Omg this is so helpful!!! I just got an awesome pair of shorts for my birthday, but I had no clue what to wear them with! I ended up pairing the shorts which were a lilac color with a really dark shade of purple.

Thanks Trisha! Like I said, it’s my favorite color. As a result, I’ve done a lot of experimentation trying to figure out more ways to wear it. It can be a very powerful color without being harsh and in your face. Maybe that’s why it’s the color of royalty. Each season I keep crossing my fingers and hoping that it’s going to be the “in” color so I can grab some more.

I might consider wearing purple. I never thought beyond pairing it with black or white, but it would look nice with beige linen for summer. Even chocolate brown for fall.

I love purple! It’s my favorite color. I’ve worn it with gray, white, blue (especially aquamarine), Barbie pink, and recently yellow (which really pops).

My tips:

Try bright colors with it first if it is a rich medium or dark purple. Have fun and make the colors pop. If you’re going with more of a violet, go with gray or white, or another light, neutral color that won’t overpower it.

Totally–and thanks for sharing the color sort tip with the Omiru community I use the color sort feature at Bluefly all the time…I also sort at other sites (e.g. Nordstrom and Shopbop) using the color as a search term.

I know what you mean, i love getting fun colors that POP, but then they’re harder to match things with. i just bought this awesome pair of bright green skinny’s, could not for the life of me find anything that looked good with them. i checked out bluefly.com and then searched by colors and found this mix of ivory/brown top that ended up looking fab. i found the color sort feature helpful, maybe try checking it out…
