The Allure of Purple Party Dresses

For a special occasion--or no particular occasion at all--a purple dress is always a standout choice.

• Sexy purple dresses can make a bold statement. Try a bodycon look to show off your assets and have jaws dropping.
• Purple cocktail dresses are perfect for evening parties or an afternoon brunch. Rock one of our cute purple dresses when you're out with friends and you're sure to get plenty of compliments! Purple formal dresses are perfect for fancy affairs like weddings or galas. It's the color of royalty, and you're sure to look regal and elegant in one of our purple gowns.

Keep in mind that there are many different shades of purple. A bright, bold amethyst or magenta is a gorgeous prom look, and a delicate lilac or muted plum is perfect for formal events. There's nowhere purple cocktail dresses don't belong: It's all about picking the right style and hue.

How to Style Purple Cocktail Dresses

Styling a women's purple dress begins, of course, with color choices. Matching colorful accessories is a little tricky, but it can definitely be done. Since purple sits right between the warm and cool color palettes, it's important to understand how the color of your accessories changes the tone of your outfit.

• Gold emphasizes the royal aspects of purple evening dresses and brings out the color's warmer elements. Necklaces and earrings in gold tones look chic and classic. Silver offers a slightly edgier look. The cool color gives an icy modern touch to any purple dress.
• Sexy purple dresses work with bohemian accessories, as well; chunky, eye-catching jewelry in unexpected brights like red or turquoise make surprisingly great partners for this rich hue.

Picking Shoes for Purple Gowns

No matter how stunning, a women's purple dress isn't complete without the right shoe. That may be a heel, a flat, or even a boot; it all depends on the vibe you're going for. Lulus has many styles of affordable heels that look great with our purple dresses for sale. You can add some extra oomph with a bit of glitter, keep things simple with a simple nude pump, or go classic with a black stiletto.

• A flat can be just as chic as heels. The right pair can add a pretty, delicate touch to your gown.
• Shopping for something a bit more casual? Go for boots! Although purple is traditionally a formal color, it makes for stylish casual wear, too. Boots provide a comfortable on-trend solution whenever you want to dress down a bit.
