Building a seriously chic fall wardrobe is about more than just finding a staple jacket or swapping your sandals for knee-high boots. Color plays a major role in the season’s style game, and luckily, this autumn’s it shade will make any ‘fit look like a million bucks. Burgundy, bordeaux, oxblood, merlot—whatever you call it, the hue is having its moment right now.
The wine shade is rich, sophisticated, and just the right amount of moody for fall—whether you’re wearing it head-to-toe or adding a pop of color with a sleek shoulder bag and cozy knit. The styling options are endless, but if you’re looking for a little inspo, we’ve rounded up a few of our go-to burgundy outfit combos to help you work the trend into your fall fashion rotation. A monochromatic ’fit never misses, especially when done in the season’s must-have hue.
Pair burgundy leather pants or trousers with an oversized turtleneck—in either the same exact shade or a slightly richer shade—and finish it off with ballet flats or a patent leather loafer. It’s effortless and polished! The coolest (and coziest) way to embrace the shade this fall?
Your fave jeans and a burgundy bomber. Layer a simple tee or sweater underneath, keep things low-key with minimal accessories and a neutral bag, then tie it all together with a matching heel or bootie for a look that’s chic but understated. Swap your usual black tights for a burgundy pair and go all-black with the rest of your picks.
Think: LBD and pointed-toe pumps, or sleek loafers and a leather jacket for a more daytime approach. The unexpected pop of color adds just the right amount of intrigue to an otherwise classic outfit—and it totally works. There’s something about a sweater-and-skirt combo that just works—and in this wine and plum-pink color pairing!?
The look is rich and moody, but still has a soft feminine side—and the power to shape-shift. Style it with a pair of coordinating Adidas sneakers for a casual everyday ‘fit or elevate it with a sleek pointed-toe boot for the evening. Don’t get me wrong, I love the full burgundy—you read me wax poetic about the monochromatic moment.
