Purple: Royal, Confident & Debonair

Purple, the color of Royalty has throughout history had that elusive regal aura around it. Manufactured in ancient times from a rare dye extracted from glands of snails, this color has always evoked a sense of majesty and peity. Worn only by the well heeled throughout history, Purple did not become accessible to a common man until a science student accidentally discovered a dye by which this Royal color could be made.

We at Vitruvien offer our own version of this majestic color and style tips that go with it.

At a Dinner Do: Exude sophistication in a pair of slim fit black trousers and a violet shirt teamed with a black sports jacket.

The sophisticated businessman: Pair a light purple solid shirt with French cuffs, worn over a Navy Blue trouser. Pair it up with an optional Navy Blue Blazer for the Boardroom.

On a casual Sunday: Sport a mandarin collared purple shirt with a micro-check pattern worn over deep blue denims for a casual Sunday do.
