The Easiest Way to Introduce a Pop of Purple to Your Fall Wardrobe Is With a Little Bling

By Morgan Schimminger

Every runway season comes with its fair share of trends. Frequently, the season also offers a color story where one particular hue is interwoven through multiple collections over the course of shows in many cities. For Fall 2026, the shade of choice is purple. Now we’re not talking about pastel versions, such as lavender and lilac. Designers are throwing their support behind darker, deeper incarnations, including grape, violet and even borderline plum. At Mugler, that plum color came in the form of bottoms, from pleated pants to folded midi skirts. Michael Rider presented a royal purple trench coat as part of his Celine offering. Several fashion houses served up purple-on-purple ensembles. Chemena Kamali of Chloe layered a purple ruffled top over purple ruffled pants in similar yet slightly different shades. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez suited up over at Loewe with a matching blazer and slim-fit trousers. If you’re not feeling rocking purple from head to toe, purple jewelry is a great way to dabble in the color theory.

Necklaces range between subtle all the way to statement. JIA JIA’s February Amethyst Beaded Necklace definitely falls into the former category with small beads making for a more understated look. The Oradina Date Me Birthstone Pendant Necklace offers just enough purple to polish off any look — even a simple pairing of a T-shirt and jeans — without taking over the outfit. Looking for the proverbial wow factor? Then embrace the beautiful, twisted chaos of Emporio Armani’s Beaded Multi-Strand Necklace.

There’s plenty of variety on the bracelet front, too. One chunkier take comes courtesy of Completedworks. Its bio-resin bracelet supplies cloudy purple stones along with clusters of pearls. Meredith Frederick’s pick also provides a twofer by showcasing both freshwater pearls and amethyst stones. On the far sleeker side, the purple lambskin version of Chopard’s Signature Bracelet is pretty striking despite its small stature. Sydney Evan’s Gold & Diamond Rondelle creation features multiple tones in case you can’t decide which purple is your favorite.

When it comes to rings, the sleeker options are kind of slim. (Pun totally intended.) The only one in this roundup is the small model of Hermes’ Uni Ring. HEFANG’s Lucky Bean DIY Ring bridges the gap between rocks and blink-and-you-miss-them stones. It also proves that almost any other hue goes perfectly with purple. Speaking of rocks, IPPOLITA’s Rock Candy teardrop ring is the grown-up equivalent of a ring pop. While Marisa Klass’ Purple Sugilite, Richterite and Sapphire Ring is a real showstopper boasting different colored stones of various shapes and sizes.

Purple is even prevalent in drop earrings. The Eshvi Drop-Design Earrings in red and purple actually pair well with the aforementioned HEFANG ring. Dinosaur Designs’ Dew Drop Large Gold-Tone Resin Earrings almost read red or perhaps brown, while Rachel Pfeffer’s Stainless Steel Drop Earrings take some time to get to the point(s). If sheer glamour is what you’re after, Oscar de la Renta’s Plexy and Raffia Flowers Earrings are guaranteed to hit the spot.
