What can we say? We're feeling purple at the moment. Maybe it's because spring has a way of making you want to pull on fresh colors. Or because Pantone made "ultra violet" their color of 2018. Perhaps it's because designers have been bringing Prince's psychedelic color of choice to the forefront of menswear over the past few seasons. But for spring, in 2018, we're not looking for bold pops of grape or royal shades of purple. Right now, it's all dusty and muted versions of violet and lavender, just on this side of mauve. That's right, we said mauve. And here's the thing: take a little risk and wear one of these colors, and watch as the compliments come rolling in. From your buddies who can't quite put their finger on it, but they "really like the new sweatshirt." Or from the females in your office who respond to the twilight hues. So try one of these pieces and let it accent your usual wardrobe—it teams extremely well with tans, greys and the full spectrum of blues. It's guaranteed to make a statement. A subtle one, that is.
