A purple dress will suit any figure perfectly. It is quite practical and versatile. However, this range is very diverse. It can offer the perfect combination of purple shade and hair color.
Girls with red hair and green eyes will look great in purple-red tones and plum shades. Brown-eyed brunettes will look charming in dark purple tones, and a rich lilac dress will add mystery. Delicate blondes should give preference to shades of lilac, lavender and violet.
Nowadays, purple is so popular that outfits in this range are chosen for such special events as graduation or wedding.
A purple dress is a great choice for a prom, because it is impossible to go unnoticed in such an outfit. The image will attract attention and help you stand out from other graduates. Some believe that violet is the color of dreamers and intellectual girls. But to be as elegant as possible and look like a princess, you should consider several details:
- Shoes and accessories should not be chosen to match the clothes and should not be too bright in color; black, beige, gold and silver will look the most advantageous;
- If the skin is tanned, then the shade of purple can be any, but girls with an aristocratic pallor should choose an outfit in a noble lilac range, so as not to get lost against its background;
- Accessories for a purple dress, as well as its decoration, should be minimalistic, because a prom or evening dress of this color is very self-sufficient.
Young girls going to a prom should not choose dark purple shades when choosing a dress. They can make the image heavier and make the young lady look older than her years. For the celebration, it is better to choose a purple evening dress in bright and pastel shades. Options with lace, bows, embroidery, and stones are acceptable.
A purple wedding has long been no rarity. This is a type of "colored" wedding styles, the fashion for which began in the USA. The choice of purple is explained by the fact that it looks very impressive and fabulous. If this is a wedding in a color style, then the interior should be diversified as much as possible with all the colors of the range. The hall, bouquets, cake, invitations - everything should match. But the main thing at the wedding, of course, is the bride and groom. Their outfits are given special attention.
A purple wedding dress is an unconventional outfit for a newlywed, often chosen by strong-willed girls who strive for individuality. In such an image, the bride becomes especially noticeable not only among the guests, but also among other brides. When choosing a wedding dress of such an extraordinary color, you should take care of some rules:
- It is better to choose a purple dress that is spectacularly fluffy in style, since a straight outfit may look too much like an evening or cocktail look;
- The outfit can be diluted with other colors: classic white, soft pink or lilac;
- The most suitable flowers for a bridal bouquet are lilac, violets, irises, orchids, purple dahlias, and soft purple roses.
Dresses for bridesmaids should be chosen in the color scheme of the wedding ceremony. For example, they can be lilac or light purple. If the bride chooses purple dresses for her bridesmaids in a color as close as possible to her outfit, she risks merging with them. In order not to oversaturate the celebration with this color or if the girls do not want to wear dresses in a purple-lilac color scheme, then in addition to the color, the bridesmaid's outfit can be decorated with identical accessories of a suitable shade.
The groom's outfit for the wedding ceremony can be a classic black or white suit, but it must have accessories that match the bride's dress. These can be a shirt or tie, shoes, a boutonniere. A purple bow tie, belt or socks will add creativity.
A wedding dress as a guest does not necessarily have to be purple. But it must contain details that will emphasize the theme of the wedding celebration. These are fragments of the outfit's decoration, elements in the hairstyle, a handbag, shoes, jewelry.
What colors does it go with?
To look stunning, a purple dress should be worn in combination with well-chosen accessories. Gold and silver details will perfectly complement the image. Attributes of black, dark green, white, gray colors look good. These can be brooches, necklaces, glasses, belts, bags.
What shoes go with a purple dress? The choice of shoes or sandals should also be carefully considered. For dresses in deep tones, you should choose classic black or dark blue shoes. If you need to make the image lighter, then pastel colors will complement it well: beige or pale lilac. Burgundy and red-brown shoes will complement a red-violet dress. You can choose classic colors for bright shades or play up the dress with dark green shoes. Only when choosing this shade, you should not forget to bring a small detail of the same color to the image. For example, a scarf, bracelet, earrings. An animal print is possible. It should be selected for outfits of a laconic cut and not combined with other complex prints.
What to wear with a purple dress? At different times of the year, it can be complemented with coats, jackets, fur coats, boleros. Casual dresses will complement denim jackets, as well as loose cardigans. Such things can be both universal colors and bright ones. Combinations with yellow, turquoise, orange, green are allowed.
Everything is selected depending on the shade of purple and individual color type. A win-win option would be to wear violet, lilac, lilac attire.
Which one will suit?
Purple is a beautiful, unusual and at the same time complex color. To look stylish, it is important to choose the right accessories, as well as manicure and makeup.
Manicure
An image thought out to the smallest detail will help to create a good impression. The ideal manicure for any occasion is a single-color nail coating or a French manicure. For a purple dress, you can do a manicure on each nail in a single color scheme. Manicure for a purple outfit in light tones is best done in silver, pink, and beige. An ombre pattern will look spectacular, as well as a 3D manicure with an ornament or flowers, which will attract attention and leave no one indifferent. Dark lilac varnish will complement a purple outfit for a social event well. A noble burgundy shade will perfectly suit an evening look. Especially if you do a burgundy manicure with a shiny coating. A two-color manicure looks original, where one of the shades of purple is complemented by a bright or pastel color. For special events, nails are decorated with drawings, stones, rhinestones.
Makeup
Purple suits absolutely everyone, and skin color is the main criterion in choosing makeup for an outfit. Makeup for a prom or wedding should be made to match the skin tone, and not just the chosen image. However, it should not be too flashy.
The best makeup option for any skin tone is a soft pink shade. Just don’t forget to use concealer to remove the dark circles under your eyes. A purple outfit can emphasize it. Eyeshadow that matches the tone of the dress will reflect your inner sense of style and attention to detail. You can also highlight your eyes with other colors. Brown eyes are best emphasized with beige or silver eyeshadow. Green or blue eyes – with lilac-pink eyeshadow. Purple makeup for a purple dress looks too provocative and overloads the look. Lip makeup for a purple dress should not be bright. It’s better to just apply a transparent or pale pink lip gloss.
