As we embrace the winter season, one colour has emerged as a staple for fashion enthusiasts and editors alike: burgundy. Often described as one of the “new neutrals,” burgundy offers a rich, versatile tone that elevates your wardrobe effortlessly. This season, it’s all about embracing this luxe hue to create chic, sophisticated outfits that carry you seamlessly through winter and beyond!

In my opinion burgundy isn’t just a trend—it’s a timeless addition to any wardrobe. And I am so pleased to see it take off this year more than ever before! Its deep, refined tone pairs beautifully with other neutrals like black, grey, camel, and cream, while also offering an unexpected yet rich contrast with metallics and bold colours. Whether styled for a casual outing, a day at the office, or a festive evening, burgundy exudes quiet luxury and understated elegance. I also love how versatile it can be for all of those events in between! (SHOP MY LOOK HERE)

Why Burgundy Deserves a Place in Your Wardrobe

Rich Tone, Quiet Luxury

Burgundy’s depth lends itself to the aesthetic of quiet luxury—polished, sophisticated, and effortlessly chic. It’s a colour that speaks volumes without overpowering, making it a go-to for those who favour understated elegance.

Seasonal Versatility

While burgundy was a standout during the holiday season, its timeless appeal ensures it remains a wardrobe staple long after the festivities are over. From casual daytime looks to evening glamour, it’s a hue that transitions beautifully through different settings and styles.

A New Neutral

Much like navy or camel, burgundy has earned its place as a “new neutral.” It blends seamlessly into your wardrobe while offering a fresh alternative to the typical blacks and greys of winter fashion.

How I’m Styling Burgundy This Season

To showcase just how versatile and chic burgundy can be, I’ve captured my favourite winter look so far that I believe highlights this gorgeous colour in all its glory. This outfit is now a go-to this winter, blending comfort, style, and practicality—especially as I dress for my growing pregnancy bump!

The Statement Maxi Slim-Fit Dress

One of my favourite additions to my wardrobe is a burgundy maxi slim-fit dress. This piece beautifully accentuates my pregnancy bump while maintaining an elegant silhouette. The rich tone makes it perfect for any winter occasion, whether it’s a cozy dinner at home or a more formal outing. Plus, the dress is incredibly versatile—easy to dress up with heels or keep casual with boots.

The Tailored Burgundy Coat

For outerwear, I’ve opted for a classic wool double-breasted tailored coat in a slight oversized (but not too much) fit. The tie waist ensures a flattering silhouette, while the structured buttons keep the look far from resembling a dressing gown. This coat not only pairs perfectly with the maxi dress but also serves as a sophisticated topper for countless other outfits. It’s a true investment piece that adds instant polish to any look and when I’m putting together this post it’s currently on sale!

Accessorizing Burgundy

Accessories are where the magic happens! Here’s how I’ve styled this outfit:

Gold Accents:

Nothing complements burgundy quite like gold. I’ve chosen gold jewellery to add a festive and timeless feel. Though if you are more of a silver lover know this is truly just an opinion and silver will pair seamlessly as well!

A Pop of Personality:

My latest addition, a silk scarf from Mango, adds a playful yet refined touch to the outfit. The scarf’s pattern ties the look together while injecting a bit of fun. I have been really refining my accessories wardrobe and it’s already paying off! I’ve worn this scarf a ton!

Chocolate-Toned Boots:

My go-to boots, the Auggie from Dolce Vita in Chocolate, pick up a subtle maroon tone when paired with this outfit, creating a cohesive yet dynamic look.

Motty Grey Bag:

Instead of reaching for black, I opted for my Chloe Tess bag in Motty Grey. The contrast is subtle yet refreshing, proving that neutrals beyond black can work beautifully with burgundy.

A Bow for Charm:

A simple bow from H&M adds a touch of whimsy and femininity, completing the look in the most delightful way. Plus for those evenings out it’s a nice way to tie your hair back out of your face!

Pearl Earrings:

A Christmas gift from my husband, my new pearl earrings have quickly become a favourite. Pearls are timeless and versatile, elevating any outfit with their classic charm.
