Purple special occasion fashion accessories
Purple clutches and bags, fascinators, gloves, jewelry and other purple special occasion fashion accessories
If there’s a special occasion you’ll be attending, after you’ve chosen your purple dress or other outfit, you’ll want to add at least a few purple special occasion fashion accessories to complement it. I’ve chosen some below that you might want to purchase.
If you’ll be attending a special occasion, you’ll want to have a clutch or an evening bag. Unlike many other handbags, these are fairly small. Depending on how small or large they are, they’re meant to hold maybe some breath mints or gum, a comb, a compact mirror, a credit card and ID card, one or two keys, a lipstick, a smartphone, a few tissues, and possibly a few other small items. They’re usually made from satin, silk, or velvet and can be adorned with beads, crystals, lace, pearls, or sequins.
Most people probably associate fascinators and wide-brim hats with the Kentucky Derby, but they can be worn to many other events. They can be worn to church services, cocktail parties, garden parties, high tea, weddings, or other formal or semi-formal occasions.
Purple hair accessories can make even the simplest hairstyle look elegant when you’re attending any special occasion. Some good choices are crystal or pearl hair barrettes or clips, hair combs, hair pins, satin or silk headbands, and even tiaras.
If I am being honest with you, I wear my jewelry when and where I want and even mix what’s considered costume or fashion jewelry with fine jewelry. Most of my jewelry is purple and either amethyst or shades of purple crystals. If you made a search for types of jewelry to wear for a special occasion or something similar to that, you’d find these types of suggestions: chandelier or drop earrings, chokers or some type of bold necklace, cocktail rings, cuff or tennis bracelets, and pearls.
In regard to the exact glove etiquette of when to wear, where to wear, and any other suggestions regarding them, I’ll let you make a few searches for yourself if that is important to you. I don’t want to tell you what you should or should not be doing regarding them. I can give you a summary of what I learned when making my own search, though. Opera gloves are the longest and most formal type of evening glove. Evening gloves are worn to formal occasions, too, but are usually about elbow length. Both evening and opera gloves are usually made from satin, silk, tulle, or velvet. Gloves referred to as cocktail or formal gloves are the shortest. They’re usually made from lace, satin, or velvet.
If you want to add a little more elegance to your outfit, or you’re concerned the weather might be a little chilly, capelets, shawls, shrugs, or wraps are good choices. The materials they are made from are cashmere, chiffon, faux fur, organza, silk, or velvet.
