With another couple of months of winter to get through before lighter days arrive, the autumn winter purple trend is perfect for avoiding the dullsville blues. Pick a shade from a spectrum that starts with lilac and ends in rich aubergine tones and wear it in place of the usual black.
In case you hadn’t heard, that much anticipated fashion fest, the Net-A-Porter sale is now on and there’s purple aplenty up for grabs. Among my favourites are the Burberry London skirt – wear with ankle boots, opaques and a cozy sweater. And that Joseph leather jacket – gorgeous over a black dress.
Day - Burberry London stretch-crepe pencil skirt – was £250, now £175, Etro open knit sweater – was £455, now £227.50, Pierre Hardy glossed leather ankle boots – were £545, now £272.50 Night - Joseph leather biker jacket – was £890, now £445, Vanessa Bruno Athé mini dress – was £270, now £135, Jimmy Choo Tessa sequin leather pumps – were £425, now £212.50
Or inject a little purple passion into your accessories – pick from the Haider Ackermann lace-up suede ankle boots, the Jimmy Choo tote or the leopard print loveliness that is the Christopher Kane clutch.
1. Haider Ackermann suede ankle boots – were £615, now £307.50 2. Jimmy Choo Justine tote – was £1,395, now £697.50 3. Christopher Kane leopard print leather clutch – was £390, now £273
The purple MiH Vienna legging style jeans also caught my eye, a gorgeous alternative to the standard blue – wear with an over sized knit by day and a silk shirt and heels for evening.
What do you think of purple as the standard black alternative and will you be bringing a little purple perfection to your wardrobe this winter?
I’m liking the purple theme!! Those loafers are rather fabulous!! xx
