Purple is a color rarely found in nature - a fact that instantly draws attention to anyone wearing it and sometimes makes it appear artificial. Purple has traditionally represented luxury, royalty, wealth and sophistication; this color of power also has a feminine and romantic appeal
If you're looking to bring a splash of color to your wardrobe for the fall and winter months, the best shade to invest in this season is purple. Stars like Blake Lively, Eva Longoria and Alicia Keys have all been spotted in the power color in recent months. From deep plums to light lavenders, purple reigns as the season's go-to shade
The Perfect Shade of PurpleFrom lilac, magenta and violet to lavender, pomegranate and plum, purple is coloring the world of fashion. This regal hue is making a splash everywhere from runways and Hollywood premiers to city streets.
Pulling off wearing this bold punch of color means selecting the right shade for the occasion and time of day. Here are some tips for matching your mood or occassion with the perfect shade of purple:
Let your passions shine through for a night out on the town - go glam by swathing yourself in deep, rich jewel tones paired with metallic details and accessories.
Opt for less pungent shades such as lilac and lavender for a feminine daytime ensemble.
Add just a dash of the purple trend to any outfit with a purple sash, bolero, tights, belt or shoe.
Be bold with a deep purple coat, trousers, blouse, shift dress or evening gown.
Just remember, we aren’t talking lavender here! The hottest shades of purple for you to wear this season are the darkest. Some people can also get away with brights, but I personally think the more muted shades are better for fall.
