27 Apr Trend Watch: Purple
To match colors it’s best to refer back to elementary school. Purple will work well with its color family-red hues that are closer to purple on the color wheel than orange, and blues that are closer to the color wheel than green. Purple also works well with yellow because it’s across from it on the color wheel. The thing about mixing and matching many colors is that if taken in their brightest form sometimes it can be too overwhelming. So below are six purple looks in all different shades to guide you through this ultraviolet year.

If you had to dress in one color for the rest of your life would you? Would you want that color to be purple? My guess is probably no. But it can be done!

Alas, these moccasins are actually for girls and they don’t have a women’s size so I took the link out.
