Burgundy has been a seasonal slow burner in the past but recently it has made its way into the hearts and closets of a lot of women. The color burgundy is very reminiscent of the color of red wine which is a deep, dark, warm and reddish and violet-y color. It’s a nice color for the cold seasons like fall and winter and it makes a great addition to the dark winter hues that you can use in your wardrobe. One of the best things about wearing burgundy is that it suits most skin colors so anyone and everyone can easily pull it off. Here are some of our favorite ways on how to wear the burgundy color:

  • Burgundy pants – jeans are classic and colored and printed leggings and tights are cute, too but if you want something chic that you can wear with your winter outfit, burgundy pants is definitely the way to go. Burgundy pants is a great way to break away from black and other dark colors without going too summer-y bright.

  • A monochromatic burgundy outfit – now, this is something that not a lot of women are brave enough to do because they’re afraid of ending up looking like a glass of red wine but actually, pulling off a monochromatic burgundy outfit isn’t that difficult. When doing a monochromatic outfit, no matter what color, just make sure to mix and match different fabrics to get interesting texture that will take away the bore from a monochromatic color scheme.

  • Burgundy lipstick – if you’re not too keen on wearing the color burgundy on clothes for whatever reason but would still love to incorporate the stunning hue in your looks, going for a burgundy lip would be absolutely lovely.
