Dark Aesthetics for Springs | Bright Spring, True Spring, Light Spring

[@kurrristin]

Dark spring aesthetic makes me think of faeries 😍

[@silkymochi]

Yes it does! But I was going to talk about dark fairy looks for the Summer but Spring and Summer oftentimes can take inspiration from one another!

[@kurrristin]

​@@silkymochiohhh i'm a summer so that's exciting 🤩😊

[@silkymochi]

Think "midsummers nights dream" ✨

[@k.285]

Would love a winter version, as a dark winter that doesn’t like makeup or jewelry, I’m struggling to look dark.

[@silkymochi]

Oh absolutely there will be! As a Winter, I know black already looks natural on us so looking alt/dark has its difficulties because black looks normal on us but dont worry I got a variety of things to discuss on that thats not just makeup & bat jewelry (even though I do like those lol)

[@rachaelgardner718]

same i’m also a dark winter and i find it so hard to to look dark

[@janaSkadhi]

Bright spring in denial here and I have to say, thank you so much for making this! I feel newly inspired to experiment. I always felt this jarring mismatch between the colors that look good on me and my personality/preferences, but the examples you gave aren't gaudy at all. I actually feel encouraged to embrace the brightness. ❤

[@silkymochi]

Awww Im glad! I wanted one show Springs have a lot to choose from!

[@ameliaparker5835]

Would love to see a summer version of this video… interested to hear your thoughts. Love your channel… you genuinely are making content I haven’t been able to find anywhere else! Keep at it 🌟

[@silkymochi]

Yes! Summer is next in queue! And thank you 🥹 Im trying to make videos I wished I saw years ago when I was honing in on what I want my signature style to be & the views on dark aesthetics felt so limited

[@tulipsalinger1410]

I like your bangs, I tried to picture you with curtain bangs and couldn't imagine it, the bangs you have now frame your fabulous face to perfection! Also this was a great post and I enjoyed it all the way to the very end!

[@silkymochi]

Thats so sweet and thank you! I used to have curtain bangs and it looks "off" on me lol I either like microbangs or no bangs 😂 and thank you for watching all the way through!

[@tulipsalinger1410]

I am a spring buy I really feel most myself in black, black is my happy color. I will on occasion wear a springy colored scarf around my neck with my black outfit.

[@LadyMisrule]

Your videos are so inspiring. Looking forward to the autumn version 😊

[@silkymochi]

Thats so sweet thank you 🥹 already have that one planned!

[@susanmcdowell2499]

Sorry to hear, I hope you are feeling better.. really appreciate your content so specific and thought through. I'm not quite sure what season know I'm medium to dark, clear and likely neutral...so found these tips useful.. I always like my outfits to have a little bit of quirk ...this gave me some ideas. Love the celebrity examples. Thanks again

[@silkymochi]

Thank you so much! And feeling much better 🖤 and maybe as I continue this series it'll be more clear which one you resonate with the most because thats what I did - I watched a multitude of color season videos then tried all these colors/tones in person, also asking a second opinion!

[@AR-to4ou]

Hello, thank you so much for making this video! I think I am a Warm Spring. I have a gothic style from my teens & 20s. Now in my 30s I fell into a style slump. I felt I had to begrudgingly give up looking gothic to look better or in my style season. I scoured the internet for any guidance or inspiration likely being a Warm Spring who did not want to fully give up their long time gothic aesthetic but found nothing and felt worse. Your ideas helped me so very much. 🖤🖤🖤

[@silkymochi]

This absolutely warms my heart because I get it! Hoping to be the dark aesthetic rep I also wished I had when I was looking on the internet too - I love how vast dark aesthetics are so be on the look out for much more

[@biza2571]

Thank you! Hoping for autumn edition 🙂

[@silkymochi]

This is absolutely the start of a series so don't worry there will be 🖤

[@name8220]

Also notice how they have a gap between the dark colors? Not close to their face

[@silkymochi]

I can see that, like open neck tops in black can work on Springs a little easier than like a heavy crew neck

[@SofiaCalotti]

Thank you! As a light spring this is what I was looking for! I don't even necessarily want and suit a very dark, edgy or goth aesthetic, but a bit more indie, quirky alt instead of the ingenue style (which is very easy to find for light springs imo). The dark academia aesthetic might give me some ideas. And because you mentioned vintage styles, maybe sixties mod might be nice too??

