Burgundy Is Always a Good Idea! 7 Ways to Wear the Shade Right Now

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.

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.
