15 buys that will cure you of your fear of lilac

We need to talk about lilac.

You might think it’s gack, and that’s fair enough.

The colour has a strong association with Polly Pocket, My Little Pony and Miss Piggy’s gloves but for whatever reason, we’re in a seriously lilac mood right now.

It’s the perfect 2018 update to millennial pink – classic and girly but somehow still fresh and interesting.

We reckon the key to pulling off lilac is to make it edgy or a bit extra – it’s an eye-catching colour so why not go all out?

Choose fun fabrics and patterns and pair it with contrasting colours and textures.
