Purple has been making the fashion headlines lately, as inspired by the dominant choice of style at the recently held Inauguration Day of newly-elected USA President Joe Biden.

America’s top political women Vice President Kamala Harris, First Lady Jill Biden, former FLOTUS Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton paraded in different shades of violet, which has long been acknowledged as a “bipartisan” color. It merges the blue associated with the Democratic party and the red of the Republican.

If you’re inspired by this fashion energy, here’s how you can incorporate this influential color into your daily looks:

1.Oversized Dress with Oversized Coat

Get that boho look ala Olsen Twins circa early 2000s– and upgrade it with a bold colored oversized dress, chicly layered with an oversized coat.

Own the look with this dress from clothing line By Camilla right here, then match it with a pastel purple coat like that of Jessica Wang’s right here.

Or you may opt to pair it with almost the same shade of fuchsia rocked by Michelle Obama:

2. Monochromatic Pastel Athleisure

Combining two light shades of purple in your athleisure definitely works in this trend.

3.Streetwear Pajama 

Loungewear is our top sartorial choice these days because of our work from home lifestyle. Add a little edge into it by mixing textures and prints. Case in point: a satin high fashion pajama matched with a cute printed shirt and topped off with a black leather jacket could look nonchalantly electric.

4. Blazer Paired with Cycling Shorts

This double-breasted oversized coat in purple might sound odd to match with a pair of cycling shorts by theory, but looks absolutely chic as a fashion statement.

5.Streetwear Co-Ord/Tracksuit

A cool tracksuit in eggplant color is effortlessly edgy.

7.Toning Down with Knit

Violet can be a strong color. But matched with soft materials like a knit top, this bold color could be a really sweet, feminine look.

8.Denim on Denim

Denim on denim always works, no matter what color tbh.

Shop this look from Zalora Basics here.

9.Color Blocking

Yes, violet can be too strong. But matched with other bold colors in block, it can totally elevate your look worthy of the attention of street style paps in Milan and Paris.
