If you're looking to bring a splash of color to your wardrobe for the fall and winter months, the best shade to invest in this season is purple. Stars like Blake Lively, Eva Longoria and Alicia Keys have all been spotted in the power color in recent months. From deep plums to light lavenders, purple reigns as the season's go-to shade.
Purple is the perfect event color for fall. It has all the eye-catching qualities of red, but comes across as subtle and sophisticated, rather than making you look like you're clamoring for the spotlight. While the color of royalty makes a bold statement all by itself, it also pairs well with gray, black, white, and even brown. And because purple comes in so many shades, it can flatter any skin tone.
If you want to keep the color in the accessories department, try these suede heels from Nine West or these sunglasses from Anthropologie. If you love the color trend, go all-out with a bold purple dress, like this gorgeous silk-tiered number from Banana Republic. Whether you opt for a pop of color with a well-chosen accessory or use the hue to reinvigorate your closet full of basics, purple provides the perfect punch of color in your fall wardrobe.
