Eggplant color – what is it, who suits it and what does it go with?

“Then I’ll put on an eggplant-colored dress and sit in your sedan,” says a fashionable metropolitan girl from a popular rapper’s video, creating for us an anticipation of her future outfit.

So what is this dress, what does it look like and what should it be combined with in order to occupy the niche of luxury and aristocracy?

Color Features

This rich shade has a positive effect on a person. With its help, you can easily improve your mood, even create a festive mood in your soul. At the same time, the eggplant color is designed to restrain excessive emotions and, accordingly, calm.

Therefore, you need to wear clothes of this shade with pleasure:

  • When you're in a bad mood.
  • When I got up on the wrong foot.
  • When you want a holiday.
  • When emotions go over the edge.

Cooking fan-baked eggplants in the oven

Step 1: prepare the eggplants.


To begin, wash one large or a couple of medium eggplants under cold running water and dry them with paper kitchen towels to remove excess moisture. Then we lay them out on a cutting board, use a sharp kitchen knife to cut each one in half lengthwise, but not all the way through, and then divide each part into 3-4 layers, so that their thickness does not exceed 5-6 millimeters. Sprinkle the eggplant fans on all sides coarse rock salt, put them in a deep colander, put it in the sink and leave there for 30-35 minutes, during which most of the inherent bitterness will disappear from the vegetables.

Step 2: prepare tomatoes, cheese and ham.

Without wasting a minute, we wash the tomatoes, dry them, remove from each the place where the stalk was attached, and chop into rings or layers up to 1 centimeter thick. We shred Mozzarella cheese and smoked pork ham in the same way, although the slices can be made larger if desired.

Step 3: Prepare the garlic-butter mixture.


Now peel the garlic cloves and squeeze them through a special press into a small bowl. Add dried basil, a little ground black pepper and maybe a pinch of salt. Shake these ingredients with a table fork until smooth and put the resulting garlic-butter mixture aside, it will come in handy a little later. Also at this time, turn on and preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Step 4: Stuff the eggplants.


When the eggplants are steeped, wash them again and dry them. Then we stuff the vegetables with prepared cheese, tomatoes and ham. For example, placing 2-3 pieces of these products on each layer. After this, we move the fans into a small non-stick metal, or preferably glass, heat-resistant baking dish.


Pour over the previously prepared garlic mixture and proceed to the almost final step.

Step 5: prepare fan-baked eggplants in the oven.


We check the temperature of the oven and, if it is warmed up, place the still raw dish in it on the middle rack. Bake the stuffed eggplants until fully cooked, medium 30–40, and large ones 40–50 minutes. Then we put oven mitts on our hands, move the mold with fans onto a cutting board previously placed on the countertop, and let the aromatic dish cool slightly. Then, using two kitchen spatulas, place the eggplants in portions on plates and serve them at the table.

Step 6: Serve the oven-baked eggplants like a fan.


Fan-baked eggplants in the oven are cooled slightly after cooking, then distributed in portions onto plates, each garnished with fresh dill, parsley or cilantro, if desired, and served as a second main course for lunch or dinner. As a complement to this yummy, you can offer several types of sauce, for example, sour cream, cream or tomato. Enjoy delicious and simple food! Bon appetit!

Tips for the recipe:

– sometimes instead of dried basil they use fresh leaves, a total of 4-5 pieces are needed, but before that they should be washed, finely chopped and ground with ground garlic and oil. Well, if desired, this aromatic plant can perfectly replace dill, parsley or cilantro;

– the stuffing products specified in the recipe are not essential; instead of “Mozzarella” you can take any hard or processed cheese, ham is ideally replaced by smoked bacon, chicken, lard, regular pieces of boiled or baked meat of any kind, and an alternative to olive oil is any other vegetable. You can also add zucchini or zucchini cut into thin layers, sweet salad pepper rings, or not use meat at all and make this dish completely vegetarian, filling the eggplant fans with only vegetables and cheese;

– if the eggplant is too dense, the fan falls apart and the filling falls out of it, assemble it again and tie it in the thickest part with strong baking thread, which can be easily removed after baking using ordinary kitchen scissors;

– don’t have a small glass heat-resistant or non-stick baking dish? Let's not be upset! We simply make thick two- or three-layer baskets out of aluminum foil, put stuffed eggplant in each and bake;

– some housewives, in addition to ground black pepper, use any spices suitable for vegetable dishes: hyssop, savory, sage, paprika and others.

