Lilac and Red

There's no denying that we love tonal ensembles. They are chic, effortless and totally "rich" looking, even during a time when everyone is watching their pennies. When you piece together a tan, cream and white pre-loved outfit, you can walk the walk without having to talk the expensive talk.

But more adventurous colours can still look equally as premium. The tricky part is knowing hues work together and which just don't. Here are some colours to keep your eye out for when sourcing your following secondhand additions for 2023.


Lilac and Red

An unexpected colour clash that is vibrant, daring and yet still very polished. Part of a red shade's allure is the fact that it’s unapologetic . It's a bold colour, a colour of power.On the other hand, Purple is red's serene sister – it evokes a certain calmness. This is why the combination works perfectly. Try to choose silhouettes and shapes that mirror the ethos of the colour story. For example, stick with strong lines and statement pieces when sourcing and styling your red pieces. When it comes to lilac choices, opt for feminine and soft pieces. The juxtaposition will work wonders.
