Inside: 53 purple outfit ideas that will have you investing in all the color you can find! 

Color is everything right now, and while we’ve been used to the neutrals and the all black chic outfits that were all the rage the last few years, color is now the move and it couldn’t be more fun to get into! 

Neutrals are safe, but color brings life to everything. Even if you want to stay within the comfort of the black, brown, tan, and cream color palettes, adding a bag or shoes or sweater with a pop of color is a great way to participate in the trend without committing too much. 

We are in a very maximalist era currently, where more is more and we mean it in a good way. The Y2K resurgence is on the downward slope, but it left behind its love of color and fun styles! And I’ll take it. 

Check out these purple outfits and see if they influence you to join the color train!

Purple Tops

Being more bold in your choice of tops is a little bit of an easier feat, as you can always balance it out with your skirt or pants! This is where your style will have a defining moment: you can either step it up a notch and add more purple, a different color, or patterns, OR you can balance and tone down with a pair of neutral pants or denim jeans. 

Either way, having a fun purple top in your wardrobe is fresh and a cool way to change up your same old outfit cycles if it needs a refresh!

Embracing a lively style is so addicting and once you start, you don’t stop! One color is a gateway to another, and you’ll be wanting to dress brighter and more vivid as time goes on.
