Purple Is Fall 2022's Top Color Trend

Although we're always tempted to try new, flashy trends, like clogs or kooky cutouts, there's something to be said for making the most out of what's already in our closets. For Fall, that'll be pretty easy. Aside from wardrobe staples being among the hottest styles, purple clothing and accessories are having a major moment, possibly even replacing Barbiecore pink.

We first took notice of the purple craze during New York Fashion Week earlier this year, where the color — in a variety of different shades, from light to dark, blue-tinted or kinda-pink — appeared in Fall designs from PatBO, Coach, Prabal Gurung, and more. Later on, it continued to pop up in collections shown in London, Milan, and Paris, proving this was not just a fluke.

Since purple is extremely versatile, it's essentially the perfect color for transitional weather. There's nothing stopping you from layering a cardigan over your bright purple summer dress, or rocking purple pants as a way to spice up your 50-degree outfits.

Celebrities and their stylists are also aware that purple is hot right now. Remember Florence Pugh's matching set from Venice Film Festival? The Don't Worry Darling actress even went as far as slipping into purple heels and carrying a purple bag, thus nailing the monochromatic look.

A few days later, at the 2022 Emmy Awards, Sandra Oh took the glam route, wearing a sequined purple suit on the red carpet.

Of course, if you're in need of a casual outfit inspiration, Lily-Rose Depp has you covered. The star of HBO's The Idol recently combined a sporty purple skirt with white top, creating a laid-back yet super cute athleisure look.

Alternatively, if you're not feeling head-to-toe purple or colorblocking with pink, blue, yellow, green, or orange, there are always accessories. A purple purse will quickly provide a little spice to whatever you're wearing.

Plus, while there's nothing wrong with rocking pastels year-round, darker shades will work well with your winter wardrobe. A deep purple, long-sleeved top can quickly be layered under a vest for added interest.
