Purple RAIN

It’s not the only colour but it is a new one that has been absent from the catwalk and our wardrobes for a number of years, and it is great to get it back.

From strong violets to deep plums there is a wide range of hues of purple, which is quite comforting as you can be sure to find one that suits your complexion. Both Gerry Weber and Luisa Cerano have teamed their purple stories with camel, but they are very different in colour tone. Camel is a great colour that really highlights the purple, making it the statement piece.

You can team just about any colour with purple. For a classic look try black or white, for a fun, more funky look, team it with yellow or orange or be truly daring and match green or pink with the purple.

Purple is also a great all year-round colour, the brighter it is the easier it is to mix with light colours for those sunnier autumn days. A buy now, wear now colour.
