When you think of fall colors, typically images of warm crimsons, crisp gold, and various versions of orange come to mind. But this season, we're turning our sights to a brighter and bolder hue to break us free from those traditional autumnal tones.

Enter: vibrant purple. It's here to spice up your fall where pumpkin spice falls short. While shades of purple for fall aren't particularly groundbreaking — magenta and berry have always been fan faves — this fresh iteration of a true grape-jelly purple is. And for those of us who love color, it's a welcome addition to our seasonal wardrobe.

If you're ready to embrace the violet wave this fall, take a peek at seven ways you can tap this trend yourself.
