Lilac hues are everywhere this year,, and the trend of lilac outfits is on fire. With Lilac being a pretty flattering and feminine colour, there is no doubt that the popularity of lilac outfits and clothing items has reached an all-time high, so much so that you would often see a sold-out sign for most items.
Styling Tips
- Like any outfit based on a specific colour, you’ll want to avoid dressing in Lilac from head to toe. Try and implement the colour into your ensemble with a single piece. It could be a shirt, a skirt, a dress, or even an accessory.
- Choose a hue of Lilac that flatters your complexion. There are lighter shades of Lilac and deeper hues. Pick one that works with your skin tone.
- Get creative. Why not try a lilac blazer or a lilac scarf? Maybe you want to swap your basic heels for lilac sandals or lilac earrings. Think outside the box about bringing some of this versatile colour to your wardrobe.
- What Colors Go Well With Lilac? If you’re not ready to go all Lilac yet, here’s a list of colours that look amazing when paired with Lilac: White, Purple, Pink, Beige, Black, Grey, Pink and Sea Green.
