Lilac is a juicy color that can diversify a boring business look and add color to everyday life. An evening dress made of lilac or soft lilac silk will adorn any dark-haired girl.
Lilac is a shade formed from a mixture of red and blue. This color belongs to the category of cold, dark, rich and bright and, therefore, is more suitable for brunettes with cold skin tones than “warm” blondes and redheads. The colors closest to purple are fuchsia (with a lot of red pigment) and purple (with a lot of blue).
Create a business look with purple
Lilac is a very bright, memorable color, therefore, to create a harmonious, restrained image, it is better to choose dull dark or, conversely, delicate pastel shades for it. Here are some examples of calm and eye-pleasing combinations that are acceptable in business attire:
- chocolate, lilac and lilac;
- blueberry, lilac and dusty blue (or dusty lilac);
- lilac and milky;
- lilac and mouse gray;
- purple and lilac;
- purple and purple;
- lilac and pale pink (almost white).
Lilac can be used successfully in accessories such as bags and shoes. So, a strict and closed blueberry knee-length dress can be beaten with lilac suede shoes. With such shoes, the dress will be brighter than with ordinary black or brown, but at the same time it is kept within the bounds of decency. You can complement such an image with a silk scarf in a pastel shade - pink or lilac.
A delicate pink scarf will not only "enter into conversation" with blueberry and lilac flowers, but will perfectly refresh your complexion.
Lilac color for a bright look
If your goal is to create a bold and vibrant look, then in this case you need to combine purple with various shades of green and yellow.
The combination of 3 different shades of lilac will look fresh and juicy in an outfit.
Here are some examples of bold and luscious palettes using purple:
- lilac, chocolate and spring greens (warm shade of green, herbal);
- lilac, blueberry and mint (light turquoise);
- purple, mustard and gray;
- lilac, mustard and burgundy (warm rich red);
- lilac, mint and beige;
- lilac, violet and lilac;
- lilac, mint and purple.
For example, for Sunday shopping, pair purple flowy banana pants with mustard yellow loafers (similar to ballet flats, but with a closed toe) and a simple gray pullover. This look is comfortable for a long walk, but at the same time it remains bright, stylish and youthful.
For a go-out option, pair a lilac silk long sleeve shirt dress (found in Diane von Fürstenberg's latest collection) with mint suede platform sandals. You can complement the festive look with a small blueberry handbag on a silver chain (or the same handbag in pastel shades - a similar design is presented in accessories from Rebecca Minkoff).
