A Vibrant & Chic Summer Caspule Wardrobe for the Spring Color Type
Summer Season | Spring Color Type
30 Pieces // 120 Outfits
Today I have another color palette example for you, plus some tips for summer layering and mixing prints in a capsule wardrobe. This example is inspired by Jasmine who has been typed as a spring color type and is looking to incorporate more bright, spring colors into her wardrobe.
Jasmine mentioned that she was typed as a Blue Spring by House of Color. While I took a more general approach to creating this capsule wardrobe color palette, I will note that the end result lies somewhere between the Paint Box Spring and Blue Spring color types from House of Color.
Jasmine has a casual, chic style with feminine touches and she values ease and practicality. She likes to wear jeans and leggings, but she prefers to avoid boxy trousers and high heels. She also wants to incorporate layering into her wardrobe.
Taking all of this into account, let’s see what kind of capsule wardrobe we can create for Jasmine!
The final capsule includes 30 items and can create at least 120 outfits. The color palette is warm and bright, great for the spring color type.
Building Jasmine’s Color Palette
I don’t know much about Jasmine’s coloring other than that she was typed as a spring. Let’s assume that she is warm, light, saturated, and contrasted.
For her base colors, let’s choose grass green and juicy orange. Then, for supporting colors, let’s add true red which is analogous to orange, as well as light blue to compliment her blue spring color type. For neutrals, a variety of warm tans, cream, white, and black will help to tone down and balance the bright color palette, providing more versatility in her outfit selections.
The final color palette is a bright and juicy combination of grass green, bright orange, true red, light blue, white, black and tan - perfect for a bright spring color type.
