If you follow me on Instagram, you must know how excited I am about the Very Peri color announcement by Pantone. I have been wearing purple looks a lot! You can check out my How To Wear Purple Reel HERE and another recent purple post HERE. a lot of people find purple to be a difficult color to wear, but as long as you choose the right pieces, you can really make it work.

Either as a pop of color (like in a bag or scarf) or in a big statement like this coat, this color gives royal and unique. Before, I’d find it very difficult to find shades of purple other than pastel in stores. I think that Bottega Veneta kind of changed that when they started adding purple bags and shoes to their repertoire. Luckily, many other brands started following suit, and I started to see bags, coats, shoes and more everywhere. Currently, I have almost any clothing item you can imagine in this color because I love the unexpectedness of it.

Now, let’s get in to this purple look. When I saw this purple blazer, I just had to grab it. I have the pants and the skirt to it, and I have enjoyed wearing them. In this look, I chose to wear the pants and a super cute faux leather coat. For a pop of color, I chose to add a green bag (as if we could get enough of this shade of green) and I finished it off with these super cute woven raffia mules in purple as well. Purple looks great in a monochromatic look like this, or styled with other shades such as red, yellow, and cognac. Let me know. if you plan on wearing the Pantone color of the year. Something tells me that we will see a lot more of this color in stores next year.
