“Supermodel Doutzen makes True Summer's cool tones effortless and striking” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Why Doutzen Kroes is a True Summer
True Summer colours have coolness, softness and medium-depth tones. Doutzen Kroes suits, among others, medium blue, dusty rose, teal, soft burgundy and slate grey. The colours look loveliest close in tone. Rust orange, camel and mustard can make the whole look sallow; choose a cool shade. Swap black for graphite or navy when you want depth.
Right & wrong colours
for Doutzen
Flattering
The linen shirt in a cool medium blue brings out her blue eyes, and the cool tone matches the season's coolness.
Why it works
- Cool
- Muted
Less flattering
The rust-orange turtleneck feels heavy close to her face and makes her skin look sallow. Medium blue, dusty rose or teal would have been more flattering.
Why it doesn’t
- Warm
- Bright

True Summer vs
True Winter
It's easy to confuse True Winter and True Summer because both have cool tones. Both have a cool undertone, but True Winter has much more contrast and clarity, while True Summer is somewhat lighter and softer.
