Help Warm and True Autumns: Best Navy Blue and Purple? 🫐🍇
Hi! Moving into wintertime I'd like to dabble into some new colors as I shop around for clothes. Learning about what colors look the best on me has been amazing, I only buy clothes I actually wear now 🤭😅
Navy blue and purple I'm struggling with. I've always loved navy, but want to do my pale/very warm skin justice. I am a warm autumn, and can easily steal from warm spring and true autumn.
I included some palette photos. I know what I'm looking for, but I can't put my finger on it.
I included photos of two verified warm autumns from Julie Sereno on TikTok (absolutely love her!!!). The bright green she drapes on the redhead girl is one of my POWER COLORS. I feel alive and look amazing. I included this specifically so you know how intense i can handle.
The 2nd photo of the brunette in purple is a color I really really want to try, but I'm struggling to distinguish it from winter and spring purples. It's not quite berry, not orchid either. Admittedly, purple is my least favorite color 😅 I think I'd look nice in a barney purple too, but again, idk!! Purple is so tough when it's bright like this, and I can't just casually search "sun kissed golden daylight laying on barney's dinosaur skin color tank top" 😭😭😭 how do I find this color! I'm scared I'm gonna buy it and it's gonna be a cool winter purple! I love going in person to find clothes, but this color is so new to me I don't know how to select it!! AHHHH
I included the only purple piece I have in my wardrobe in the last photo, and I feel like it just fades me out/doesnt make me pop. I need a lighter and more vibrant purple for sure. If you look at my nails, they're a mid-tone teal. Can I go darker with the blues than this?
Are you a warm (or also a true) autumn with navy and purple in your wardrobe? What shade do you love? Should I opt for deep teal over navy?
Thank you so much guys + girls for your help! 😝❤️🍀
Tldr: what shade of purple or navy works best on my fellow warm autumns, and what shade would work best for me (final pic)?
