Purple is a beautiful and luxurious color. It has made a strong appearance in fashion in the past few years. With fall and winter fast approaching, it is sure to be a big hit again. The red and blue hues of purple make it a great choice for almost every skin tone. So, if you haven’t jumped on the purple bandwagon, these tips may give you the extra nudge that you need.
For a conservative look, pair purple with neutrals like black or dark gray. These combinations will allow you to mix and match a few purple pieces with most of your work attire and sweater vests. If blue is your color, pair it with navy as well. Pairing purple with dark neutrals is a safe but stylish option.
Purple and green are best friends. That is why Mother Nature made so many purple flowers surrounded by vibrant greenery. There is no limit to how you pair purple and green as long as you have taste. If you question your fashion sense, this isn’t necessarily the time to experiment with lime green. As a guideline, try to keep the darkness of the two colors either matching or contrasting.
Purple is a great time to play with prints. If you can find prints with the same purple you are wearing, that will be great, but don’t limit yourself by expecting a perfect match. Purple can take a lot. A wild print casual pant will often look great with a simple purple top.
No matter what you pair purple with, purple should lay a prominent role in your makeup as well. Using purple eyeshadow is not only gorgeous, but will tie your outfit together and draw attention to your face. Purple is flattering for everyone and should not be feared, so try to fit some into your wardrobe this fall.
