Overall look: Clear and cool

Skintone: Ivory, clear olive, cool beige

Eyes: Deep brown, grey-brown

If you are a Cool Winter you were probably a Deep Winter earlier in life but with the grey now coming through in your hair, and with your eyes and skintone softening, you are better avoiding the warmer tones that are vital to the Deep Winter, such as tomato red, olive and rust. Instead you should now go for the cool, softer colours from the Cool Winter palette such as plum, raspberry, fuchsia and blue-red.

See the harmony in the Cool Winter palette. Unlike other palettes that do blend some cool and warm colours, you can see that these colours all have the same cool undertone. Since your grey hair is a major feature, you will be best advised to use charcoal or true grey as your neutrals. Golden browns or beiges would make your hair look dull and lifeless, when in fact it is a wonderful asset.

For business, all Winters have an easier time than other seasonal types. Greys and navies look wonderful on Winters and are available throughout the year. But, as a Cool Winter you need to appreciate that when you wear traditional business combinations, the dark suit and light blouse (perhaps in navy and white), you can look older and rather severe. A softer suit teamed with a darker blouse — for example raspberry with taupe — gives good contrast and projects authority without making you unapproachable. Other choices for suits will be weaves of soft white, navy and grey. Plum or blue-red are also good.

For evening, black might be too severe. Why not opt for royal blue, in a silk chiffon crepe jersey or taffeta? For relaxing, bright periwinkle blue and charcoal or icy grey would make a sensational combination.