[@silkymochi]

Oh absolutely mod! Vintage 50s & 60s look amazing in Springs, the colors of that time are warm & vibrant - in many ways we don't see true vintage styles often, we see it "dressed in a modern way" so going full force with mod is actually a great way to about a quirky alt look!

[@Minamibam]

Please do a soft autumn version!

[@keepitmoving1119]

Mia Wasikowska in the movie Jane Eyre also has that dark academia feel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips. I hope you’ll be feeling better. Let’s hope the new moon brings you new energy.

[@silkymochi]

I havent seen it yet but Im adding it to my list! And thank you so much 🖤 ironic how I fell & hit my head during the lunar eclipse weekend 🥲

[@annominous11]

Thank you for this video!!! I’m a light spring and have had a dark aesthetic but worry if black makes my under eyes look bad, especially as I get older. 90s grunge and whimsigoth are aesthetics I get pretty excited about (dark academia not so much). This was definitely the inspo I needed. Hope you recover from your head injury quickly. Would love to get a style analysis when you have slots open. :)

[@silkymochi]

Thank you for watching! Im glad whimsigoth and 90s grunge / runway resonated- understandable on Dark Academia but I liked to add variety where I can lol My head is all good now! No more headaches and Im just careful with that part of my head for now and I will announce on my community tab here, instagram stories and Tiktok when my slots are back open 🖤

[@marcellabastos3933]

Literally a week ago I was looking for a video that talked about the spring color season in a dark aesthetic kinda way Thanks sm for this video but I would like to address that not everyone who has “dark features” are going to automatically fit in a dark season category, actually it might a stereotype. People who have dark features can belong to any color season, from cool to warm, light to dark etc., sometimes even though they have those features, it does not necessarily mean that it is the only predominant trait of them. There are people of color who are springs, summers etc. Thanks for your content anyways, wish you a great day!

[@silkymochi]

Thank you! And I apologize if I came off that way but I understand not all dark seasons are for dark features, thats why I did included variety when I showing some of the aesthetics like the runway images I chose were of women I thought were of the Spring Color seasons - I didnt want to focus too much on celebrity examples either because we already lack diversity in Hollywood and also those with Dark Aesthetics I think it might have been misunderstood but I meant Darker seasons like Dark Autumns and Winters have a Dark Aesthetic I dont mean dark features I mean Alternative aesthetics, I try not to call these "goth aesthetics" since goth is music subculture so thats why I call them Dark Aesthetics Also this wasnt meant to be a video on how to find your color season, hopefully this all made sense!

[@RascallyMoon9]

Welcome back, I'm glad you're feeling better

[@silkymochi]

Thank you so much 🖤

[@efstathiakositzidou2490]

I am glad you feel better.Take good care of your health ❤❤

[@silkymochi]

Awww thank you! And I will, these past few weeks forced me to up my vitamin intake and really take it easy 😭

[@ramen3799]

Glad your feeling better! Keep up the amazing videos 🥹🖤

[@silkymochi]

Aww thank you 🖤🥹

[@figgyfatale]

Please do a Dark Winter please 🖤

[@silkymochi]

Oh definitely there will be!

[@figgyfatale]

@@silkymochi thank you!! And are you filipino too?

[@silkymochi]

And I am!! 🖤

[@figgyfatale]

@@silkymochi ah yay happy to chat with you! Thanks for the content you make

[@silkymochi]

@@figgyfatale awww I appreciate you, have a great week!

