Is there anything better than being cozy on a cold day? (IMHO looking great while doing it is the obvious next level.) I get so many questions about how to wear colors a during a season that isn't YOUR season, I thought it was time to talk about it. (Also, that's where your Glow Guide comes in; you can use your palette to find colors for every season.) So let's get into it...
Winter colors get a lot of attention for a reason. They have crisp contrast, icy brights, and moody depth that feel cozy and chic. That does not mean they are only for the Winter color season. With a little finesse every season can wear winter colors beautifully.
Summer Color Seasons
Remember, you're a softie at heart. So keep contrast gentle. Try an icy lilac scarf with a soft navy coat or a charcoal sweater with silver jewelry. Think frost not snowstorm. Your colors should stay misty and effortless rather than stark.

- Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater (Quince, $50): soft cashmere gives winter texture. Choosing heather grey or navy will keep it soft enough for a Summer.
- L.L.Bean Baxter State Winter Parka (L.L.Bean, $350): zero chance you will be cold in this. Get Midnight Navy for cool structure that reads winter while staying Summer friendly.
- Madewell Medium Silk Bandana (Madewell, $68): accents from your color palette that can bump up any outfit, add another layer, and get your perfect color close to your face.
Autumn
Lean into warmth and texture. Try a wine berry sweater under a deep pine coat. Add olive or orange accessories for quiet contrast. Choose champagne instead of bright white near your face so the look stays grounded and glowy.

- Quince Organic Cotton Cashmere Crewneck (Quince, about $29.90): a cozy base knit that carries a winter inspired deep shade with Autumn richness.
- L.L.Bean Ultrawarm Coat, Long (L.L.Bean, $320): dark green gives winter level function and depth that suits Autumn. Because a black coat is boring AF.
- Boden Houndstooth Blanket Scarf (Boden, price varies): This stunning, classic pattern in natural/navy will suit you perfectly while being utterly practical and last season-after-season.
- Free People Over The Coat Shawl (Free People, $58): an easy layer in soft or bright tones that adds winter flavor without weight.
Spring
Borrow the structure of winter and keep the mood bright. A clear navy jacket pairs beautifully with frosty mint or champagne. Add a small crimson pop at the lip or in a knit for energy. Keep fabrics lighter so the look feels buoyant.
