Purple Sequin Flapper Dress for Evening Events
Purple sequins catch the light with a jewel-like glow, which is why the color works so well for New Year's Eve, a holiday party or a winter wedding as a guest. A cocktail length is dressy without being formal and suits a dinner or a casino night. Purple also fits Mardi Gras parties, next to green and gold-tone accessories.
Purple Fringe and Beaded Flapper Dress Styles
The one-shoulder fringe dress is the most playful option: the fringe moves when you dance, and the asymmetric neckline gives the 1920s line a modern twist. The beaded style hangs heavier and looks more elegant for a sit-down event.
Not every dress here is purple in its first photo, so pick purple from the color options on the product page.
How to Accessorize a Purple Flapper Dress
Silver-tone jewelry keeps purple cool and elegant, while gold-tone jewelry makes it warmer and more theatrical. A black feather headband and black gloves add contrast; gray accessories look softer. Plum or smoky gray eyeshadow and a berry lip suit the color well.
For your partner, a black suit with a purple or silver bow tie completes the pair; see our silver bow ties.
