As much fun as it was, millennial pink is now soooooo last year and we’re glad to see purple stealing the style limelight this season. Pastels stood out among the rest at all the SS18 shows, but lilac and lavender had a serious moment with designers like Victoria Beckham’s tailored lilac suits and Michael Kors showcasing lavender knits.

If the pretty pastel shade is a bit too sickly for you, ultra violet is making waves after it was named Pantone’s colour of the year – meaning we’re definitely going to be seeing that everywhere this spring/summer too.

Just to make your life a little bit easier, we’ve rounded up some pretty purple pieces so you can avoid looking like a walking talking parma violet or like you’ve borrowed your nan’s cardis. You’re welcome, btw.
