Fifi, I have not tried on the lilac, nor colorway 04. But i felt an affinity for 08 even thpugh I have UGs Les Bains mens silk last season in the aqua blue. The orange sky just really popped on me and both t8mes I tried it on my outifts were different and the SAs all complimented me on its suitabilty, my work is with a lot of architects and designers and this version seems to feel more architectural if that helps. It is a really fun silk design, lots of energy and whimsical! Look forward to your decision!
