WHEN SEASONAL COLOURS ARE NOT YOUR COLOURS ( And what to do about it)





As you may know by now, I am not a huge advocate of rigidly sticking to having your colours “done”—those that supposedly suit you and should be the only ones you wear. Sure, they can serve as a helpful guide, and that’s why in the MasterClass on colour combinations, I always include one slide about understanding your colours. However, I clarify that this is not the sole focus of how I work.

Yes, a colour palette is involved, but it’s one that you genuinely like—one that is versatile and aligns with your mood, personality, and unique vibe.


COMMON SCENARIO:


Here’s a common scenario I’ve encountered: I work with a woman who previously had her colours “done.” At first, she gets excited about it and invests in clothes from specific brands recommended to her, brands that offer pieces in “her colours.” But then the reality hits.


Since most of us shop from high-street stores, it becomes tricky when seasonal trends introduce colours that don’t fit “your palette.” Suddenly, you might feel like there’s nothing out there to buy that excites you. Where have “your colours” gone?

Are you supposed to change your palette every season? How do you adapt what you already have to this season’s colours?

In many wardrobes I’ve seen, this rigid adherence to a specific palette often leads to prioritizing colour over personal style, which should never be the case. The result? Wardrobes filled with pieces that don’t truly feel like you. This often leads to frustration, a lack of confidence in what to wear, and ultimately, wasted clothes that don’t get worn or end up being discarded.

To help you navigate this, here are five ways to approach seasonal colours when they aren’t part of your palette.


ADAPTING AND EVOLVING


1- Embrace the Season, Not the Frustration


Start by acknowledging that seasonal colours don’t always suit everyone’s natural palette. While it can be frustrating to see a trending colour that doesn’t work for you, I assure you that you can still enjoy the season's spirit by adapting trends thoughtfully.

 

2- Highlight Seasonal Colors in Small Accents


Use trending colours in smaller doses, like accessories or jewellery, rather than major wardrobe pieces. For instance:

Scarves, hats, or belts in the season’s colours can add a trendy touch without overpowering their natural palette.

3- Remember, there are always trending neutrals.


We tend to focus on the colourful, but remember every season there are also about five or six neutrals that go with the colourful ranges.

The trending neutrals will likely find a good pair in your colourful wardrobe.

4- Ground the Trend

Layer trending colours over your existing neutrals. By grounding the trend colour in a solid, reliable neutral, you can create a balanced, sophisticated look that feels current without fully committing to colour outside your palette.

5- Keep the Trend Below the Belt


When it comes to colours that don’t suit your palette, placing them on the bottom half of your outfit is a clever way to incorporate trends while maintaining a harmonious look.

Pair your trendy bottom pieces with tops in shades that flatter your skin tone. For example:

  • If your palette leans cool, you can pair blues (from your palette) with a cool shade of grey in the seasonal shades, navy and brown are also a good combination.

  • If your palette leans warm, try wearing rain forest colour tops with trendy bottoms like sunburn or camel, which never goes out of style.

6- Celebrate Your Style, First

If by the time you had your colours done, you focused on your style first, you already had a huge advantage. Clean lines, structure pieces, whatever your fit and style is, if you followed that at the time, and then you found the right piece in a colourful shade, it is very likely it still feels modern, since it is clean style.


When having your colours done, especially if they are bright colours, it’s best to keep them in timeless styles so when it comes to changes in seasonal colours, you won’t feel like you have to change your entire wardrobe, since those pieces are classic and they will always feel like YOU.


Style is personal, and adapting trends should be fun, not frustrating. Stay focused on what makes you feel authentic and confident. After all, style is about expression, and trends are just tools to explore it.
You don’t have to abandon your style goals to feel modern and on-trend.

