Finding Your Perfect Red - Spring Seasonal Palette

Colour analysis helps you understand which shades truly flatter you, enhancing your natural features and making getting dressed feel effortless. Ifyou're a Springembrace vibrant, uplifting reds that energize your look and reflect your fresh, light palette.

Vibrant reds make for the best colour pops in Spring's warm, clear palette. From pinkish Watermelon and Strawberry to brightest Geranium and Poppy, your reds are all bold, confident and engaging.

The key thing to remember, when identifying your best reds, is clarity and lightness. Your reds are sometimes orangey-tomato-hued, and sometimes strawberry-pink in tone, but they are always light, clear and vibrant. Anything which gets too dark and heavy or remotely burgundy-toned will immediately make you feel pale and washed out.

The other key thing to remember is to wear your reds in contrast. Whether it's a classic combination like Navy, (Soft)White and Red, or something much more contemporary, don't forget to add the contrast. This can come either in the form of a neutral plus a bright (red), or by mixing lights (Camel, Pale Peach) with red, or even by clashing two or more bright shades together. A tonal look - for example, red with Chocolate and Tan - might feel elegant, but needs to be styled carefully in order not to feel too boring.

Style notes:

Red is the ultimate confidence boosting colour so embrace this hue and pair it with one of your ‘best colours’ to create a contemporary look. Think Pink and Red.

Style notes:

Red might feel a little bold for some so try anchoring it with your palettes neutrals and wearable denim to create an easy, fresh look.
