For the past few seasons, soft, minimalist-approved shades have stolen the spotlight. Not to sound like a broken record, but butter yellow has been nearly inescapable for what feels like forever now. And lest we forget about powder pink — a sweet, feminine shade that emerged at the beginning of the year. As for this season? The hues du jour are much … brighter. Enter the violet color trend. A notch more vibrant than autumn’s traditional burgundy and pumpkin spice color palette, the shade gained momentum on the Fall/Winter 2025 runways at shows like Ulla Johnson and Anna Sui.
Sure, it may not sound like the easiest color to incorporate into your wardrobe; however, Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, believes otherwise. “Violet is what is termed a ‘complex’ color, meaning that it has several undertones that enable the wearer to combine it with many other colors,” she tells TZR, highlighting the shade’s versatility. “It’s an intriguing hue that allows us to get more creative with the way we put a wardrobe together and give a different ‘slant’ to what we usually do when mixing pieces.”
Yes, there’s ample opportunity to experiment with the color this fall, confirms stylist Renée Lara. Take note: There’s not necessarily one shade of violet — it can range from deep, sultry tones to soft, pastel-looking hues. “Whatever your choice, blend it into your wardrobe in a style that’s uniquely yours,” suggests Lara. “I love blouses or tees, velvet blazers, silk slip skirts, or corduroy pants with a hint of violet,” the stylist adds. Or, ease into the color trend by way of a violet accessory, such as a handbag or pump.