Comments

  • Do I need to be actively involved in the process once I purchase the Style Breakthrough service?
    Yes. This service is designed for individuals who are truly ready to commit to discovering their authentic style and breaking free from impulsive, unfulfilling purchases. We work with clients who are at a stage in their lives where they want a more intentional and sustainable approach to their wardrobe. By trusting the process and fully engaging in it, you’ll achieve lasting results—a style that feels effortless, cohesive, and truly you.
  • Will I have to get rid of all my clothes?
    Not at all! The goal is to work with what you already have and refine your wardrobe, not to start from scratch. We’ll assess what truly aligns with your style, what can be repurposed, and what might not be serving you anymore. The process is about intention—curating a wardrobe that supports your style, not just replacing everything for the sake of it.
  • Will the Style Breakthrough service change me into someone I’m not?
    Absolutely not! This service isn’t about forcing you into a specific style or making you dress in a way that doesn’t feel like you. Instead, it’s about uncovering and refining the style that already aligns with who you are at this stage of your life. Think of it as a process of self-discovery—one that empowers you to feel more confident, authentic, and in control of your wardrobe. You won’t be told what to wear; rather, you’ll gain clarity on what truly resonates with you, so getting dressed feels effortless and right for you. This is about embracing your style, not changing it into something it’s not.
  • Do I need to be passionate about fashion to benefit from the Style Breakthrough service?
    Not at all! The Style Breakthrough is for anyone who wants to feel confident and authentic in what they wear—whether or not they follow fashion trends. However, this service is about more than just clothes; it’s about shifting your mindset around style and shopping. To truly benefit, you need to be open to change. If you’re ready to break free from old shopping habits, stop wasting money on pieces that don’t work, and build a wardrobe that reflects who you are, this process will give you clarity and confidence. But this may not be the right fit if you’re looking for a quick fix without a commitment to real change. Style isn’t about following rules—it’s about redefining your relationship with your wardrobe and embracing a new way of dressing that truly serves you.
  • Is the Style Breakthrough service only for people who feel lost in their style?
    Not at all! While the service is perfect for those who feel disconnected from their wardrobe, it’s also designed for anyone who wants to refine, refresh, or evolve their personal style. Whether you’re going through a life transition, seeking a more cohesive wardrobe, or simply wanting to shop with more confidence and clarity, the Style Breakthrough will help you build a wardrobe that truly represents you. It’s about making style effortless, authentic, and aligned with who you are—wherever you are on your style journey.
  • Why should I book the Style Simplified session instead of jumping straight into a full service?
    The Style Simplified session is a great starting point because it allows you to gain essential insight into your wardrobe and style goals, without committing to a larger service right away. If you’re not sure where to begin or feel overwhelmed by the thought of a full transformation, this session helps break things down into manageable steps. Think of it as a powerful checkpoint that gives you the information you need to move forward with confidence—whether you choose to continue working together or implement the insights on your own. If you’re ready for a shift but need help figuring out where to focus, this session is your ideal first step.
  • What can I expect to gain from the Style Simplified session?
    n this session, you’ll gain clarity on your current wardrobe’s strengths and weaknesses, a deeper understanding of your shopping and style habits, and a personalized action plan for moving forward. You’ll walk away with key takeaways that will help you avoid wasting money on pieces that don’t serve you and begin creating a wardrobe that aligns with your authentic self. It’s a highly informative session, and by the end, you’ll feel empowered to make better shopping decisions and be clear on the direction your wardrobe needs to go to reflect who you truly are.
  • I feel overwhelmed by my closet. Can the Style Simplified session help me with that?
    Yes! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your closet, the Style Simplified session is a great way to gain clarity. This session helps you break down your wardrobe in a calm, guided way so you can understand what’s truly working and what needs to go. We’ll focus on simplifying your approach to style, making the whole process less stressful and more aligned with what actually feels good for you. However, please note that we need to focus on one season at a time. If you have a large wardrobe, we’ll begin by breaking down your favorite pieces, and I’ll provide exercises to help you continue the process on your own. The goal is to create a manageable, actionable plan for your wardrobe that’s tailored to your current needs. By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident and in control, with a clearer understanding of how to move forward without feeling bogged down by unnecessary items or decisions. This session is a starting point, not a complete wardrobe overhaul, but you’ll have the tools and insights to carry on organizing and refining your closet with ease.
  • What if I don’t like the style you suggest for me?
    There’s no one-size-fits-all “look” that I impose on clients. This process is collaborative, and everything is built around your personality, preferences, and lifestyle. You’ll be involved every step of the way, ensuring that your final style direction feels natural and authentic to you. My role is to guide, refine, and bring clarity—not to dictate or change who you are.
  • What is a Wardrobe Audit?
    A Wardrobe Audit is a deep assessment of your current wardrobe to ensure it aligns with your personal style, offers versatility, and works cohesively as a whole. This process isn’t about discarding everything you own—it’s about understanding what serves you, what doesn’t, and how to create a more intentional, well-balanced collection of pieces that truly reflect who you are. Using a structured methodology, we evaluate your wardrobe for consistency in style, cohesiveness, variation, and balance—even if those terms don’t mean much to you yet, don’t worry! The process is designed to give you clarity on what works, what’s missing, and how to make getting dressed effortless. By the end of the audit, you’ll gain a clearer sense of direction, ensuring every piece in your wardrobe contributes to a style that feels natural and empowering. If you’re tired of feeling like your closet is full of clothes but nothing quite works together, this is the step that will change that. Check out the Style Simplified one-hour session, which will give you a taste of an Audit today and start building a wardrobe that truly works for you!

  • I’ve tried finding my style before, but nothing sticks. How is this different?

If you’re open to rethinking how you see your wardrobe and willing to step out of your old patterns, you’ll come out of this experience with a completely new mindset. However, if you’re not yet ready to let go of past habits, this may not be the right time for you—and that’s okay! The best results come when you’re fully committed to embracing change.
