It is no surprise that as the holidays come around, the colour of choice is most often green and red. As the leaves turn shades of golden reds and oranges, we pull out our cranberry and hunter green turtlenecks, air them out and don their holiday auras. You'll see silver and gold quite often and more commonly offerings of blue, but it does get tedious over the years. So, this holiday season, dare to be different, put aside that shimmery golden tank and red velvet skirt, march on to your local Marks and Spencer and find something purple. Fulfill that palette once and for all.
