You're one of the few types who can wear pure black, pure white, and vivid colors without looking overdone.

How to Know If You're Really True Winter

True Winter is the boldest Winter season - high contrast, cool, and dramatic. Here's how to identify this season.

Signs You're True Winter

You have high contrast - often dark hair with light skin, or very striking coloring
Bold, vivid colors look natural on you, not overdone
Silver jewelry is dramatically more flattering than gold
You can wear pure black and pure white together and look amazing
Your coloring is striking and clear, never soft or muted
True red, royal blue, and emerald green are among your best colors

Common Confusion

True Winter is often confused with Bright Spring. Both can wear vivid colors, but Winter needs cool undertones (fuchsia, true red, emerald) while Spring needs warm (coral, orange-red, warm turquoise).

Try a true red (blue-based) versus a tomato red (orange-based). True Winters look amazing in the cool true red but off in the warm tomato. Bright Springs are the opposite.

Shopping Tips for True Winter

Bold, cool, saturated colors are your signature
Black is a wardrobe staple for you - embrace it
Silver and platinum are your best jewelry metals
Avoid earthy, muted, or warm-toned stores/brands entirely

Frequently Asked Questions About True Winter

What are True Winter's power colors?

True red, emerald green, royal blue, fuchsia, pure black, and pure white are your most striking colors. These bold, cool, saturated colors make your coloring come alive.

Can True Winter wear any warm colors?

True Winter should generally avoid warm colors. Cool versions of 'warm' colors (like blue-red instead of orange-red, or pine green instead of olive) work much better than genuinely warm tones.

What makeup suits True Winter best?

True red lipstick, bold black liner, cool pink blush, and silver or cool-toned highlighter. You're one of the few types who can wear really bold makeup and look balanced rather than overdone.

Is True Winter the same as Clear Winter?

Different systems use different names. True Winter and Clear Winter generally refer to the same season - the boldest, highest-contrast Winter with the clearest, most vivid colors.
