Your 'capsule wardrobe' might be giving 'wrong season' energy. Let's fix that!

Let's have a proper chat about True/Warm Spring colour combinations that'll make your seasonal colour analysis worth every penny. (if you don't know what's True/Warm Spring colour palette, check out our seasonal colour quiz - link in bio🔗)

From turquoise-on-turquoise that would make any monochromatic enthusiast swoon, to that camel coat + ivory + navy combo that's basically the holy trinity of neutral sophistication - we're serving five colour combinations that prove True Spring isn't just about looking like a walking daffodil.

Swipe for a masterclass in True Spring excellence:

1️⃣ Complementary: Coral + warm green + ivory (spring personified)

2️⃣ Triadic: Navy suit meets golden yellow (corporate dress code who?)

3️⃣ Monochromatic: Turquoise on turquoise (because one shade is never enough)

4️⃣ Analogous: Golden yellow + warm orange + coral (aka how to wear sunshine)

5️⃣ Neutral: Camel + warm ivory + navy (because sometimes less really is more)

Pop over to The VOU for our complete True/Warm Spring guide - where we break down every colour combination that'll make your seasonal colour analysis consultant proud. And yes, we did just make seasonal colour analysis actually fun. You can thank us later. ✨

If my colour palette was SPRING… 🌸🌱

Spring colour palette outfits combine warm, clear, and vibrant tones that harmonise with men who have warm undertones and bright complexions.

"Is it oversized or am I just living my best sprezzatura life?" 🤌 - Milan, probably

Our Milanese maestros are doing that ever-so-subtle thing again. While everyone else is playing "how many people can fit in this blazer," the Quadrilatero crew is casually pretending their earth-toned beauties just happened to be a touch more generous this season. How very Italian of them.

sips espresso in Zegna "Volume?" they whisper from behind their Persols, "Oh, you mean this little thing? Just threw it on, barely noticed the size." Classic Milano - making calculated nonchalance look like it rolled out of bed this way xx

Overheard at Pitti: "Why choose between sprezzatura and size when you can master both?" We see what you did there, you clever Brioni-clad creatures.

A chap at Yale once told us his grandfather's definition of New England style: 'Looking perfectly put-together while pretending you've never heard of a mirror.' 🎩

Ever wondered why those New England chaps manage to look so infuriatingly well-dressed while appearing to have never glanced at a fashion magazine? We at The VOU found ourselves positively obsessed with decoding this delightfully contradictory style phenomenon.

Think less 'Instagram prep' and more 'inherited a wardrobe from someone who inherited a wardrobe' - you know, the sort who've been wearing the same style of penny loafers since their great-grandfather's first yacht party.

From wonderfully weathered tweed jackets to Oxford shirts that look like they've witnessed every Harvard-Yale match since 1952, we're spilling all the sartorial secrets of a style that's mastered the art of looking pristinely disheveled.

And remember, if your repp tie doesn't have at least one questionable gravy stain from a regatta luncheon, are you even trying?

Why do 30 perfect pieces outperform a wardrobe of 100? Simple: when each item is chosen with intention, works with your natural coloring, and pairs seamlessly with the rest, getting dressed becomes an art rather than a morning battle.

A True Spring capsule wardrobe is about liberation through careful curation.
