With lilac popping up everywhere on our feeds and big retailer websites, we went down memory lane with its color of the 90s. It made iconic red carpet appearances (Lil Kim at MTV VMA’s) and was worn by all the 90’s cool girls. Fast forward two decades, and lilac is having a big moment again. This time around, it’s off the runway and on the feed. We’re seeing our favorite models and influencers in pieces by Ulla Johnson, Staud, and Alaïa, to name a few, and they work so well in the summer heat. The freshness and femininity of the color are why we want a few pieces to nail the trend this summer. You can shop significant parts,s too, by heading to the end of the blog, where you’ll find lilac pieces linked.
Why do we choose what we choose? The Gaelle skirt by Ulla Johnson is cascading ruffles done right. We loved its uniqueness, and the lilac color and the fabric’s texture and design make it a remarkable piece to invest in.
The polished leather Staud Scotty bag is more young, fun, and edgy. It’s also a flashback to the early 2000s when small shoulder bags dominated. We think adding this fun piece to your casual looks will make a difference.
One brand that constantly strikes the right note is Tory Burch. They know what women want! Naturally, when we saw their button-down sundress in Lilac, we had to have it featured here! It’s perfect for a fun day, picnics, beach, and gatherings. You can build up the look with your accessories according to the situation. E.g., add a wide-brimmed straw/raffia hat for a day out or PVC sandals and delicate accessories for lunch with the girls. It’s a winner everywhere.
The Alaïa suede sandals are instantly identifiable because of their design and the dusty lilac shade. We suggest these beauties if you’re one for experimenting and enhancing your wardrobe portfolio. All pieces are linked below to stay ahead of trends and nail each look! Happy shopping x
