This fall, the fashion world is turning their attention away from rich jewel tones like burgundy and emerald green in favour of more delicate hues like lilac — and we’re not mad about it. Whether you’re going for a sophisticated look with clean lines or reaching for a relaxed silhouette, the lilac trend 2021 is sure to be everything this fall and winter.

Salvatore Ferragamo, Jil Sander, and Marine Serre are just some of the many designers who sent the unexpected fall colour down the runway, adding a pastel freshness to classic autumnal pieces like cozy knits and tailored coats. This shade of purple has also been spotted on celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Normani, and Michael B. Jordan in recent months and it’s easy to see why.

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect colour to shake up your fall wardrobe, look no further than lilac. From fluffy handbags to boxy blazers, there is no shortage of ways to incorporate lilac into your autumn OOTD. Check out some of our favourite lilac styles below.