Eggplant color in clothes: who suits it?

The eggplant color (the photo proves this) suits many. It always looks interesting, if, of course, the items and their style are chosen correctly to fit the figure. A girl with any color type, hair shade, even body type can afford to wear eggplant clothes. The exception is white-skinned blondes. If the shade is too saturated, the skin will become excessively pale and take on an unhealthy appearance.

This shade looks great in a variety of styles:

With it you can create an aura of mystery. You just need to choose the right shade correctly. The lighter the skin, the cooler the eggplant should be. On the contrary, dark-skinned people can safely wear rich, bright shades of this color. Red-haired beauties should choose eggplant clothes if their skin is porcelain (has a very light and delicate tone). For blondes with gray and blue eyes, it is preferable to choose delicate eggplant shades with a deviation towards pink.

Beautiful design examples

This photo shows how elegant a kitchen with two tiers of eggplant fronts will look. The light wood-colored tabletop and mosaic-look apron add additional charm. To eliminate excessive darkness, a light tiled floor and blue background walls were used.

In this interior, eggplant coloring was used for the facades of furniture in both tiers, and dishes of similar colors were selected. A wall with a wild stone texture, a side mirror, and a dark gray floor add elegance.

And here it is shown how the principle of a dark bottom and a light top can be implemented. The rich eggplant façade is interrupted only in one place by a black and white induction hob. The white tabletop harmoniously combines with the light gloss of the upper tier of furniture. The wide mosaic apron is completely open - it is not used for attaching hanging objects. Thanks to the light laminate, excessive darkening of the lower level is eliminated.

Cool shade

You can successfully combine the color of eggplant with other shades if you decide what type it belongs to. After all, grapes, pansies, even real eggplant in the garden are all completely its varieties. In the fashion world, it is customary to divide colors into warm and cool. This will help you choose the right combinations. So, if there are cold notes, then what color does eggplant go with in clothes? It could be:

Color spectrum

A successful combination of eggplant color in clothes depends on the shade of your dress. Let's remember: after all, ripe grapes, and delicate pansies, and the dark blue-violet real eggplant in your garden bed are all varieties of this complex color.

Violet is a fiery mixture of energetic, life-affirming red and cool, sophisticated and calm blue. It is this duality that explains the difficulties fashionistas encounter when choosing suitable accessories for an eggplant dress.

By the way, we have not yet clarified a very important question: who does such a dress suit? There are no problems with brunettes: they can safely choose an outfit in the color “dark eggplant” or opt for light shades. Dark skin and black hair will help them not to “lose face” next to purple. It’s more difficult for blondes and redheads. In principle, fiery-haired beauties can also afford almost any shade of purple, but only on the condition that their skin is delicate, light, which is also called “porcelain.”

Eggplant color in clothes: what to combine with? Rules for selecting accessories

The eggplant color is very bright and catchy. That is why you need to select accessories for it carefully. They should have neutral shades, but this rule does not always apply. Suitable items for eggplant-colored outfits:

  • brooches, straps, rings, earrings, scarves of the same color scheme;
  • For a bold look, bright yellow accessories are ideal;
  • you can consider fuchsia-colored shoes and jewelry;
  • Any metallic shade goes well with eggplant;
  • Leopard prints on accessories will help add extravagance to the image;
  • and if you want to look extraordinary, then you can always take an emerald bag and put on shoes of the same tone.

For girls, the best shoes to pair with eggplant-colored suits and dresses are classic pumps. It's better if they are the same shade. Young creatures can experiment with metallic elements on shoes.

How to choose the right shades of eggplant for your everyday style?

Jeans and trousers. Pairs perfectly with classic shirts in warm colors, sporty white T-shirts, black jackets, cardigans with three-quarter sleeves, and leather jackets. If we are talking about a casual outfit, then you can complement the look with T-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatshirts. The main thing to remember is that purple (aubergine) is a bright color, so the top should always tone it down. Preference should be given to light colors. To complement the look, silver and gold jewelry and jewelry are well suited.

We combine color in clothes with makeup

The eggplant shade carries notes of sexuality. And if you wear the right clothes, you'll also need some amazing makeup. Before you make it, you need to decide on a color palette. To do this, it is recommended to be guided by eye color:

  • green and gray - then makeup in pink and purple shades will come in handy;
  • brown - in this case it is advisable to choose flesh and silver tones.

