Now, some of you may be questioning: Lavender is cute but is that even wearable?

While this hue is foreign to most of us, guess what, it’s surprisingly versatile.
To remove your doubt from the equation, I’ve gathered 40 outfit ideas if you wonder what to wear with lavender or lilac hues.
From springy lavender tops to feminine lilac jeans, you will never run out of choices.
Enjoy!
1. TEAM LAVENDER WITH OTHER PASTEL HUES
Want double happiness?
Wear pastel on pastel just to seal the deal.
As a cool tone itself, lavender goes amazingly well with other pastel hues like light green, ivory, and baby pink.
For a youthful springy look, a cream-yellow crop top and lavender high-waist pants just bring out the best in each other.
If “a breath of fresh air” can be expressed through one outfit, this look is the one!
2. GO CUTE & SPRINGY WITH LILAC TOP
If you are new to the light purple department, a lavender top is always a good place to start.
Why? Simply because “Lavender top + Light denim jeans” is such foolproof. Always was and always will be.
That being said, I will always switch from blue denim to classy white pants when I want to look extra elegant.
It just looks even more sophisticated and aesthetic.
LOVE.
3. STAY CLASSY IN LAVENDER SHIRT
If you want to upgrade your work attire, sometimes all you need is a tiny adjustment.
Switch out the plain white dress shirt to a lavender one and instantly you are that fun stylish lady in the office.
While it still looks professional and put together like a regular dress shirt, it just adds a dainty touch of softness.
If you want to boost your feminine vibes, I strongly suggest you wear the silk or satin purple shirt.
Featuring a luminous and soft finish, this is how you look like a high-class boss lady.
Simply dazzling.
4. FRESHEN UP THE LOOK WITH LILAC SHORTS
Without a doubt, purple shorts are for the spring season.
For a preppy girl look, team a white oxford shirt with low waist purple jean shorts and driving mocs to prove to others that looking classy in casual wear doesn’t have to be boring.
As for the girls who want a spark of sassiness, team a white off-shoulder ruffle top with sweet purple shorts just nail the look.
After all, showcasing the feminine shoulder line is just universally flattering.
5. STAY CUTE IN LIGHT PURPLE LEGGINGS
If you still wear the same old black leggings, come one gal, it’s time to upgrade your gym look.
I personally prefer wearing some floral hues for leggings as these shades are the magic mood booster!
You just naturally feel good when you look cute.
Trust me, that alone can make your trip to the gym way easier.
Seriously, how can you not feel motivated with an aesthetic pair of lavender watercolor print leggings?
You are bound to feel fabulous.
6. LAVENDER SWEATER CAN BE VERSATILE
Speaking of a simple way to make the chilly winter more bearable, you guessed it – a lavender turtleneck top.
When everyone is wearing a navy blue coat and dark brown sweater on cold days, this is how you effortlessly stand out from the crowd with an unexpectedly delightful hue.
Even if you randomly team a pastel purple top with plain black pants, people will think your outfit looks cute but not laid-back!
I know that’s insane but the lavender hue just makes everything more polished.
Of course, if you want to spruce up the look, please don’t hesitate to match the top with a floral print midi skirt – they are just born for each other.
7. STAY ONE OF A KIND WITH LAVENDER JEANS
If you are sick of wearing ordinary skinny jeans, switch out for lavender jeans just scream “I’ve got a style and I KNOW it”.
But here’s the thing, since lavender pants are a statement piece, you want to keep the rest of your outfit neat for a smart look.
Instead of going for an eye-catching leopard print top, keep your figure united with an elegant beige top.
8. ADD A POP OF FUN WITH LILAC SHOES
If you want to incorporate lavender in a subtle way, the shoe is always a good place to start.
While you can’t really go wrong with a pair of purple sandals, teaming it with white jeans is such an impeccable combo if you want to look cute and elegant at the same time.
As a petite girl, another way for me to style lavender shoes is to go matchy with a monotone top.
That can really elongate the figure from head to toe like magic!
9. GO FOR A PURPLE RETRO LOOK
When it comes to vintage hues, most of us think of sage green, teal, creams, and yellowed brown.
Well, it’s time to give Lavender a shot this year.
For an in-style cottagecore look, team a statement big-collar purple shirt with straight-leg blue jeans, and Converse is gorgeous for an aesthetic Instagram shot.
If you want to dress lilac for your retro party night, get playful and whimsy with a purple animal print jacket and go-go boots that just bring you back to the good old 60s.
10. STAY PUT TOGETHER IN A MONOCHROME STYLE
Admit it, you are tempted to pull on a lilac monochromatic look, aren’t you?
Not only does it look one-of-a-kind, but it also expresses confidence to the fullest.
To make sure your combo will be a great success, play with textures and patterns.
Instead of wearing the same fabric like cotton from head to toe, integrating different textures like satin, linen, and knit instantly adds some dimension to your look.
Last tip, to avoid looking top-heavy, team lighter purple for the top and a darker shade for the bottom.
Easy piecey.
