Purple Fashion | Introduction
Purple Fashion
There is so much content showcasing the colour purple in the world of fashion it is hard to know where to even start. It is such a stunning colour to wear and one that easily allows you to stand out in a crowd…for a good reason! Dashing, sassy, elegant, majestic, sophisticated, cool… just a few of words you can associate with purple.
Purple is a great colour to make a statement. The classy cocktail dress for the big party, the stunning jewellery to accessorise or the sexy lingerie to make you feel special. Of course let’s not forget the (designer) shoes! Whatever the reason, adding a splash of purple to your wardrobe can only boost your overall style points.
Purple Trends
Every December for the past 18 years, the Pantone Color Institute has forecast the shade it believes will be trending across fashion, interiors and design over the next 12 months. In 2018 a shade of purple was chosen as Colour of the Year, and it was not for the first time.
The colours certainly made the catwalks and, if you were paying attention, the high street too!