Whatever the outfit, you should always be guided by the rule: “we place the emphasis either on the lips or on the eyes.” Hence there are 2 makeup options:

  1. It is necessary to draw an outline on the eyes. A black or very dark purple pencil is suitable for this. The upper contour should go into the arrow (how long it will be is up to the girl). The moving part of the eyelid should be covered with lilac shadows. You need to take several shades. In this case, the darkest one is applied from the outside and carefully shaded. If the eyes are deep-set, then at the inner corner you can apply shadows of a light shade (close to white). A pearl highlight is applied under the eyebrows on the outside of the eyes. Next, the eyelashes are covered with black mascara. To complete the makeup, apply mocha blush and light pink lipstick.
  2. Another makeup option combines purple and golden shades. First you need to apply shadows: purple on the eyelids and golden under the eyebrows. Next, we highlight the look with eyeliner or a special pencil. Depending on the color of your eyes, you need to choose its shade. Green-eyed beauties can choose a black or dark gray option. For blue-eyed and gray-eyed girls, a blue contour pencil or eyeliner would be ideal. To complete the makeup, cover your lips with golden-pink lipstick.

Fashionable look

The eggplant color (the photo proves this) is used in a wide variety of fashionable looks this season. With its help you can create an image for any occasion.

You can choose a dress for the office. This can be either a slightly fitted model with a flared skirt, or a sheath style (you can even have a peplum). For both cases, you should wear pumps on your feet. It is better to choose accessories as modest as possible. These could be small silver earrings or a metal chain. You can complement the look with a light silk scarf or a thick gray jacket.

You can dress bolder for a party. We put on a bandeau or corset in combination with a light multi-layered or chiffon skirt. We select extravagant accessories for this outfit: golden stiletto heels and a brown belt.

For walks and a romantic date, a light and small flowy dress with a high waist is suitable. You can replace this option with a blouse and pleated skirt. You should definitely choose suitable accessories for your outfit: snow-white beads, a beige handbag or clutch and golden shoes or sandals.

Eggplant color is considered universal. It suits everyone: slim, plump, tall and petite, sizzling brunettes and delicate blondes. With its help it is easy to create any image, from business to extravagant. Everyone can find a worthy use for it in clothing. That is why it has long been included in the basic and classic wardrobe of every person: be it a man or a woman.

“Then I’ll put on an eggplant-colored dress and sit in your sedan,” says a fashionable metropolitan girl from a popular rapper’s video, creating for us an anticipation of her future outfit.

So what is this dress, what does it look like and what should it be combined with in order to occupy the niche of luxury and aristocracy?

The most “delicious” color of the palette with bluish reflections helps to create a bold, sophisticated and stylish look at the same time.

Hair dye in the shade of eggplant can be found in a regular store, but only professional dyes and an experienced colorist who mixes tubes like a DJ mixes music tracks can create a unique tone. There are no limits to experimentation here: you can easily get a ripe eggplant with an icy lilac nuance, a light eggplant with an ashy pink or deep blue hint - and basically anything you want.

Features of "eggplant"

The shade itself is reminiscent of classic purple (with a dash of burgundy) in a dark gradient. Its visual qualities are priceless, since it consists of such subtones as black, violet, lilac, purple.

According to its psychological properties, eggplant has a positive effect on a person. It calms, immerses creative people in unreality, and is associated with a beautiful night sky or a magic crystal.

The color does not limit a person; you can wear it both with a slim and curvy figure. Hair color doesn't matter either. If we talk about style, then this shade is suitable for a strict dress code, for an evening reception or for a romantic meeting. It all depends on the clothing itself, its fabric, and additional accessories used.

Psychologists advise “using” this color variation if you are not in the mood, or, on the contrary, it is too overwhelming and you want a holiday.

How to decorate a small kitchen in eggplant color

You should not decorate a small kitchen in a monochrome eggplant version, otherwise it will look even smaller. But making it white with purple details is the ideal option. You can use a purple set or dining table, this will become a bright accent.

Who suits it

If you choose the right style and texture, the eggplant color combination suits almost everyone. Here it is inappropriate to separate its use by color type, since girls with light hair color and brunettes can wear dark purple.

In order to most competently emphasize your type of appearance, it would be nice to pay attention to the following nuances:

  • Fair skin requires a cooler undertone;
  • For dark-skinned women, you should choose bright, warmer eggplant tones;
  • For ladies with white hair, it is best to go as close as possible to pastel pink (within eggplant).

