That’s where color season analysis comes in.
In this guide, we break down the 5 most viral summer shades and reveal which color seasons can wear them confidently. We’ll also share real outfit formulas from the LookSky app—so you can stop guessing and start glowing.

What Is Color Season Analysis?
A Quick Refresher
• Four Seasons:Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
• Undertones:
◦ Warm: golden, peachy, or olive
◦ Cool: pink, blue, or rosy
◦ Neutral: a mix of both, often leaning slightly one way
