Autumn in Burgundy

Why Burgundy Works for Autumn

Burgundy's rich depth makes it an excellent transitional colour as we move from summer brightness to autumn warmth. This sophisticated shade complements the natural Autumnal palette while offering several advantages:

Flattering for All Skin Tones

Unlike some seasonal colours, burgundy has the unique ability to flatter virtually all skin tones. Its blue-red undertones bring warmth to fair complexions while adding richness to deeper skin tones.

Day-to-Night Transition

The colour pairs wonderfully with black essentials or a classic white top for contrast. The rich depth makes it appropriate for both daytime office wear and evening social events.

How to Style Burgundy for Different Occasions

Evening Events

For after-hours sophistication, burgundy provides multiple styling possibilities. A mini dress creates a striking look for dinner or drinks. Wide-leg trousers with a silky camisole offers understated elegance for your next dinner. A maxi skirt paired with a textured top balances femininity and interest, perfect for a night out.

Weekend Casual

Outerwear and coats over jeans and a white tee creates a pulled-together weekend look. A burgundy knit sweater paired with denim balances deep colours with casual textures. Whilst a bag adds a thoughtful seasonal touch to your neutral weekend outfits.

Office-Ready Workwear

The rich red colour brings a modern polish while offering a refreshing alternative to standard black and navy. A blazer over neutral basics adds interest to your work attire without being distracting. Trousers paired with cream or white tops create sophistication with contrast that works well in office environments. A midi skirt and coordinating top offers head-to-toe tonal dressing, a simple but effective way to wear this luxurious shade.
