In the heart of Paris, actress and Pattern Beauty founder Tracee Ellis Ross recently gave a masterclass in high-fashion color theory. Making a stylish exit in head-to-toe Saint Laurent, she wore a vibrant purple lace tank with orange pants, a plaid jacket, and a classic brown purse. Leave it to Ross to make pulling off such an unexpected mix of colors as easy as pie.
I love how she chose shades in different color families because the warmth of her rust-orange trousers complements her electric purple top perfectly. If you want to brighten up your wardrobe this spring and summer, ditch the neutrals and follow Tracy’s lead. This catchy, unexpected color combination is the ultimate “if you know, you know” style trick. Keep scrolling to browse a selection of orange and purple pieces that you can mix and match to recreate this colorful designer look for less.
