How To Wear Blue - A Mini Masterclass - Cool Blue - Warm Blue 

So happy to hear that you got clarity on your colours! It makes such a difference!

Hello, spring type here. I agree with your choice of colors, it's just hard to find particular items in those colors sometimes...😊

@@picturesquelife4175 All the more important to be aware of them - because if you spot them or the fashion industry unleashes it onto the unsuspecting consumers - you can take advantage of your opportunity. Without knowing your best colours it is hard to withstand the pressure to buy something (let's say you need a formal costume or suit and a black one looks good, nice fit, looks expensive, good price - this is the time when a lot of people get some kinda O.K. things into their wardrobe. The garments will be good - just not ideal on them. On the other hand if you see The garment (right style for you body type and and ideal colour on top) you will not let the opportunity slide. (of course it would be a good idea if you are able to keep the weight stable because then you can use those favorite pieces for a long time).

@@picturesquelife4175 Another trick is to acessorize. And in colour analysis it matters how close the fabric is to your face. So a wide neckline with more skin showing (your natural skin is always an O.K. to good fit, unless you have skin problems) can allow a summer or even spring type to wear black. The next trick is to wear a lipstick in an ideal colour. With foundation on you can pull off more and stray out of your palette more. But that is not for everyone. Lipstick is a very fast fix and can add visual interest and more contrast / intensity to your face, that can counterbalance not so ideal colours. Things like shine, glitter (it makes the fabric look brighter, or like a lighter tint) can play a role whether you can pull off a less than ideal colour. For instance a fuzzy or very structured surface absorbs more light, it tones down intense colours, even a neon yellow will "bite" less - and look more classy - if it is in chashmere or mohair. Women can use scarves, jewelry to adjust the impact of the garment next to the face. And colourful or statement pantyhoses, shoes and handbags for stylish outfits. Men can use ties or even bandanas to insert a pop of the ideal colours NEXT to their face. A suit can be amended with a shirt, tie and vest in a flattering colour. (it should pair well with the main not-so-ideal colour and look fabulous on you. Then it can do a lot to make this outfit work for you. I also noted that often the contrasts (when you combine colours) should not be too bold. Think a soft summer trying to save the beloved black leather jacket. Yes one can style it with light blue (dress or top). But it often looks a bit weird. The contrast is just too much to look elegant. It is an unexpected combination so it adds visual interest. But not all surprising combinations are flattering. So if light blue is a good colour a dark muted colour for the bottoms could look great. Some contrast but not too much. Even surprising combinations are possible. Think any brown/greyish/taupe colours. Weird greys. Even khaki. Those neither here nor there colours can be a fabulous background for tops in ideal colours. And as the combination is a bit unusual it adds a lot of visual interest. And of course using the ideal colours for tops. Especially formal wear can be tricky for a spring or autumn type. Realistically an autumn type will have a hard time finding a brown or green suit. Spring types might get away with a lighter grey or grey-beige / sand tone, but autumn types have a formal wear problem for sure. And on some occasions even a "tan" suit is not formal enough, it has to be a very dark colour. If you have to be mindful of prices ... you may end up with the generic blue, black or grey that are offered in masses. Sommer and winter types have it easier for (dark) formal wear. Which is why it is important to use the opportunity when a flattering colour is pushed as the colour of the season. Then one might even get a costume or suit in an ideal colour, that would not be offered w/o that fashion industry dictate. At the minimum then one can get simple but gut quality shirts and scarves to adjust the generic dark blue, dark grey, grey or black. I also find that a cut and colour that is ideal for a person never goes "out of style" for the wearer - unless the features are really extreme. (like very short skirts, extremely wide trousers, extreme shoulder pads, or very tiny, slim winter jackets. Or very oversized). If those features are very extreme the garments can give you a dated look, but if you buy moderate versons of these trends (the pants has a somewhat wider leg, but it is not extreme) those garments will be wearable for YOU for years. And if the piece is of good quality one can consider having it altered (taking away a bit of wideness of the leg. Or shortening a skirt. Oversized garments can be taken in. Hardcore fashionistas will notice that this is a cut or colour of 5 - 10 years ago (but they will also notice that it is flattering for YOU, so if they are not mean spirited or snobbish, they will also give you the nod for wearing a flattering outfit). For the majority of people you meet, you you will look "put well together", and it will get you compliments. If you try to add visiual interest - can be colour, patterns, breaking the rules for instance elegant combined with denim, pattern or colour combinations, quality accessories - your style will be equated with "fashionable" - even though you are technically not fashionable but stylish - because those colours and cuts were promoted / pushed years ago. I can be fun to shop you wardrobe and getting creative - instead of going shopping. Getting that kick (instead of the kick of buying often w/o wearing it much) is much more wholesome, individualistic, good for your purse and the environment. Putting in the effort to get the colours and shapes right (and to wear it most of the time, instead of getting complacent with leisure clothes) changes your attitude. And self image. How you show up in the world how much you groom yourself (and people see that investment) has a psychological impact on you. A lot of people resort to a generic colour (black or denim or beige are often used), because they do not yet know how to create their style and they are afraid to stand out and get attention (which can be unwanted kind of attention. Not being dressed "right" can be shameful, and many children experience that, if they cannot have nice, well fitting clothes, or if they cannot get the brands that their peers have).

