A Daytime Dream
This light, unexpected powdery lilac strikes just the right tone if you are looking to bring something completely different to your daily repertoire. The mini dress is the ultimate find if you are searching for a piece to bring a fresh feel to your everyday look. Whether you are stepping out for a garden party, attending a daytime event or you simply want to elevate your day-to-day ensembles, a lilac mini dress is undoubtedly the way to do it.
Choose an A-line cut mini made from delicate ornate lace with an off-the-shoulder neckline and full, puff sleeves for a charming day dress addition. You can style this with all your boots, sneakers and sandals to curate a different mood that can fit an infinite number of dress codes. What’s more, you can add statement heels or your favourite wedges to immediately take your lilac mini from light to night.
Cocktail Hour
Bring your next playful purple along to cocktail hour and watch the room light up as soon as you make your entrance! Known for having a lot more room to experiment, the cocktail dress code opens you up to a whole world of possibilities when it comes to putting together your look. Choose a shin grazing midi cut dress with a plunging V-neckline, cinched waisted and voluminous skirt to serve as the perfect canvas to your pastel lilac colour mood.
The addition of feature shoulder ribbons will bring that light and feminine feel that will tie your whole outfit together. Finish with a velvet headband and ballet flats for a soft take or swap these out for metallic pointed heels and statement crystal earrings for a more dramatic look.
Black Tie Mood
And finally, there’s no better way to switch up your event attire than with a whole new colour palette! This subtle yet striking shade is the dream when it comes to adding something completely different to a formal affair. Style a head to toe glow in a long sleeve, full length slip dress made from sheer lilac fabric, beautifully stitched with a glittering decorative motif to really turn heads.
Simply pull your hair back and add a statement heel for a stunning ensemble that the event will never forget. For something more classic, opt for a princess cut gown with a full, swinging skirt made from dreamy lilac tulle. This will balance delicately against a sculpted V-neckline bodice with a glowing floral trim. Complement with statement floral earrings, and you’re ready for wherever the night takes you.
