Pastel and mid-tone purples, like lilacs and lavenders, are popular on YLF and with my friends and clientele. Lilac is a signature colour for some of my friends and it suits them beautifully. Some lilacs are more pink, and some more blue. Some are saturated and others are watery. Take your pick.
Lilac is versatile, and looks great remixed with a range of colours. These outfits show that in an interesting way.
1. Lilac, Olive, Grey, White
A patterned lilac, olive, grey and white sweater is tucked into a pair of wide chartreuse-y olive pants. The pants pick up the olive in the sweater. Chunky white athletic shoes pick up the white in the sweater. Personally, I’d have preferred the shoes to be completely white, and not blocked with black and dark purple. A lilac bag picks up the lilac of the sweater. Unique palette.
2. Lilac, Navy, Burgundy, White, Fuchsia
A lilac blouse is tucked into a pair of dark wash blue jeans. A fuchsia blazer is layered over the top. Burgundy boots that complement the purple and pink are the shoes of choice. A navy, white, lilac and fuchsia scarf is the finishing touch that brings it all together. Add a bag that works with the palette. Fab modern ‘70s vibe.
3. Lilac, Butternut, Black, White
An oversized lilac swingy sweatshirt is worn with a pleated lilac and butternut ombré midi skirt, which has a black waistband. The top is tucked a little in front to showcase the black waistband, and hint at a waist. White mules with black straps add a dainty relaxed touch. The black straps of the mules match the waistband of the skirt. I see a white bag complete the look.
4. Lilac, Burgundy, Black, Snake Print
Last, a summery lilac open weave sweater is paired with a burgundy skirt. Black and grey snakeskin sandals add patterned interest to the texture-rich look. The black belt with silver statement buckle works with the black in the pattern of the shoes. Add jewellery, eyewear, bag, and watch as desired.
