Plum, Purple & Lilac
Purple is the colour to watch this autumn. Shop plum, aubergine, violet and lilac designer pieces to lift a winter wardrobe.
The trend
Next to red, purple was the colour fighting for attention on the Autumn/Winter 2026 runways. Deep aubergine and plum looked sophisticated on coats and head-to-toe knits, while lighter lilac brought a softer touch to tailoring and accessories.
How to wear it
Wrap a purple scarf over a puffer or a camel coat, or wear a plum knit with grey tailoring. For evening, a violet dress with black accessories is simple and striking.
