Whimsical Dresses
A purple lover’s dream, these beautiful dresses are the perfect mix of feminine and youthful with billowing tulle and clashing textures. Style with silver jewellery and a white, croc-skin bag for an off-duty pop star vibe. Wear a loose style, like this gorgeous Tory Burch smock maxi, with gold jewellery and casual flats to nail the relaxed Sunday afternoon look, for any day of the week.
Stunning Separates
Shop lavender separates to piece together the perfect purple outfit. This season’s most trendy and wearable midi-skirt comes in a shining lilac tone, perfect to complement any shape, size and style and best paired with a casual white t-shirt and a baguette bag. For cooler, mid-season nights, this knit from Temperley will keep you stylishly warm, while these Miu Miu pants will pair with anything neutral for a perfect transeasonal look.
Accessories
For those days you need just a touch of sun protection, this soft purple fuzzy bucket hat is the perfect thing. Angular sunglasses are a necessary addition to any fun and fresh look, whether they’re square or cat eye, and Valet’s sparkly hair clips add a pop of colour to any casual outfit. Finish any look with a pair of lilac hued slides, perfect with a pair of jeans or a summer dress. A purple accessory is always the cherry on top of any lavender-inspired ensemble.
