We have been seeing a flash of purple in denim wear every now and then, but the trend has not seriously catapulted to fame.
Perhaps it’s because purple is a tricky color, and we, the non-celebs, would rather go for the conventional. Yet again, who likes to be conventional? Below are some purple pants and leggings that we found at Shopbop.

Maybe it’s the perfect time of the year to try on something different — like purple pants! Here are some easy tips on how to wear the grape hue.
1. Start With Great-Fitting Pants
I suggest the skinny or straight-cut fit — wide-legged or boot-cut styles will only add more unnecessary color.
The look we are trying to accomplish is that of sleek and sassy. Take this pair of purple jeans by Current/Elliot.

2. Wear a Top in a Subdued Color
I like matching purple with warmer shades, for example, ecru or beige, gray, and navy.
Plain white is also a good choice, but I think it’s rather safe and boring. I would pick a top such as this dusty cream fitted knit top from Zimmermann.

3. In Chilly Weather, a Coat is an Absolute Must!
