Burgundy is lovely, but this emerging color trend is set to take its place.

      Listen. I adore burgundy as a fall color trend just as much as anyone in fashion, but there's a new color trend that has caught my attention: royal purple. I realize it may seem unexpected, but those who are fashion-forward are already embracing it. Luxury brands such as Valentino, Miu Miu, and McQueen have featured this fall color trend prominently in their runway collections. Moreover, purple has historically symbolized royalty and grandeur. In contemporary fashion, it's the color that everyone is experimenting with to achieve a luxurious look and feel. While burgundy has been the typical autumn pop of color, incorporating purple can elevate your outfit to an upscale vibe. The subtle opulence is no longer in vogue, as evidenced by recent runway shows. Valentino’s and McQueen’s runways showcased lightweight jackets, while Miu Miu presented a variety of shoes and accessories, from handbags to chunky boots, all in rich purple shades. Therefore, purple is indeed trending in fashion. If you're also weary of burgundy this fall, continue scrolling to explore its royal-purple alternative, which is equally lavish.

      Purple Outfit Inspiration

      Style Tip: Opt for a monochromatic look by layering a lighter purple over a darker hue.

      Style Tip: Simplify by primarily wearing black.

      Style Tip: If you're feeling adventurous, go bold with a fully colorful outfit.

      Style Tip: Stick to a familiar silhouette, like a long-sleeve polo top.

      Style Tip: For events and nights out, choose a shorter dress with a neutral coat layered over it.
