Over the last few years, we’ve seen certain colors cementing their staple status. Hot pink has persistently avoided trend status by finding a home in every season, and even light blues and yellows are becoming more and more year-round. Another color that has broken the boundaries of seasonal style is burgundy. From cherry to oxblood, the burgundy family is no longer stuck in fall. The color is taking over as the perfect statement accessory and a powerful, grounding option for every outfit.
Deep shades like burgundy can create fun pops of contrast in an outfit, but they can also be the base for strong, professional, and comfortable looks that are easy to style. This means burgundy is a perfect back-to-school color. When you can transform an outfit to effortless cool with just one color, you know you’re ready to turn the hallway into your runway.
Retro Styles
Burgundy is so down-to-earth. Its warmth makes it a perfect starter outfit inspired by your favorite revival trends. Build a ’70s silhouette with burgundy cords or a mockneck top, or step into Y2K with a belted burgundy maxi skirt.
Effortless Burgundy
This color trends bold, but that doesn’t mean it only works in high-effort outfits. Loose fits and easy styles make burgundy perfect for moving from dressy to casual.
Color Combos
Burgundy is bold enough for monochrome, but we don’t have to leave our favorite colors behind. Finding burgundy’s best complements can help you create interesting outfits and keep using your favorite pieces from spring and summer as we dip our toes into fall styles.
Burgundy Accents
You probably don’t want to convert to a fully burgundy wardrobe, but why not add burgundy to your other outfits? A pop of burgundy can be the last piece to the puzzle in an outfit that is “just missing something.”
