“Kate shows that Light Spring can be both bohemian and radiant” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Light Spring colours are light, warm and sun-kissed. Kate Hudson suits, among others, coral, light turquoise, ivory, sky blue and peach. Dark, cool colours and hard contrasts can take away some of her glow, while airy, warm tones let her shine. Black easily becomes too harsh against Light Spring; choose camel, warm taupe or light navy instead. Golden, honey-warm tones in the hair lift the season.
Flattering
The light turquoise silk camisole gives her face a glow and makes her eyes shine, and the light, warm tone matches the season.
Why it works
Less flattering
A black polo neck and a black blazer create too hard a contrast for Light Spring, so her face looks pale and flat. A light, warm colour would have brought back her glow.
Why it doesn’t
Warm ivory and camel are softer than black and white, even on stage
Light blue with light jeans and camel makes a fresh everyday base
A little make-up is enough: peach blush, coral gloss and brown mascara keep Light Spring fresh
It's easy to confuse Light Spring and Light Summer because both look light and fresh. Both seasons are light and relatively low-contrast. The difference is temperature: Light Spring is warm, while Light Summer is cool. Light Summer's colour palette features cool pastels with touches of blue and grey, while Light Spring's colours have more golden and peachy tones.
