The trend is set to continue into the new year, with fashionistas from It Girls to influencers going wild for purple pants in particular. The result? A sea of statement-making ensembles that are sure to turn heads.
But how do you incorporate this eye-catching hue into your wardrobe without looking like a walking plum? Scroll down to discover our curated collection of stylish outfit ideas and find out.
Italiana in Purple
A refreshing departure from the norm! Giorgia Tordini is known for her understated style, often opting for neutral tones. But in this stunning ensemble, she takes a bold step towards showcasing her personal flair. Inspired by her close friend Gilda, Giorgia’s outfit features vibrant purple pants paired with a silk blouse and finished off with a dramatic black coat draped elegantly over her shoulders.
The overall look is elevated by the clever addition of white shoes and a beige tote bag with a touch of gold hardware.
Shade Game
While there’s a wide range of purple shades, including lilac and pink, what’s truly remarkable is how each one can evoke a sense of love and appreciation. Take, for instance, these high-waisted pants that effortlessly transition between work attire, elegant events, or everyday wear. The versatility they offer is unparalleled. For added sophistication, pair them with a beige turtleneck sweater, creating a chic and stylish ensemble.
Alternatively, if you’re drawn to pastel hues, the peach-colored bag will provide a delightful accent.
Metallics
To create a show-stopping ensemble, it’s essential to incorporate a bold, eye-catching piece. One such option is the striking two-shade pant design, which boasts a mesmerizing gradient effect where the purple hue transitions seamlessly into white at the hem. This avant-garde look is sure to turn heads. For a timeless and chic combination, pair these statement pants with more subdued pieces like a crisp white button-down shirt and a tailored blazer.
Pink Purple
One of my favorite fashion trends is creating outfits centered around a single color or shade. It’s almost like building upon a neutral canvas, much like combining all-black pieces. In this case, the pink turtleneck sweater serves as a great starting point, which I’ve paired with high-waisted purple pants for a unique and unexpected look.
While it may seem unconventional at first glance, this combination is surprisingly versatile and can be dressed up or down to suit both everyday wear and more formal occasions.
Yellow Details with Purple
At first glance, the combination of yellow and white may seem unconventional, but trust me, it’s a game-changer. Take, for instance, this stunning shearling jacket featuring a vibrant yellow fur trim around the neckline, beautifully contrasting with its crisp white body. Similarly, Gilda’s fashion sense is all about experimentation and pushing boundaries, which she cleverly translates into her designs, making them an absolute delight to behold.
Track Pants + Heels
The trend for track pants showed no signs of slowing down last year, with both girls and guys embracing their comfort and versatility. A popular styling trick was pairing them with boots for a casual look, while some fashionistas even paired them with heels for a more elevated ensemble. The beauty of track pants lies in their ability to effortlessly transition from a laid-back Sunday to a night out on the town.
Case in point: just take a glance at this outfit – isn’t it the perfect blend of comfort and style?
Striped Pantsuit
This ensemble exudes a sense of professionalism and sophistication, making it an excellent choice for office attire or formal events with dress code requirements. The pantsuit’s clean design ensures a polished look that can be relied upon in various settings. For added versatility, consider swapping the pink shoes for white or black alternatives, but the charm lies in pairing them with the suit’s color to create a cohesive and stylish overall appearance.
Puffer Vest and Checked Suit
While the previous outfit showcased a more classic take on the pantsuit, this modern iteration offers a fresh twist. The lilac checked pants are paired with a puffer vest, an unexpected yet surprisingly harmonious combination. This stylish ensemble not only exudes comfort but also warmth, making it an ideal choice for both work and business meetings. Its versatility allows you to effortlessly transition from one setting to another.
Printed Fantasy
If you’re a fan of bold and playful outfits, you’ll love this color-blocked ensemble. The Russian fashionista’s look features a striking blue coat paired with a green blouse adorned with vibrant floral prints. The real showstopper is the purple pants, which have an eye-catching print that adds to their comfortable, pajama-inspired design – a trend that’s currently very on-trend.
To elevate this outfit, white stilettos provide a chic and neutral contrast that complements the bold colors perfectly.
Navy-Blue Coat
This classic navy-blue coat is a winter staple that pairs seamlessly with a variety of outfits. Its versatility allows it to be dressed up or down, making it an essential piece in any wardrobe. Meanwhile, the purple printed pants are a stylish and comfortable addition to your ensemble. Not only do they complement the navy blue, but they also add a pop of color and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Summer Version of Purple
As the warmer months approach, it’s natural to feel a mix of emotions – excitement for the sunshine and outdoor adventures to come, but also frustration at the lingering chill in the air. However, before we dive into the official start of summer, let’s take a look at some of the fabulous garments that have already begun to trickle into stores. One standout piece is this gorgeous pair of purple culottes.
Not only do they boast an eye-catching hue, but they’re also surprisingly comfortable and flattering when paired with a crop top and flat mules on those scorching summer days.
Wrap Purple Pants
The world is familiar with the versatility of wrap dresses and skirts, but have you ever considered donning purple pants with a wrap design? If your response is an enthusiastic nod, then let’s delve into the styling possibilities of these unique trousers. Not only are they printed with visually appealing designs, but also crafted from fabric that flatters the figure.
For a professional look, simply pair them with a navy-blue blazer and crisp white button-down shirt – a straightforward combination that exudes elegance.
Vinyl Shine
As the grand finale, I unveiled something truly show-stopping – vinyl pants that are sure to turn heads. While they may not be for every taste, it’s not because they’re impossible to wear, but rather because some people might find them uncomfortable due to their shiny, purple, and cropped design. However, when styled with a sleek black leather jacket and high-heeled stilettos, these pants can instantly elevate any outfit.
To take things to the next level, add a pop of color with a pink bag – a stylish touch that will leave onlookers green with envy. Don’t forget to check out our comprehensive collection of outfit ideas and style guides for inspiration to make your wardrobe shine!
