I Have Red Hair. What's My Season?

7/24/2017

Actually, that's not how it works! Don't pay too much attention to systems that try to tell you otherwise. 


Your hair color doesn't make a darn bit of difference in determining your season.  A person with red hair might be found in any season, depending on her skin tone.

Here's a redheaded Light Spring:

A redheaded True Spring:

A redheaded True Autumn:

And I personally know a redheaded True Summer.

Redheads tend to have warm-toned skin, which puts them into Spring and Autumn categories. But it's theoretically possible that a person with genetically red hair could have Winter or Summer skin. 


​Unsure of your season? Try at-home draping cards.

I could not agree more. I have 2 redheaded daughters. One is light summer and one is soft summer. the soft summer was previously draped twice as true autumn but I draped her myself as soft summer. It's a mistake to automatically assume redheads must be warm seasons.

Interesting. I've long self-diagnosed as a True Autumn, but my summer wardrobe contains some colors that are closer to a True Spring's palette and I've been getting lots of compliments on them. I've been meaning to do some comparisons in good lighting and try some of the dealbreaker colors to see if I've been off for all these years. I can see how the common warm theme might make their colors close enough to flattering to mistake them for the ideal ones.

Eselle28, I'm also a self-diagnosed as a True Autumn, and yet have some colours in (especially) my summer wardrobe that I know are closer to True Spring's ;) (Somehow summer allows more brightness, and it's not easy to find e.g. oranges that are muted enough, they all tend to be Spring-y!) But in general, it's fairly easy to tell the difference, once you've trained your eye to it: Autumn is muted, Spring is bright, so one or the other will seem great and the other one somehow "off", when held close to one's face. HTH! :)

Compliments can guide us in the right direction, but sometimes "I like that" is just a person's polite way of saying, "I notice that." I think Christine Scaman was the first person I heard point this out.

Yes, she has a good article on that - https://12blueprints.com/compliments/ .
Compliments truly are more often misleading than anything else!

This is fantastic! Just look at yourself as a whole, look at the colors you wear, ask others to look at you, instead of going by those Pinterest posts that state "pinky beige skin, green eyes, dark brown hair = this season!". Yes, there are many, many people who look like the stereotype of their season, but there are some things you can miss if you only look at your eyes or your hair or w/e.

Even better than looking at yourself as a whole & asking others to look at you is to test what various colours do to your face & skin :) That's the only way to know, actually, and it's known as draping, though obviously most accurate if done by a professional, but DIY draping can in many cases very well lead to correct season (or very close), too :)

Lindsay Lohan is a true autumn? She doesn't seem like it to me. I always thought spring colors flattered her more.

To me she certainly seems an Autumn... Could you maybe link to a photo where she looks better in Spring colors?

"My closet has totally transformed into something I like, but don't think about much. How amazing is that? I just walk in, grab something for the occasion and the weather, and go. Because it's all the same color season, it all blends. Because it's all the right style (my style, so who cares if it's 'in'? It looks good on me) I can rest assured it looks about right. It's really amazing.

"I waste a lot less time and money now with shopping. I can walk into a store and rule out 90% of the inventory. I now try things I never would have dared and happily pass over things I used to think I had to have. Shopping is just a hunt now, not a source of guilt. I feel like I'm a lot less wasteful and more mindful this way."
