Good to know: What defines the Spring Type?

The Spring Type has fair skin that appears golden and rosy. A slight yellowish undertone may also be present. In addition to fair skin, hair colors range from light blonde and light brown to reddish nuances.


Typical characteristics of the Spring Type:

  • Skin: Fair, golden rosy, possibly with a yellowish undertone
  • Hair: Light blonde, light brown, or reddish nuances
  • Hair texture: Rather fine, difficult to style
  • Tanning: Barely tans
  • Eyes: Light green or light brown
  • Special features: Possible freckles

Also, in most cases, the hair is rather fine and difficult to style. But the definition of the spring type goes even further.


The typical tanning problem:

Do you know this: You lie in the outdoor pool for hours wanting to get a tan, but your skin hardly takes on any brown color? This is also a typical characteristic of spring types.


Other signs include light green or light brown eyes plus possible freckles. More about all color types you can find out in our det

The gold jewelry test

Are you unsure if you are a spring type? No problem, because there is a simple and quick self-test:


How the test works:

  1. Hold some gold jewelry up to your face
  2. Then some silver jewelry
  3. Compare the effect

If the gold jewelry suits you better and the silver jewelry makes you look pale, you are a warm color type, specifically the spring type.


Interpreting the result:

  • Gold suits you better: You are a warm color type (spring or autumn)
  • Silver suits you better: You are a cool color type (summer or winter)

Spring type colors: these colors suit you

Now that you can be sure you're a spring type, you can focus on spring type colors. If you're unsure whether your favorite colors are included, we can reassure you.

Because: The color palette for the spring type is extensive and very versatile.


Dos – These colors are perfect


As a spring type, Dirndls in soft colors like apricot or champagne will suit you particularly well. But also fresh colors like lime green or turquoise. It's important that they are warm colors with a high yellow content. Then they harmonize particularly well with your skin tone.


You should wear the following shades in the future to emphasize your natural beauty:

Shades of green

Brown and gold tones

Shades of blue

Shades of red


As a humorous mnemonic, you can remember: Colors whose names include food items (salmon, apricot, cognac) suit you particularly well. These colors will make you look fresher – try it out. You'll be delighted.

Don'ts – Avoid these colors


You should avoid dark, heavy colors like black or dark brown, as they will make you look pale – literally. Instead, opt for a Dirndl in dark blue; it's softer and flatters you much better.


You should avoid these colors as a spring type:

  • Black: Too harsh, makes you look pale
  • Pure white: Too cold, opt for ecru or champagne instead
  • Harsh, strong colors: Pink, azure blue, bright red
  • Light pastels: Make your complexion look sallow
  • Cool berry tones: Don't suit your warm skin tone
  • Dark Brown: Too dark for your fair complexion

Better Alternatives:

You should completely avoid strong, vibrant colors like pink or azure blue. Light pastel shades will also make your complexion look sallow.


Instead of a white blouse, you should combine your Dirndl with an ecru Dirndl blouse. For a particularly elegant look, you can also choose a Dirndl blouse with lace in a delicate gold tone.
