PURPLE will bring a lavish and luxurious edge to any wardrobe this season. Shades from lilac and lavender to amethyst and mauve work brilliantly together, so don’t be afraid to wear yours head to toe. Tuck pretty pussy-bow blouses into tailored trousers or pencil skirts, team print dresses with black opaque tights and add elegant accessories to complete the look. There’s no space for shrinking violets.
