Is 2023 The Year of Purple?

2023 started off with a collective ‘ooh!’ from design lovers and colour fanatics as Pantone declared Magenta their colour of the year and its surrounding shades as the (frankly, dystopian sounding) Magentaverse. Unconvinced? Let’s look to the catwalk: well, the fashion pack has also doubled down on its passion for purple hues, with Daniel Lee’s subversive take on the signature Burberry check flush with the spirit of ‘77, while Tiktoks about the viral Fenty purple blush (that’s blusher to us Brits!) has racked up millions of views. Factor in the Taylor Swift-inspired ‘Digital Lavender’ trend and you’ve got the palette to take you through spring to winter.

Ready to take the plunge? Here’s how to nail purple tones without having to revamp your wardrobe: accessories are the easiest way to nod to a trend, keeping your look current and avoiding the trap of fast fashion. Whether you’re a paid-up lover of periwinkle or ready to mauve over to the dark side, we’ve got just the thing: enter our purple jewellery edit.
