Burgundy tones

As the days get shorter, the clothes in your wardrobe naturally shift toward deeper colors. This autumn, one stands out: Burgundy. It is a deep, warm red color with a hint of purple and brown. Burgundy is a little softer than bright red, making it slightly easier to wear. A Burgundy sweater with gray jeans, a blouse with a fun detail, or a complete outfit in this trend color: it all works. We’ll show you why Burgundy is the color of autumn and how you can easily wear it.

Burgundy is a deep reddish-purple color, named after the red wine from the French region of Burgundy. In Dutch, we often call the color bordeaux too, named after another well-known wine region. It belongs to the same color family: dark, warm, and somewhere between red, purple, and brown. The color itself has been around for a long time, but it consistently shows up in fashion as soon as the weather turns colder.

And why now? Red was hot and happening this summer, and now that fall is here, that color is shifting to its darker, warmer side. Burgundy has the same energy as red, but feels calmer and more like fall. On the catwalks, the color appeared this fall and winter in knits, leather, satin, and complete co-ord sets. Burgundy is also just as easy to pair with gray, black, or denim as it is with brown. You can pull those burgundy pieces out of your closet again every fall.

If you want to start small, choose one Burgundy item and keep the rest neutral. An off-shoulder sweater in Burgundy with gray wide-leg jeans and flat shoes is exactly enough. Add your favorite accessories and your outfit is completely on point. 

For a more casual day out, a striped long-sleeve top with Burgundy details paired with jorts is a perfect option. Brown boots and a suede bag complete the look. Burgundy and brown are a perfect match this fall: warm, rich, and very easy to combine.

Looking for an outfit for the office or after-work drinks? Choose a Burgundy blouse with a tie detail at the waist. It instantly gives your silhouette shape without requiring much effort. Pair it with black trousers and slingbacks for the office, or with jorts and black boots for a tougher vibe. The same items, but two completely different looks.

Can it be a little more eye-catching? Go head-to-toe. A Burgundy set with a zip-up jacket and wide-leg trousers gives you a complete look in one go. Add a black bag and black ballet flats, and you won't have to think about anything else. Wear the items separately and you can create even more outfits: the jacket with your jeans, the trousers with a simple white top. Want to take it one step further? Combine Burgundy with pink, cream, or chocolate brown, or mix different fabrics in the same shade, such as a knitted item with satin. Statement made.

Burgundy is one of those colors that instantly takes your wardrobe into autumn. Deep enough for the colder months, yet warm enough to make you feel good every day. Best of all, the color goes with everything you already own, from your gray jeans to your black boots. Start with one sweater or blouse, or go straight for a complete set. Both work, and both are on trend. Wine not, right? Shop the Burgundy collection and find your new favorite.
