Here's how we're wearing burgundy this autumn

In recent seasons, the fashion colour palette has played with a range of shades, from cherry and olive to chocolate, so it was only a matter of time before burgundy took its turn. This deep hue combines warmth and elegance, and this autumn it's everywhere. It's easy to see why. Burgundy is calm enough to act as a neutral, yet expressive enough to make any look feel special.

Burgundy brings balance. It creates a refined contrast with black, beige or grey, while pairing softly and modernly with pastels. It appears on everything from coats to skirts, standing out for its ability to make even the simplest outfit feel warmer and more considered, with a touch of subtle nostalgia.

And best of all, you can wear it however you like. A full outfit in this shade feels strong and elegant, but sometimes just one detail - a bag, jumper or pair of shoes - is enough to transform the whole look.
