I adore your always educated and honest opinion. Never ever giving the black and white. Always open to interpretation

I’d love a Uniqlo for the body types video! I’m particularly interested in Soft Classic. Thanks ❤

[@mystical_cello]

Wow this was unbelievably useful for me. Thank you so much to this lady and Merriam❤️

I’d love to see an analysis on Penelope Cruz!

[@Loufi303]

Much enjoyed your analysis 👌🏼🌸

[@kathystclair9485]

She is very beautiful. I love her in colors, but i also thought the photo with the ivory top only was very pretty. Maybe it had a lot to do with the way she was posing? I thought she seemed like a romantic essence about her. I don't think her height was ever mentioned.

[@palomapardo1744]

My mom is a very tiny person (156 cm or something like that) and she always told me that im "tall" and i always view myself as a tall person, but im only 163 cm. And also I´m a soft, always carrying a couple extra kilos, therefore i also tought i was "wide", so my first guess what that I was a soft natural, which only resulted in disaster because I´m not only not tall, but also not wide, therefore for years i wore long unconstructed lines which only drown me :( thank God im on the right track now :)

„Warm blue“? For me that was a clear chroma blue, bright and cold… so confused now… this topic is just so hard to get for some people (me😅)!!! Thank you for the video!❤

[@velmavlogs7693]

I think the blue leans towards turquoise suggesting the presence of green/yellow which warms it up. It’s super clear chroma though, probably more Spring?

[@Elsie90581]

can you make a video defining what pastels,brights,etc are?

[@4264127]

Bright pastels are white with a drop of pigment.or pure color with white not gray added to it 🎉

[@Cicelyize]

I’m confused, because I definitely look miles better in cool contrasted colours like deep blue and navy, deep purple or cool emerald/mint and bottle green, cool burgundy - black and white single colours or patterned stripes are also great- Any warm leaning colour I immediately take off like warm greens or warm terracottas/ oranges and warm beiges- BUT I much prefer gold jewellery over silver in myself (a lighter 9 ct gold though rather than very 24 ct yellow). I’m def olive and I mostly like very neutral makeup colours with muted red lips and those which are cooler leaning definitely better than warm in general- however I have a couple of golden-warm reds that look great. I can do both slightly warm or slightly cool in eyeshadow but anything too cool or too warm eyeshadow wise is not good. I have some green veins in my arms and some blue. My lips have a purplish hue. I think I must be very close to neutrality in the olive axis but not sure if I lean slightly cool or warm. Or whether I’m cool/ neutral but have some golden to my skin.

[@sim771]

It’s a spectrum for sure, no one is perfectly cool or warm. I am very close to neutral, what I do know is that i’m not radiant (i’m warm delicate). It sounds like you already know what looks good on you so don’t keep “scratching the itch” if you don’t need to! For the metal test, gold is very radiant especially yellow and white gold. But by that logic, you probably don’t look good in bronze or copper or steel grey (more muted metals). So yeah, don’t overthink it - go with your gut because ultimately this is to find what looks good on you, not to force a theory until you drive yourself crazy over analyzing. ((Btw I’m warm and muted under this system. I dont have a seasonal colour palette under that approach i dont think. I’m high contrast with non-olive almost truly neutral skin. My wardrobe is almost entirely earthy tones because that i what I personally vibe with most and notice works best on me, but i used to wear way more clear colours and wear brighter jewel tone activewear, i also used to wear silver but now i wear all gold/bronze. It’s an art/science but also don’t stress too much))

[@amanimagra1114]

Lol I'm similar to you, except I'm rosy. I prefer bright cool colors (pale blues, purples and greens) on me, but I definitely look warm, gold is so much better and most warm colours look good on me although they're not my best. My conclusion was that darker colors were my worst, so i just needed to try brighter ones. For example I love salmon on me, but i tried a slightly yellow beige once and it looked so off. I have no idea.

[@sim771]

@@amanimagra1114yellow beige doesn’t really look good on anyone, except maybe really deep rich skintones. Otherwise it makes everyone look sick because that is essentially the colour people turn when they are (sallow). Salmon is a healthy looking colour since it’s the colour of flushed skin. Salmon is also midtone with a lot of darker shades and lighter shades so it’s quite flattering on most people. If you like how it looks, then go for it! That’s amazing since it’s a great colour. Light peach 🍑 vs 🩰 ballet pink is a good test. That will really show what looks good (radiant will look bad in both, delicate would look good in both or one). So an example for me, light baby yellow looks bad on me - but that’s partly because my essence is not cute/girly so almost all pastel baby colours look off on me. Neon yellow looks worse on me, essentially all neons look bad on me since they are too bright. Almost everyone will be able to wear midtone colours because they have just enough of everything on the colour spectrums (chroma, hue, etc.) to work. So they are pretty safe and that is what makes it confusing. But those extreme colours like pastels, jewels, earthy and neons are where the obvious distinctions lie.

i feel like warm and radient archetype look dull in muted warm colors . Just my observation , please correct me if I am wrong .

Hey Merriam, Do you consult men? I want to dress better and have a better understanding and direction of what fits me.

[@merriamstyle]

Yes, I do! You can book through merriamstyle.com as anyone else would. Body types are only a set of lines, they are not gender/sex specific.

[@ijmimi9186]

Warm radiant high contrast = Spring ... bright spring to be specific. Warm soft high contrast = Autumn.

[@dahliaherrod4301]

How do you have high contrast if the colors are soft? Wouldn't it be more like medium contrast?

[@Xana_K]

As far as I know, autumn's are soft, warm, and medium to deep depth. Springs are bright, warm, and light to medium depth. Depends what palette is used. I've seen that Bright springs, however, can and do have deep hair and eyes as their sister season is bright winter. Their main characteristic is brightness = high contrast :)

[@autumnleaves-77]

I don't understand how theatrical romantic cannot have blonde hair? I'm a TR with warm blonde hair and very light blonde brows and lashes

[@merriamstyle]

Oh, not at all, TR can easily have any coloration, but overlightening the hair if it's not your natural hair color is what's unflattering for TR. if blonde is the TR's natural hair color then it will look lovely.

This lady is too light skinned for average Indian brown skin. Could you do a video with darker olive skinned Indians. India/ Pakistan has very dark to very light brown skin east to west north to south
