We’re loving this shade of purple, and these are our top picks that meet the not quite lilac and not quite lavender criteria

Described by Pantone as a “dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet red undertone”, Veri Peri is the colour of the year for 2022 and we’re going to see a lot more of it in the coming months. 

And for good reason: This neutral shade of purple contains plenty of grey tones, meaning it’s easy to pair with most colours and, unlike a true purple, pastel lavender or punchy violet, this shade is approachable and will look flattering on everyone.

We reckon it’s going to blow up like the next shade of avocado or pistachio that’s been dominating fashion runways, and these are our favourite pieces available right now:
