Over the past few seasons, we’ve seen a tantalizing menu of colors, from cherry red to avocado green to chocolate brown whet the fashion world’s tastebuds. It was only a matter of time until our color palettes extended to the world of wine. Yes, we’re talking about rich burgundy. The vintner-approved shade has become our new obsession, and we’re ready to take a big swig.
Vogue’s Burgundy Must-Haves:
- The Runway-Ready Top: Khaite Luola top, $2,200
- The Clean-Lined Maxi: Gabriela Hearst Imagene wool midi dress, $1,350
- The Cozy Knit: Lisa Yang Natalia brushed-cashmere sweater, $900

Culinary jokes aside, burgundy is a practical color to invest in for the season ahead. Effortlessly straddling the line between a pop and a neutral, it’s softer and easier to wear than a bright red, yet more impactful than your classic black or brown.
For his breakout spring/summer 2024 show, Gucci’s Sabato de Sarno introduced a new house shade: “Rosso Ancora,” a deep red. For fall 2024, we then saw burgundy prominently featured in the collections of Khaite, Ferragamo, Saint Laurent, and Chloé. In the transition from runway to reality, the shade’s dominance is still going strong; it made cameos in several of the top fashion week street style looks.
Whether you choose to wear it head-to-toe as a set or maxi dress, or as an accent alongside neutrals or dusty pastels, there are plenty of ways to splash burgundy into your fall and winter wardrobe. Check out seven of our favorite ways to wear it right now, in the edit below.
