Meet the Colour of the Season: Burgundy Outfit Ideas

Every season a new it-colour arrives and this autumn burgundy has emerged as the front runner. More universally wearable than red and packing more of a visual punch than top-to-toe neutrals, adding a burgundy piece to your new season wishlist is the perfect segue into autumnal dressing this year.

Warming burgundy and claret tones lend themselves to covetable knitwear, and we're loving this ribbed jumper by Jaeger that looks perfect teamed with rich cream wide-leg trousers. Wear now as a nod to early autumn chills and then as a chic layer under a chunky cardigan or a waistcoat as the season progresses.

If you prefer just to dip a toe in the trend, then investing in burgundy accessories could be the way forward, and we’ve got a whole host to choose from. Up the ante on your working wardrobe with a sleek pair of burgundy-hued ballet pumps to propel you firmly into autumn (and with Insolia technology, they win on comfort as well as style).

A burgundy bag is one of this season's key accessories, so our stylish briefcase-style bag could be a great investment. If you fancy something a little more compact, this baguette style could be your new go-to.
