Trying to figure out your colours at home can feel tricky and honestly, most women make the same mistakes.
Here are the top 5:
1️⃣ You can’t see a difference between warm and cool… and you feel like you should.
2️⃣ You test colours that are all from the same palette, no wonder it all looks the same.
3️⃣ You’re scared you’ll get a palette you don’t want, so you avoid testing some colours…
3️⃣ (again!) You take photos at night with no natural light totally hides the truth.
4️⃣ You wear your usual tan or makeup because that’s “just what you do” but it really changes how the colours look.
5️⃣ You think you should DIY it perfectly seeing undertones clearly isn’t easy without the right tools.
The truth? It’s not you. These mistakes are normal and totally fixable.

This week I'm walking you through the colours that are about to land in stores for spring and summer here in the Southern Hemisphere: straight from the Pantone London Fashion Week Trend Palette and the Pantone New York report. I go colour by colour and tell you which colour season each one belongs to, which sister palettes can borrow it, and how to actually wear it because seeing a swatch on a screen is never quite the same as having it explained to you.
This week's episode is inspired by something doing the rounds on Instagram, the "worth the money" trend, but from my perspective as a personal colour stylist.
Your season never changes. But how you feel about wearing certain colours within it? That can shift completely and it doesn't mean something's gone wrong.