[edit] Description

  • Eggplant color is a tandem of two opposites.
  • Eggplant color is a complex variation of dark purple with a brownish undertone.
  • Eggplant is one of the most difficult representatives of the palette, which dominates and attracts attention. It is perceived as mystical, and therefore is rarely used in the design of modern interiors, especially in the premises of those people who strive for peace and balance.

It looks noble, creates an atmosphere of mystery and gives the image of aristocracy.

Clothes combinations

Warm yellow-orange, green-yellow and related lilac-burgundy shades will best support our color.

Cool blue, cool mint, turquoise create contrasting combinations with this tone, so it is recommended to think through this look carefully.

Using such a palette, apply the rules of proportions two to one - one color is twice as much as the other.


Black

One of the simple combinations that requires little effort and will add style and luxury to your outfit.

To make the look sparkle, just complement it with a light accessory (silver, gold), shoes, bag or jewelry (bracelet, chain). A mysterious outfit, with the addition of a little shimmer, is good for an evening event.

  1. A black floor-length dress and an eggplant clutch, with nude high-heeled shoes.
  2. Anthracite leather pencil skirt, pumps, clutch plus chiffon blouse in a delicious tone.
  3. Eggplant color suit, black turtleneck (T-shirt, top) plus loafers.

White

Another traditional way. However, unlike other tandems with white, here it is not so advantageous. It is best to include here another tone that will definitely add severity to the appearance and set a specific style - this is black. A trio like this will help make your look expressive and unusual. And eggplant and white definitely won’t get lost in it.

Pastel colors: beige, milky

Since eggplant is a deep, incomprehensible magic, calmer colors are required to “pacify” it. All delicate pastel shades (cream, milky, nude, beige) do an excellent job with this task. This can even include a shade of a different spectrum, pistachio.

Eggplant is a shade of purple, closer to dark, which has very subtle aesthetic qualities. It can also be seen as a dark shade of lilac sometimes mixed with purple.

Hot Color: Green and eggplant are a naturally attractive combination, and by increasing the brightness of the color, we enhance the impression of it.

Green

If you plan to use a warm variation of eggplant in your clothes, then natural green will look beautiful and expensive paired with it. Its shades of jade, emerald, dark green, dark turquoise, khaki will harmoniously fit into such a set.

To make the image harmonious, it would be better to choose pink and soft purple shades for makeup. And you can play up the tandem with delicate, barely noticeable shoes or blue accessories.

If the green turns into mint or turquoise, then the appearance will acquire a more contrasting sound and will be filled with freshness and softness.

For example, a turquoise shirt, shoes, dark trousers.

In any case, a tandem of natural colors is always appropriate and attractive (eggplant, blue, green, yellow). No matter how much you mix them, everything will seem in moderation.

Brown

The color of eggplant in clothes goes well with brown (sand, cocoa, milk chocolate, camel, taupe). This tandem creates a businesslike, strict look, is very attractive, and creates a rather elegant, interesting image.

If you wear an eggplant dress, decorate it with a brown leather strap, and put on stiletto heels, you will get a stylish, aristocratic outfit. At the same time, thanks to the depth and versatility of the violet-blue hue, you will certainly appear to others as a very confident person.

Grey

Another complex cocktail with gray (light, silver, steel), but at the same time, thanks to the contrast, it favorably emphasizes elegance.

A great combination would be a gray tulle skirt and an eggplant-colored blouse.

By the way, this color combination can be easily played with any set and style.

Eggplant is a universal color, but at the same time, in order to impress others with its depth and originality, you should choose accessories wisely and show restraint.

Jacket from a man's shoulder

First of all, the fashion of the 80s is characterized by the emergence of female masculinity. Traditional femininity, tenderness and weakness are replaced by feminism, courage and rejection of the usual rules. This is the time of strong women: the “Iron Lady” Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana.

It was in the 80s that voluminous jackets came into fashion, as if borrowed from the men's wardrobe. And now in 2021 they are relevant again. They can be found in the autumn-winter collections of many brands, including Dolce&Gabbana, Emporio Armani, Givenchy, Alessandra Rich and Ganni.


@givenchyofficial

On a fragile female figure, a men's cut jacket looks sophisticated and stylish. The voluminous silhouette allows you to play with layers: under such a jacket you can wear a T-shirt, shirt and even a warm sweater. The color and print can be anything from classic solid variations to the popular checkered pattern this season.
