Purple Rain: Autumn/ Winter 2012 colour trend
 |
Alberta Ferretti |
 |
Bottega Ferretti: Strikes two trends in one, purple and the trend that’s going no where Peplums! |
 |
Chanel: Add more colours to the mix. A lot of “experts” will tell you not to mix purple with other colours but if done right can look amazing! Take note how bright it looks with fuchsia pink or other shades of purple like damson. Olive green changes the look completely and gives it a quirky 70’s edge that Twiggy would be proud of. |
 |
Dior: Team it with dark aubergine and deep black keeping the look more subtle. |
|
“Historically purple was only worn by an elite few, but in Autumn/Winter 2012/2013 it will be for everyone” explains Vogue fashion editor Francesa Burns.
|
Erdem: Dont hold back and work this deep lavender with black and even work some purple shoes in the equation. |
Purple was a huge colour trend in 2009 and I still have an array of choices hanging in my wardrobe. I’ve just gone and checked I have a purple coat, six purple dresses, three purple tops, a purple bag and purple accessories. If you had of asked me did I wear much purple I would have said meh? Yeah I have a few bits, surprise yet again! I’ve even been known to wear purple tights if it suits my outfit. All my pieces are different shades of purple so that has me fairly covered already for this trend. Anyway *sigh of relieve* I’ll just have a do a little style update on my looks. I bought a deep plum eyeshadow a few months ago to steer me away from brown overuse so I think I’ll invest in some purple nail varnish to add to the mix. Expect to see a few outfit post in this colour!
It really is a colour that suits everyone you just need to choose from the endless shades of what works best with your skin tone. Are you excited about this trend? Is purple a favourite of yours?
