How to Wear Fall’s Burgundy Trend
Each season, we anticipate the “it” color of the season. For fall 2024, there is no question it is burgundy. With its timeless elegance, burgundy falls between deep red and purple. It is usually a staple color in your fall color palette, so you likely already have the hue somewhere in your closet from past fall options.
It’s time to pull it out and/or freshen your wardrobe with new pieces because burgundy was all over the runways for this year’s fall collections. Burgundy evokes a sense of sophistication, unlike brighter reds that can feel bold and attention-grabbing. Wearing burgundy offers a more refined and grounded aesthetic—the rich, wine-inspired shade pairs beautifully with the earthy tones of autumn.
Here are some ideas for wearing burgundy for fall this year.
Cozy Up With A Burgundy Sweater
Fall means sweater weather, so grab a snuggly burgundy sweater to stay right on trend and stay warm as the temperatures drop. From chunky styles to more sleek, fitted knitwear, you can’t go wrong with a burgundy sweater this fall. Dress it up a little with a silk scarf with a shade of burgundy in the print. Shop burgundy sweater.
Wear Burgundy In A Pattern
Showing you’re hip to the burgundy trend for fall doesn’t mean wearing it in a full head-to-toe monochrome look (although you could!) The challenge is finding burgundy shades that match since it’s one of those colors that vary and sits somewhere between red and plum. Instead, find a print that contains burgundy and emphasize the color with matching accessories, such as this paisley print dress that incorporates burgundy in the pattern, paired with a statement-making wide-brim burgundy hat. Shop burgundy print dress.
Pair Burgundy with Unexpected Colors
Burgundy is often paired with subtle fall neutrals of gray and camel, but don’t be afraid to jazz things up in unexpected ways by pairing it with bold choices such as orange or yellow or another of fall’s trending colors, olive green. This top shows how the must-shade of the seasons pairs well with orange and looks great together. After all, it’s the colors we see in fall leaves. Put more emphasis on the burgundy by adding another burgundy separate, such as a skirt or matching accessories. Shop burgundy and bold color.
