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.

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.
A Strong Pour
A burgundy maxi dress will make a striking impact, during or after business hours, so you can keep the rest of your look simple with slick boots and gold jewelry.
Just to Taste
Add a bit of texture to your typical maxiskirt look with a fuzzy burgundy knit. Bright white ballet flats add just the right pop of contrast.
Another Round, Please!
Switch up your typical skirt or suit set by trying it in shades of burgundy. We love Loulou Studio’s sweet suiting vest layered over a white tee and under a cropped leather jacket.
Well-Balanced
An easy off-duty look gets a bit of a boost with a burgundy barn jacket and quirky accessories.
Bottoms Up
Burgundy trousers are an unexpected way to elevate your typical office outfit. We love them paired with deep brown and a dusty green jacket.
Gets Better With Age
Leather skirts continue to be a must-have item for fall, and we’re loving them in shades of burgundy. Add texture to your look by layering a poplin shirt under a collarless jacket, and adding a pair of leather knee-high boots.
Full-Bodied
Take a cue from The Row’s fall collection by pairing burgundy with a dusty pink. Brown corduroy pants and shiny loafers finish the look.