[@Just_Kirsty]

Thank you so much for this video. I am a light spring and I tried loving my color palette, but even though I can see that these colors flatter my complexion, I feel like I am wearing a costume. I do like wearing my darkest neutrals, but I still feel the urge to just wear black, dark grey and burgundy (aka my worst colors). I do feel at home in pleather and silver and feel weird in typically feminine looks (even though I know how to style my body to make it look amazing, it just doesn't feel like myself). I love wearing men's clothes, oversized clothes, boyfriend cuts and just overall darkness. And the way you described the feel and look of a light spring wearing dark colors is exactly what I like. I think I overcomplicated "finding my style within my color season" way too much. Because my style just isn't in my color season. It's outside the box and just feels right to me. If I watch something like "queen of the damned", I feel at home (also listening to the soundtrack of it just feels like home). I am just not like that light airy type of ethereal person or bubble gum pastel princess. I do also love the aesthetics of Shadowhunters (especially Magnus Bane) and the way Adam Lambert dressed during his "If I had you" or "Better than I know myself" phases, you know? And yes my hair is blonde, but I wear it in a short pixie with an undercut and textured bangs, so also not a very typically feminine style.

[@lacylove5185]

Queen! omg these videos are amazing.

[@silkymochi]

Omg youre amazing, thank you 🖤

[@sophi460]

Glad you’re feeling better, Nicole Kidman in practical witch I really want a green dress like that one I loved the video even not being about my season

[@silkymochi]

Oh absolutely! Im not a Spring and I still loved her looks in Practical Magic 🖤 thrifting or looking up 90s velvet dresses have helped finding similar styles - if youre more cool toned I think a cool toned emerald green or a purple could also have the same effect!

[@silkymochi]

Oh and thank you! Im feeling much better, im learning to take it easy and vitamin c helps the healing process go by faster lol

[@sophi460]

@@silkymochi thanks I’m actually a true summer(I think at least) so I’m gonna do that

[@evat7723]

ooh Debbie Harry! Yes!

[@samsharp1263]

i first found your tik toks and now im enjoying your youtube channel, keep up the great work 😀

[@silkymochi]

Awww Im glad you made it here, thank you 🖤

[@froxyanicotti]

Now I'm in the mood for kona coffee mochi.

[@silkymochi]

One of the best flavors along with matcha ✨

[@angelinam5546]

would looove an autumn version

[@silkymochi]

There absolutely will be one! This is a new series and Ill be making them in order 🖤

[@shironerisilk]

So hyped for Autumn, love your insights so much, you go really deep!

[@silkymochi]

Awww thank you! 🖤🖤🖤

[@kirstenbakker839]

I loved this video! Will you be doing videos for the other 3 seasons? (As a light summer, classic type, I could use some dark esthetic styling tips that do not make me look like a washed out clown 🤡)

[@silkymochi]

I absolutely will be doing the other seasons (and in order so Summers will be next!) 🖤

[@helnajsverdi8888]

Thanks for this video, I'm Spring but I love Gothic style

[@michim2851]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OMG 😭 i've been struggling as a true spring theatrical romantic who's more drawn to dark aesthetics 😅

[@silkymochi]

I'm so glad you enjoyed 🖤🖤🖤

[@ImariMeyer]

So glad you made this! And that you’re feeling better I’d love to see a dark aesthetic guide for summers!!!

[@silkymochi]

Coming soon and thank you 🖤🖤🖤

[@Viborasi]

This video made me think of Lauren Ambrose's character in the tv show "Servant", Dorothy. I love her styling and believe she was given a spring palette in the show, which not only suits her, but looks surprisingly good with the dark and mysterious mood of this goth dramedy series. For dark mood and horror lovers, this show is a must see! I'm looking forward to the autumn episooode 🦋

[@notyourordinaryhousecat]

I appreciate how you bring nuance to this style conversation 🖤🖤🖤 keep it up! :)

[@silkymochi]

Awww thank you 🖤

[@Minamibam]

I love your bangs they look very harmonious with your features :)

[@Bolin_Cupcake]

I love your vídeos! I would like to know if your style guide (body type + face essence) will come back to your shop in December or 2024!

