Celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Rihanna, and Kate Middleton have been spotted wearing fashionable garbs in purple hues even before Pantone has announced their color choice for 2018.

It doesn’t matter whether you set your own trend or follow some of the looks featured in the runways. Wearing Ultra Violet shouldn’t be too hard to pull off. The simplest and safest way to wear Ultra Violet is through one piece garments that you can mix and match with neutrals. Another option is to go for purple accents like scarves, ties, or jewelry pieces. Those who want to express their individuality may opt to explore different looks from the latest trends.
Closet basics like shirts and jeans can turn into a fashion statement when paired with an UltraViolet blazer. But why stop there when you can add purple knits, shorts, and slip dresses in your closet options this season. Do you feel a bit more daring in your outfit? Grab some mash-up pieces from designer labels and put them in your mix. Exploring the combined look of camisoles and sweatshirt from Alexander Wang or the trench and jacket mix of Helmut Lang can add zest to your purple fashion too.
