Soft Autumn
Soft Autumn is the gentlest season in the autumn family: warm-neutral, muted colouring with low contrast. Soft earthy colours suit it, like camel, sage, soft olive and salmon, while bright and icy colours look harsh.
- Temperature: warm-neutral
- Depth: medium
- Intensity: very soft
How to tell if you are a Soft Autumn
- Skin: Beige, golden or neutral, sometimes with an olive cast.
- Hair: Dark blonde, light brown or soft auburn, without high shine.
- Eyes: Hazel, soft green, warm grey or light brown.

Colours best avoided
- Fuchsia: Saturated and cool, it hardens your face instantly.
- Black: Too severe for softness like yours.
- Cobalt Blue: Its crisp coolness has none of the dustiness that suits you.
Metals: best in matte gold and bronze; less so in bright silver.
How to build your wardrobe
Camel, oatmeal and soft olive as a base. Tone-on-tone outfits in earthy colours are its easiest formula.
Seasons it is often confused with
- Soft Summer: Soft Summer is just as muted but cool.
- True Autumn: True Autumn is warmer and richer.
