The Violet Hour
Violet—for as long as I can remember, I’ve prayed to the purple gods. She’s always been my color—the shade of royalty, amethyst, tanzanite. Marie Antoinette’s beloved cornflower, reincarnated.
Purple. She’s definitive. She commits without wavering. She commands.She’s no shrinking violet.
Infuse her into your fall palette, paint the town purple. You won’t be sorry—she wouldn’t allow it.
McQueen Blazer & Cropped Pant, Khaite Simona Bag, & Prada Purple Pump
Oh, McQueen—my siren song. How I could drink you up.
His lines? They cut.
Worn together? Power, personified.
As separates? Equally divine.
Imagine the cropped pant with a cozy ivory cashmere—sublime.
The blazer with camel cashmere and denim—perfection.
Three outfits in one?
Do the girl math.
Finish the equation with the silky suede of Khaite’s Simona bag and Prada’s eggplant pump—they’ll be drooling in your wake.
McQueen Chiffon & Velvet Dress
The dress? To die for.
Plush purple velvet, puffed sleeves, ruffled chiffon, lace trim—magic.
She’s modern Victorian perfection.
Eat your heart out, Bridgerton.
Miu Miu Regard Sunglasses
Paint the world in violet tones with Miu Miu’s Regard.
Violet sunnies—I’ve been on the hunt.
Miu Miu stopped me dead on the trail.
Who wouldn’t want to see the world through lavender lenses?
Regards to Miu Miu.
Miu Miu Nappa Leather Top
Liquid leather poured in purple—the errant love child of a dominatrix and a couture atelier.
Guaranteed to whip your fashion game into shape (double entendre fully intended).
The Attico Devon Mule
Devon, you’re divine in every shade The Attico dreams up, and the patent nappa calfskin in violet is no exception.
Spicy and self-possessed, she’s the prodigious understudy to Miu Miu’s Nappa—bringing every kitten heel to its knees, exactly as she likes it.
Meow.
Burberry Poplin Shirt, Frame Leather Reboot Crop Jeans, Dries Van Noten Crisp Velvet Tote, & Prada Cinnamon Suede Pumps
Embroidered with the iconic Equestrian Knight and lined in Burberry check, this poplin is fitted-flare perfection—just in time for cuffing season.
Pair it with Frame’s cropped leather jeans, Dries’ velvet tote, and Prada’s cinnamon suede pumps for easy elegance—the couture-correct peanut-butter-and-jelly combo.
Take a bite. Leave a mark.
Journelle Sophia Pajama Set
Sophia will level up your night game with her silky violet wiles.
Split the set and front-tuck the top into your favorite boyfriend jean or cropped flare.
Feeling especially daring?
Slip into violet tights—à la Wolford or Calzedonia—add pumps, and sashay into the evening twilight.
She says, adding to cart. And on sale, no less.
Dries Van Noten Purple Striped Shorts
Slouchy elegance, done right.
Pair with a blazer and a fitted tee to seal the look.
Comfort and couture? You’re welcome.
Arma Olivia Shearling Skirt
Um, yes please.
I’ve never met a shearling I didn’t like—and this skirt is no exception.
I’ve been obsessed with finding one ever since Gigi wore a chocolate version to a Guest in Residence event.
Perfect for pre-holiday festivities.
Sign me up for Olivia.
Leset Lauren Sleeveless Turtleneck
No one does relaxed elegance like Leset.
Cut in buttery-soft brushed sweater jersey, Lauren follows in the footsteps of Zoe and Jesse—perfect under a blazer, even better with a Leset satin skirt.
This walnut beauty is the perfect foil to her purple peers.
It’s All in the Accessories
Looking to add a hint of violet verve to your wardrobe but not ready to fully commit—wait, what are you, a fifty-year-old man?
I jest. (Or do I?)
Accessories are the perfect antidote for the commitment-phobe—though sadly, they won’t cure a fifty-year-old man. Would that they could…
Khaite’s Remo gloves, inspired by the ’90s film Wild at Heart (with David Lynch as muse—and we’re all about the ’90s right now), hit the perfect note. They practically sing against a camel wool or shearling coat, and reign supreme with a distressed leather bomber.
And Alaïa’s purple velvet flats? Your perfect dance partner. They’ll have you waltzing down the street in elfin style.
Bring the bling with Gurhan’s contemporary amethyst ring. Feeling especially bold? Stack her right on top of those Remo gloves. Chef’s kiss.
The Violet Hour
She closes out the night softly—a velvet kiss at twilight that lingers, leaving you wanting another silken taste.
Take a bite.
She never disappoints.
The bold ones never do.