Oh yes I can imagine that’s beautiful 💙

Blue is fabulous for Summers 💙☺️

Exactly and of course the chroma and value too ☺️💙

Blue is beautiful on cool summers! Glad to hear your skin is getting better! 💙

@@sarahryanthestylecoach Thank you Sarah 😊

Great choices. Kingfisher blue is stunning! So happy to hear you were able to find clothes in it! 💙

I’m a True Autumn. I feel the same way! I can wear Teal well. Navy is ok but not great, a warmer True or Marine Navy is better. The cool seasons have so much selection compared to us. Love your videos Sarah!

I am a deep winter like Sarah so yes. The neon yellow I can do well . The really light yellow that is cool I can wear in the summer when I have more of a tan. I can wear warm purple and cool purples because deep autumn is my sister season

So many people are put off certain colours because of school uniforms! You are not alone!

I didn't wear grey for years for the same reason!

@@lookwhatiboughttodayyes, I think enforced clothing tends to have that effect!

I can totally understand why you would think that. I bet a lot of people could jump to the same conclusion ☺️💙

Try out high quality rhicinus oil = castor oil instead of a night skin cream. Just the oil nothing else. It has healing properties. Just get high quality: cold press is a must, ideally it is organic as well. (small producers that are organic or almost organic may not bother with certification. But cold press is a must). That will cost 7 - 10 Euros for 100 ml (which is a smaller bottle). For reference a large cup is usually 250 ml. It is a very thick oil, so you need VERY little, rub it in your clean hands, so it is warmed up and gets a bit more liquid. Then lightly go over the face with the hands. It is of course also good for the skin of your hands and your nails. Some people mix it with a bit of high quality skin oil (almond, or jojoba or argan oil). It will be less sticky and thick and easier to spread. I consider to mix it with a bit of honey (again organic high quality - honey has also healing properties) and aloe vera gel. I have lots of plants, just need to figure out a way to get rid of the toxins of the skin. If I do not find a reliabe DIY method I will have to buy purified gel. Likely I will keep the mixture in the freezer and only take out a supply for 2 days - it can store for 2 days in the bath (ice cubes maybe). Ideally you keep the castor oil it in the fridge and take out 1 large spoon in a glass container. It should stand protected from light, and take it out for your skin care with a clean spatula. Then you can use it even close to your eyes (growth of brows and eye lashes). If a bit gets into the eyes it does not matter (if you keep it hygienic). There are eye drops that have 2 % castor oil in them. It can be very good for sore, dry or red eyes. If a bit of pure oil from the lash care gets into your eyes - no worries. It is good for you. The oil is so thick that it is hard for any microbes to multiply in it. When it does not stand cool (and dark) it starts to oxydize I think, and it may lose its healing properties. A practical compromise is to have the bottle in the fridge and to get out only what you need for a few days. Less time on the counter if the oil is mixed with aloe vera gel. Honey is unproblematic, it is conserved (lots of sugar, the pollen and essential oils and some acid. Bees are very good in preserving their source of food).

