Sugilite Is the Rich-Looking Color Trend That'll Take Over in 2025
You've probably heard of amethyst—it's the February birthstone—and maybe even tanzanite, a rarer purple gemstone. But what about sugilite?
This slightly obscure stone was first discovered in the 1940s in Japan and since then has been used in decorative objects, beads, and other types of jewelry. Known for its striking hue, the color has a Kate Middleton approved regal vibe. Not only does it look luxurious, but it also commands attention. And we're betting it's about to be the shade of the season and gain popularity well into the New Year.
Whether you're looking for a simple sweater, a pair of statement shoes, or even a glamorous gown, you'll be delighted to discover it's available in a sensational sugilite hue. So step away from the basic everyday black, holiday red, and go-to neutrals in favor of an even more fabulous color that commands attention. And when people ask where you got that purple piece, you can kindly correct them, explaining that it is sugilite, before spilling your style secrets.
Scroll on to shop items that look extra expensive in purple. Accessorize accordingly, or go all in from head to toe in comfy sweats or chic wardrobe staples. Either way, you'll look like a million bucks.
