I think the best way to go about this is by trial and error, because there's no way, in my opinion, that a few standardized color schemes could be enough to cover all the variety in human looks. But as a starting point they are both fun and helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-warm-and-cool-colours#post-858363 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:10:30 +0000 cinnamon fern 858363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe start with a couple things in one warm color that works with what you have, and see if you like it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-warm-and-cool-colours#post-858204 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 02:59:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 858204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz. I also think rules are made to be broken:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-warm-and-cool-colours#post-858192 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 02:34:50 +0000 Jjsloane 858192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still in the camp of buying colors I like. If they like me back it's a bonus. I do take note when someone says "that's a good color on you", but if it goes unnoticed I don't shy away. Life is too short to avoid an entire spectrum. Of course I'm convinced I'm warm, but always get complimented on cool colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-warm-and-cool-colours#post-858168 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 01:36:37 +0000 Suz 858168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a "cool" or "true" summer by the books, Jen. Which means that more than most, I really look bad in most warm colours. But I LOVE adding warm colours, especially as accessories/ accents. For example: a mustard bag looks brilliant with fuchsia and navy or grey. A scarf with orange/ rust/ and yellow looks fab with taupe or blues. Warm leopard print looks great with almost everything. Tan or cognac belts and boots look fab with cool greys, black, ink blue. </p> <p>And if there is a "warm" colour that looks awful next to your face but it would make all your other colours pop (and you love it) consider it as a bottom (skirt or trousers). That could apply even to a cool colour that is not your best. I have an electric blue skirt. The blue would be too intense right near my face but it is brilliant as a bottom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-warm-and-cool-colours#post-858120 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 00:06:44 +0000 jenanded 858120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the talk of highly edited wardrobes abounding, and the stuff we know about colours forparticular seasons in ourown colouring... i am noticing capsule wardrobes that mix warm and cool colours. These small wardrobes means the outfits look quite different... what do others think... maybe i am a fashion child of the 80s and can only think in terms of 'my' colour palette and feel freaked out my anything warm... </p>
