Good news for anyone tired of neutral and monotonous colors: strong, bold colors are officially back.
The spring-summer 2026 fashion runways often looked like a box of crayons, and fashionistas have started to use these vibrant shades more and more. One of these colors is purple, also known as dark purple, amethyst, grape or orchid. After this color appeared on many of the most important fashion runways for spring, it became clear that the trend was making a comeback and is now being seen in everyday life.
One of the first major purple moments in 2026 came from Kate Moss's outfit at the Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week. She wore a purple blouse paired with a gray jacket and a gray knee-length skirt. The bold purple contrasted with the neutral gray and immediately brought to mind the style of the 1980s. As you know, the fashion cycle changes very quickly, especially when it comes to colors. In fact, royal purple would have been considered outdated just a year ago, but now the situation has changed.
The color purple also appeared on many runways of the spring-summer 2026 season, indicating that it will be one of the main fashion trends in the coming months. Designers and fashion houses have used this shade in various outfits, bringing it back strongly into contemporary fashion.
