Purple Formal Dresses Q&A
What colour shoes should I wear with a violet or plum gown?
Nude or clear perspex heels are always a safe, elegant choice that elongates the leg. If you want to lean into the glamorous aesthetic, metallic gold or silver heels look absolutely incredible against rich jewel tones.
Is this a popular colour for a school formal?
Yes! It's the perfect choice for the girl who wants to stand out. It offers the same level of sophistication as a classic dark gown, but the unexpected pop of colour guarantees you'll look unique in all your photos.
Silver or gold jewellery?
It depends on the shade! Dark, warm plums look incredibly regal when paired with gold. Lighter, cooler tones like lavender and lilac look beautiful and fresh when styled with silver or white gold.
