Bright Spring is more heavily weighted towards True Spring than Bright Winter is. As a result, it is warmer and more lively than Bright Winter. It can be a very adventurous palette with a good amount of sparky energy. For a good explanation of how Bright Winter and Bright Spring compare, please check out this blog post by Cate Linden for all the details.
A good thing to try is color contrast. Imagine a bright blue jacket, fuchsia pants and a patterned blouse with yellow in the print that ties it all together. If that’s more than you feel like navigating, how about a clear ivory jumpsuit with a Kelly green scarf and some shiny gold jewelry? You will find a nice collage here of solid color options if you don’t feel ready to push the envelope.
For jewelry, I tend to like rose gold and yellow gold better for Bright Spring than silver. Shine is good, both in fabric and metal finishes. Make sure any stones have sparkle, or at least a high polished finish.
Lipsticks colors I think work very well are a hot melon pink, tomato red, red-orange and red violet. Try to steer clear of heavy matte finishes.
I feel that wearing multi colored eye shadow is too distracting on anyone, but mixing ivory, gold and a peach orange with some brown eye liner is a more daring look worth trying. Here are some options.
Stay away from black or brown shoes. Gold, clear ivory, or any of your palette colors will be much nicer choices. Color blocking with accessories like this just looks joyful , which is everything Bright Spring authentically is.
What would I do if I were a Bright Spring? I’d get comfortable with the warmer end of the palette and play with complimentary colors like this . Try out lip balms and glosses to get used to more saturated lipstick shades. I’d also be pre-planning my Spring and Summer wardrobe!!
