A must-have for lilac fashion that will become a staple regardless of the season
We are currently in a strange in-between period where it doesn’t feel like summer anymore, but it’s still sweltering hot.
It’s time for transitional attire. A piece that can be layered, styled and accessorized to suit the whims of the weather.
Balancing functionality and fashion isn’t always easy, but punchy colors and shapes can add glamor to even the most utilitarian outfits.
Lilac is now the shade seen on everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Justin Bieber on Rihanna and on runways around the world.
“Today, lilac offers a new focal point,” writes Grace Cook in an article on the FT’s resurgence of shades of purple. It’s another world.”
It is this color that has been featured in recent collections from fashion houses such as Issey Miyake and Giorgio Armani, as well as luxury retailers such as Cos.
And there’s no better way to do it than with a wardrobe staple in calming mauve.