[@coreniena]

I NEED ONE FOR SUMMERSSSSSSSSSSSS PLS I love my true summer palete but i love black as well i wish I could use it more ;-;

[@silkymochi]

Oh dont worry! All seasons are in my video queue this year 👀

[@MP-il8ys]

Thank you!!! I’ve been struggling to figure this out! All the dark and moody colors I like make me look sick 😂

[@Alicealexandra4]

Thank you for this! I got my analysis done today and almost died finding out i was a spring! This helps a ton tyty

[@aninamonsoon]

Could you please do a similar video for the summer season? I used to look like Dita von Teese with my black hair and pale skin, but now that I grew out my dark blond hair and started to tan, I've realized I'm a soft summer...

[@silkymochi]

I absolutely will!

[@allieF714]

Love love your channel! I hope you are doing a lot better with your head injury, any kind of Injury especially head is serious. So take your time to heal. I would ♥️ A style guide. I know I will get one in the near future. Btw I know not asking but ur bangs I love! 😊

[@silkymochi]

Awww thank you so so much! Yes my head is doing much better, it was quite a time in my life (never been that badly injured) but I'm functioning now! Style Guides reopen 2/23 but 2/21-22 for $1+ Patreon tiers but thank you so much for just being here, my love language is words of affirmation & I am feeling so loved thank you 🖤🖤🖤

[@YearOnACloud]

I would love a summer version! My skin is definitely more olive-toned, muted, but more on the medium skin tone range than the usual description of summers. My natural hair color is pretty dark, it's close to black. Most POC get typed as either winters or autumns which is what confused me but I think I lean neutral-cool with olive undertones. I still haven't had my personal color analysis but I definitely do want to learn how to incorporate your dark Kitchener essence series with your color season series for dark essences :)

[@CatherineSylvester-us5fw]

Please do summer!! 😂🙏

[@silkymochi]

Its definitely in my queue! I cant guarantee when but I promise I will cover all seasons in dark aesthetics!

[@hidanist]

I love this series, hoping for winters soon 🌸

[@lafemmeterrible4224]

Love your videos and can't wait for the winter group ;)

[@ellle-o4j]

What lipstick are you wearing? I love that shade 😍

[@silkymochi]

Thank you! Its Huda Beauty in Trophy wife with a little bit of Bare Minerals gloss on top in Enlightenment 🖤

[@xyz-jv9df]

As a bright winter, I am assuming u would eventually cover the bright winters too

[@silkymochi]

I will cover all season's eventually 🖤

[@nathenaeum]

That’s a vid that truly fills a gap! 🖤 Loved all the inspiration. Also I would like to add that a bright spring can actually sport glossy blacks (latex, patent leather, shiny (faux) leather, shiny silk) because here the texture/finish upgrades black into bright spring’s luminous territory.

[@silkymochi]

Oooo yes! The glossy and I think sheer/organza blacks still look amazing on Springs and even Summers!

[@nathenaeum]

@@silkymochi could be pefect for Light seasons, yeah. Sheer for Bright - it depends. As long as it's primarily shiny AND contrasting, yes, but it must not look matte or "greyed out".

[@RuviGaPo]

It's tru wearing black as a spring is Really like Oh yep goth 😂

[@silkymochi]

😂 Im low key of jealous of Springs for this

[@GhostinaSpell]

We need this for all the Color Seasons if I’m being honest 🥹

[@silkymochi]

I will 🥹🖤 working on it! I have A LOT in my video recording queue lol

[@eduardavieira9807]

I would looove a summer version! As a true summer with low contrast, so lots of muted tones in my palette, I'm rlly interested to see my season be portrayed as a dark aesthetic.
