Pleated long skirts
Ultra violet pleated long skirts paired with a black or white shirt looks uber elegant and is a perfect option to stand out in the crowd. To add on one can carry a gemstone pendant or silver collar clips of similar shades.
Striped jumpsuits
Jumpsuits in ultra violet hues striped with black, white, grey or blue will give your outfit a bold look and add that pop. Broad stripes, pinstripes, banker stripes are a few styles to mention. To accessorise with them, try the long and sleek danglers with a silver oxidised peppy nose pin.
Fringe fever
Fringes are the trend going in all lengths and styles, so whether opting for a fringe overlay or going for tasselled hems the ultra violet hue as the base will surely add that extra grace to your look in 2018. With ultra violet as the main attraction, silver or platinum coloured thread tassel earrings will complement the look well and will add that alluring charm.
Velvet wonder
Violet is one colour that looks stunning in velvet. Be it in the weddings or cocktail parties, velvet suits and dresses look trendy and distinctly royal at the same time. An ultra violet velvet outfit with heavy embellishment will work tremendously. Go for a top-to-bottom violet look and break it with gold accessories and multilayered pearl necklaces or brooches.
Flared solid trousers
The much hyped 1970s flared solid colour trousers look is again in trend, and this time with even more glamorous allure. A fitted high waist ultra violet trouser with kick flares fastened with a button and zip are perfect when paired with pastel coloured off-shoulder and crop top. One can wear silver jewellery for a completely elegant look.
