Fashion Edit: The Purple One
Here’s why lilac is this Summer’s must-wear colour
Lilac is the colour that has been strutting down the runways more than any other so far this year, which can only mean one thing – it’s surely the hottest look for Summer ’21.
Having last had its ‘moment’ back in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, lilac is back. And we are loving it.
A perfect shade to inject a little more colour into your wardrobe while still keeping things pastel-chic and subtle, lilac is just as stylish on the beach as it is on a night out with the gals. Plus, it’s suits any skin tone – so you know you’re onto a winner.
To save you a job (we’re good like that), we’ve scoured our top buys in our latest lust list to help you stay bang on trend this season…
