How to Know If You're Really Deep Winter

Deep Winter is the darkest Winter season - cool, deep, and dramatic. Here's how to identify this season.

Signs You're Deep Winter

  • Your overall coloring is dark - dark hair, often dark eyes
  • Deep, rich cool colors make you look powerful
  • Silver jewelry is more flattering than gold
  • You can wear very dark colors without looking washed out
  • Your coloring has depth and coolness simultaneously
  • Light pastels look washed out on you

Common Confusion

Deep Winter is often confused with Deep Autumn. Both have depth, but Deep Winter is cool (cool burgundy, black, pine) while Deep Autumn is warm (warm burgundy, chocolate, olive).

Try a cool burgundy (blue undertone) versus a warm burgundy (brown undertone). Deep Winters look rich and elegant in the cool version. Deep Autumns look better in the warm version.
