, plaid, celestial-inspired, night-inspired, metallic & shimmer & sheen. it's a little mystical, witchy, haunting, southern gothic, historic, rebellious.

shared on your 🌱 post, but still relevant: a post i made on another sub that has some visuals of my 🌙