Gorgeous jewel tones for Winter! 💙

Love that! Thanks for watching 💙

That's a great idea! 💙

Glad it was helpful! The dress sounds beautiful 💙

So glad you liked it. Thank you for watching 💙

A great capsule colour! 💙

I think blue denim is kind of a neutral and suits most people. I can see why the deeper blues would suit you if you are an Autumn 💙☺️

Thank you Maria! Your support is very much appreciated! X

💙💙💙

Oh teal is gorgeous on Autumns as well as deep blues! 💙💙

Thank you Maria! I love this necklace too. It’s from a British designer called Laura Wildish 💙

Love that! I’ve never heard of Soft Spring though! ☺️💕

@@sarahryanthestylecoachYea, I have a mix of bright and and soft features in my complexion but don't know where I really fit. Heard an analyst mention something called a soft spring don't kno how accurate that is ha.

Sounds beautiful! 💙

As a warm spring, warm blues and browns and camel are a favorite combo of mine as well.

The opposite of blue on the colour wheel is orange. Now golden brown is not (yet) orange but it starts going in that direction. They are close to being complimentary colours and therefore highlight each other.

@@franziskani Correct. That's why I mentioned that I mix aqua or turquoise (blues leaning to green) with the golden brown which is s brown with an orange base. The result is awesome!

Thanks for sharing!! Yes olive skin can get away with a good balance of warm and cool!

Oh lovely! 💙

Aquas are wonderful on Springs 💙

Oh I wouldn’t agree with that! I think blues are fabulous on deep winters ☺️💙

I think it sounds like it would work ☺️💙

Oh they sound wonderful for a warm and clear person 💙☺️

Love that! Blue hair! Amazing! 🤩

So glad to hear it ☺️

Thank you for your generosity and support Amy. It is very much appreciated! 💕

My pleasure Grayson!

You're very welcome!😊

This is a good example of when to look for the chroma and value rather than the temperature ☺️💙

Thank you for the tip !!

Oh good so suggestion! Watch this space!

I want that video too! And one on greys or neutrals in general would be very nice too because they can be tricky!

@@irnalonsogood one. I have a grey item of clothing that seems almost a yellow grey /greige. It doesn’t define my jawline well but does light my face up in a good way. I’d love to know if it’s a warm or cool grey ish colour.

Thanks for sharing! Oh yes I can imagine that looking beautiful 💙

I haven’t found that to be the case 💙

Teal or turquoise, true purple are said to be universal colors (for some analysts).

Soft warm & muted = soft autumn. Your sister season is soft summer. Hope that helps!

@@kitty_s23456 massively, thank you 🥰

It’s true, blue is a go-to for many a man’s wardrobe! It sounds like the warmer versions of blue work best for you! Nice observation ☺️💙

Thanks for sharing!! 💙

Would that be because dark winter is on the softer/muted side?

@@cathwalsh9921 we are the jewel tones. High intensity Soft muted is deep summer not winter

@@DeepWinterQueen82 there isn’t a deep summer in the 12 seasons?

@@cathwalsh9921soft muted is in the summer season period winter is more high intensity colors . I am a deep winter . True blue , true red I look really really good in

@@DeepWinterQueen82 There is a subgroup in winter (in the framework that Sarah uses and also Colour Analysis STudio) that has the juwel tones (cool winter). Deep winter (or dark winter in another 12 colour framework) is dark and the colours are not lively enough to be called "juwel tones". And summer is definitely not "deep" in any of the systems. It runs against the very definition of summer. (Or spring). There are soft summer types that can borrow from soft autumn. Or light summer can borrow from light spring. And cool summer can venture into cool winter (which is the "softest" palette of winter. Relative to the other 2 subgroups). Any other subgroup of winter would be too dark / bland or too bright / overwhelming for a summer. I am a cool summer that can pull off some intense winter colours. Jewel tones are a bit much but it goes in that direction. But some intense pinks, forest green ( A lively form of bluish dark green) looks very good on me. Also blueish violetts (that are very intense and deep). Coolness is my main characteristic, and the characteristical softness (muted colours) is only secondary, so I can stray from that a bit.
