Summer Pieces in Your Color Season: How to Shop the New Collection Mindfully

We love building outfits with intention, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to understand your color season. When you choose pieces that naturally harmonize with your skin tone, hair, and eyes, your clothes mix and match effortlessly, and getting dressed becomes a quiet, confidence-building ritual instead of a chore.

Here is how to navigate our latest summer collection through the four main color seasons, so you can choose fewer, better pieces that make you feel like yourself.

Spring: Warm and Bright

Spring coloring is bright, warm, and full of life. If you have golden undertones, bright eyes, and hair that reads as honey blonde, warm brown, or strawberry, you thrive in cheerful, sunlit shades.

• The Rooney Cherry Gingham Midi Dress in Biscuit ($79.00): This warm, earthy biscuit tone feels like sunshine. It’s one of those pieces that offers gentle structure up top while keeping you cool and comfortable all day.
• The Cambria Smocked Waist Maxi Dress in Cream + Green Stripe ($80.00): The crisp cream and lively green stripes perfectly match Spring’s fresh energy.
• The Fienna Ruffle Blouse in Yellow ($24.00): A light and warm-toned piece that pairs effortlessly with your favorite denim shorts for an beautifully yet elevated look
• The Doria Sleeveless Button-Down Midi Dress in Lavender ($53.00): Purple can be tricky for Springs, but this saturated hue fits the bill. It’s light, bright, and features a functional button-down front that makes it incredibly practical for daily life.
• The Solana Patchwork Floral Wide-Leg Pants in Ecru ($57.00): Packed with rich, warm floral tones, these pants give you effortless movement and visual depth.
• The Delia Swiss Dot Maxi Dress in Lemon Water ($59.00): A soft, pale yellow that brings sunlight to Springs but is gentle enough not to overwhelm a Summer palette.
• The Rafferty Mixed Gingham Straight Pants in Tan + Cream ($68.00): A warm, soft neutral base that works beautifully for both Spring and Autumn wardrobes.

How to style them: Balance these warm hero pieces with simple gold jewelry and tan sandals to enhance your natural warmth.

Summer: Muted and Cool

Summers look beautiful in softened, cool-toned shades: powdery blues, gentle lavenders, and cool neutrals. If your skin has rosy undertones and your hair ranges from ash blonde to soft brown, heavy or stark colors can overwhelm you.

• The Delia Swiss Dot Maxi Dress in Airy Blue ($59.00): This soft, calming blue enhances Summer’s gentle contrast. The delicate Swiss dot texture adds a touch of romance without feeling fussy.
• The Davia Boat Neck Midi Dress in Iris ($61.00): A beautiful, muted purple that offers a relaxed-but-flattering shape for casual lunch dates or errands.
• The Elodie Tie Front Blouse & Midi Tiered Skirt Set in Sky ($64.00): This matching set gives you that instant, model-off-duty cohesion while keeping things cool and breathable.
• The Arlen Knit Midi Tank Dress in Olive ($55.00): This cool-toned olive dress is made for real life—unfussy, supportive, and perfect for throwing on when you have thirty seconds to get out the door.
• The Morrison Oversized Stripe Boyfriend Tee in Rose + Blue ($34.00): Cool-toned, soft stripes bring a relaxed, lived-in feel to your casual capsule.
• The Taryn Knit Bodice Midi Dress in Taupe + Ivory ($60.00): Taupe is a staple neutral for Summers: cool, soft, and subtle. The knit bodice and breezy skirt keeps this dress cool and cute for hot weather.
• The Griffin Denim Shorts in Medium Wash ($58.00) and The Haisley Bow Pocket Short ($52.00): Both these shorts sit right in that great light-to-medium color range with a softly faded wash perfect for summers. These shorts will blend seamlessly with the rest of a summer-palette wardrobe. 
• The Soraya Gingham Dress in Dusty Rose ($60.00): This dusty rose sits right on the edge of warm and cool, making it a dreamy, romantic choice for both Autumns and Summers.
• The Delia Swiss Dot Maxi Dress in Lemon Water ($59.00): A soft, pale yellow that brings sunlight to Springs but is gentle enough not to overwhelm a Summer palette.

How to style them: Let these soft hues hold the spotlight. Pair them with minimal silver accessories and cool taupe or white slides.

Autumn: Warm and Soft

Autumn coloring is warm, muted, and full of depth. If you have golden or olive undertones and rich brown, hazel, or warm green eyes, you come alive in deep earth tones and rich, organic textures.

• The Greta Linen Blend Striped Relaxed Pants in Olive + Oatmeal ($39.00): Olive is a classic Autumn staple. These subtly striped pants feel like pajamas but look entirely intentional.
• The Lumi Ribbed Button-Front Knit Tank in Eucalyptus ($37.00): This soft, earthy green tank adds gorgeous texture to a simple jeans-and-tee outfit.
• The Landry Leopard Print Shorts ($42.00): A classic leopard print acts as a rich neutral for Autumns. These shorts bring personality to your daily rotation without sacrificing comfort.
• The Darien Pleated Knit Tank in Chocolate ($43.00): Rich chocolate brown is one of Autumn's best neutrals. The pleated texture handles light beautifully.
• The Bexley Gingham Casual Short in Brown ($40.00): A grounded, easy-to-wear short that pairs perfectly with a simple cream top.
• The Soraya Gingham Dress in Dusty Rose ($60.00): This dusty rose sits right on the edge of warm and cool, making it a dreamy, romantic choice for both Autumns and Summers.
• The Rafferty Mixed Gingham Straight Pants in Tan + Cream ($68.00): A warm, soft neutral base that works beautifully for both Spring and Autumn wardrobes.

How to style it: Layer intentionally by mixing textures—like a ribbed knit tank paired with structured denim or flowy patchwork pants—and finish with warm leather flats.

Winter: Cool and Saturated 

Winter palettes thrive on high contrast, clean lines, and crisp, saturated colors. If you have deep brunette or icy blonde hair paired with bright eyes and cool undertones, true black, navy, and jewel tones are your best friends.

• The Darien Pleated Knit Tank in Midnight Blue ($43.00): A deep, saturated blue that offers a clean, confident feel.
• The Bristal Pants in Black Gingham ($40.00): High-contrast black and white is a Winter classic. The playful gingham pattern adds personality while the rest of the outfit whispers.
• The Calista Tiered Stripe Dress in Green + Blue ($75.00): Bold, confident stripes in rich jewel tones that do all the talking for you.
• The Vea Striped Oversized Tee in Blue Combo ($37.00): Crisp stripes and trim make this an easy go-to for playground meetups or coffee runs.
• The Perdita Dalmatian Graphic Tee in Ivory ($40.00): The stark graphic contrast sings on Winters. This bright palette can never go wrong with the classic black-and-(off-)white combo. 
• The Renna Stripe Boatneck Tank Top in Oatmeal + Navy ($37.00): A classic preppy stripe in a nice dark navy that compliments Winters well.  
• The Dete Washed Short Sleeve + Pleated Pant Set in Pink ($75.00): This cool, bright pink is lovely on winters.

How to style them: Don't be afraid of the contrast. Pair these pieces with a clean, fitted black or white tee, sharp white sneakers, or a bold accessory.

By utilizing a pre-order model, we practice mindful consumption. We produce only what is actually wanted, which eliminates fast-fashion waste and keeps our pricing lower for everyone in our community. You might also notice that we occasionally use stock photos when items first launch; this is simply our way of letting you see the designs and start voting early so we can get production moving without delay. It takes a little longer to arrive at your doorstep, but we promise a thoughtful wardrobe is always worth the wait!
