Lavender Fields

By now, we're sure you’ve heard that Pantone has dubbed Ultra Violet as the color that will dominate 2018—but we kindly beg to differ. After all, it looked like a veritable Easter egg hunt on the runways this past season, with shades of buttercup yellow, baby blue, and bubblegum pink edging out those usual summery brights. And based on that, we are fully endorsing Ultra Violet's little sister, lavender, as the must-have color of the season.
Yup, move over millennial pink—there's a new pastel in town.
The pale purple first made an appearance at Tom Ford in the form a shiny bomber and '80s-style leather joggers, then made its way to a cute sweater-n-shorts set at Tibi, and popped up again in the prettiest relaxed suit at Victoria Beckham. And fashion girls have been quick to take the breakout color to the streets, donning everything from lilac statement coats to saccharine midi-dresses. There’s something a shade less sweet about it compared to other pastels, especially when paired with well-worn denim or a clashing red lip (two looks we’ll be trying out ourselves).
Luckily, you don't have to wait until spring to take on the trend–we've rounded up the must-have lavender looks you can add to your closet right now...
