Purple Passion Potion,
I've always loved purple, I always remembered purple as being a very gothically inspired colour. Especially in my teenage years when we used to hang out and listen to Kurt Cobain, Foo Fighters and Smashing pumpkins...lol....
I remembered this Long purple maxi I used to wear.....and if I think back now it was ghastly....It fitted like a sack and it was not something that other girls would wear ( I got that alot though)...
Never the less purple has certainly made a comeback and what a sexy and feminine comeback!
The colour purple has now done well for a couple of season's in Occasion wear so naturally that's where it would be. But, purple has now become the accent colour to brighten up those winter days too....It goes very well with Grey and Black which is what we will see coming through for Winter now.
It will always come through commonly in tops and dresses but, it could be nice to own a statement piece like a jacket or a pair of leggings....
As South African I think it's been proven over and over " We Smaak Colour with a Passion"!!!!
See pics attached...
Another tip is also to keep as eye out for cosmetics and perfumes....They are always ahead to predict the next hot colours. ( Check out Bvlgari and DKNY)...they had purple since end last year)
Mwah.....
Wens,xx
Hey Wens, I see quite a few trends are lasting for more than one season. Like check/plaid, lace and now purple as well. Any idea of why that would be? Perhaps they were such popular trends that they won't die. I'm just guessing here.
ReplyDeleteHey Anthea,
ReplyDeleteI think that alot of the trends get repeated all the time but, what makes it different is the new interpretation of the trend. eg Military is almost always in but, this time around it's studded as studs are on trend so that will be the update or one could update it with a vintage twist (since vintage is also in) like a vintage floral that has a khaki tone in it.
I also think some of the reason y things r repeated more often is because of the recession...When we all go to stores you want something with longevity and thats versatile to wear with everything...
Check specifically is in Winter in a tartan vibe and then in summer in a beach bumb surfer way...The update this summer was the ruffled longer length tunic over the cropped tight shirt...
Next summer it will be the longer length belted shirt and the more cowboy type vibe...
Hope this answers your question????
Thanks a lot. Yes, you have answered my question. Once again, all good news since I can wear my clothes for longer. I sometimes feel so wasteful when I buy something and only wear it once, which is often the case.
