Lilac, magenta, violet and lavender - from sweet to bold and rich, shades of purple have overtaken the shopping racks. It's a great colour that works well in daywear as well as night, and the stars are loving it if the recent red carpet photos are to be believed. To help you along, here are some tips to being an ultra violet woman:
For more burgundy and plum-like tones, avoid pairing it with black. Use rust, chocolate brown or olive green.
Avoid a top-to-toe look by contrasting your look. Charcoal grey accessories are a nice match.
Which purple is right for your complexion?
Women with honey-toned skin (like Beyonce) look great in lavender and lilac. Fair-skinned women look stunning in deep plums and purples. Shades of violet sit perfectly on those with porcelain fair skin and dark hair. And, blueish-purples work best for those with reddish-brown hair.
