Anyone a Bright Winter? Please can we share notes?

I had House of Colour Analysis and I am the brightest of Bright Winters.

Just wondering if anyone else falls into this category, and if so what you are wearing at the moment, what you've been wearing and any plans for summer wardrobe?

I am hoping to find some true ice colours in the shops but they are very hard to come by.

Pastels! And icy lilac. Always icy lilac.

Ooh! Pastels aren't part of my colour swatch. Proper icy colours are though, yes, but I never find them!

Bumping for you because I'm also a bright winter! Pastels a big no no for me though. Tried on a gorgeous bright red coat in Ted Baker which was a great colour on me but far too long - made me look like a post box according to DD!!

I’m true/jewel winter but wear the ice colours quite a lot for contrast (and I hate emerald and red). Kettlewell is one of the few places I’ve managed to find basics in proper cool-toned icy shades, but most of the items don’t work for my shape/style, so I’m on a constant hunt.

Good shout @Ophy83 those colours are great! The middle one less so, seems a bit summer-y but 1 and 3 I'm going to try on!

@NahNeedsGarlic yes Kettlewell has amazing colours but for my taste the clothes seem a bit dated and maybe more suited to older ladies (sorry no idea of your age!) It's good for basic t-shirts though.

As BW you are bright, cool, leaning dark.
Don't go shopping for light colours.
You can have amazing summer wardrobe in broght colours mixed with white.
Or blocks of bright with some black.

Also, this will sound silly, but try buying your wardrobe in winter and spring, they have bright colours. Summer is always full of dusty shades and autumn is just very warm.
