Purple is the trend color in 2026 – when combined like this
Purple is the absolute trend color for 2026 – 3 ways to combine the shade now.
Purple is back—and how! The Fall/Winter 2025/2026 shows made purple the trend color of the season, and the elegant and intense shade will once again play a major role in the upcoming Spring/Summer 2026.
Purple has always stood for luxury, depth, and spirituality. At the same time, the color exudes modernity and style. Renowned brands like Prada, Jil Sander, andGucci even embrace purple as a total look, demonstrating how versatile and expressive the shade can be.
The color is created from red and blue, and appears warmer or cooler depending on the mixture, yet never loses its elegant character. Despite old prejudices (especially in the theater, purple is considered an unlucky color), it's a true all-rounder in fashion. Whether day or night, purple makes every outfit a real eye-catcher.

If purple is too bold for you as the main color of a look, you can also use it subtly as an accent—for example, in the form of a top, a bag , or a tie. In terms of combinations, purple is incredibly versatile. Purple pairs well with neutral tones like gray, brown, black, or white, but also with brighter colors like red or dark green. Vogue presents three looks below that you can recreate.
#1 Purple with bright colors
If you like something eye-catching, you should go for color blocking and combine a purple top with a red skirt.
A look for all minimalists: purple blouse, brown suit trousers and black pumps
A dark shade of purple takes away some of the extravagance and is therefore also suitable for everyday wear – for example in the form of a suit.
From dresses for an elegant evening to cardigans for the day, from shirt dresses to shirts, purple garments are suitable for every occasion and are always cool.
