If you’ve already read our article on the Top Colour and Style Trends for Autumn-Winter 2024-2025, it won’t be a surprise to you that Burgundy is back for Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 (read article here).
Burgundy is the perfect shade for adding a pop of elegant colour to your outfit, without overpowering your look. Whether you're a fan of classic elegance or looking for a modern twist, burgundy’s versatility makes it a key colour this season. In this article, we’ll explore the best colour combinations with burgundy to help you express your personal style, enhance your confidence, and make getting dressed a breeze.
1. Burgundy and Soft Pink: Feminine Elegance
One of the most timeless colour pairings is burgundy with soft, blush pink. The contrast between the deep richness of burgundy and the delicate softness of pink creates an elegant and romantic look. Ideal for women who enjoy a feminine, graceful style, this combination works well for formal occasions, office wear, or even casual outings when styled right.
This particular combination works especially well on those with a SOFT dominant colouring type, with little contrast between hair, eyes and skin tone. For those with a DEEP or CLEAR dominant colouring type, opt for a brighter fuchsia pink instead.
Style tip: Opt for a burgundy blouse with a soft pink trouser or skirt for a sophisticated yet approachable vibe. For those with lighter value, you could wear the soft pink closer to your face, with the burgundy in a skirt or trouser.
2. Burgundy and Mustard Yellow: Bold and Cheerful
For those who love a pop of colour and aren’t afraid to make a statement, combining burgundy with mustard yellow creates a vibrant, high-energy look. This pairing is perfect for brightening up the dull autumn and winter days and adding a touch of fun to your wardrobe.
This particular combination works especially well on those with Deep and Warm dominant colouring types with an element of clarity too. The warmth of the mustard is great for those with a warm undertone and will warm up the rather neutral-cool burgundy making them an excellent match for the autumn months.
Style tip: Try a mustard yellow scarf or coat layered over a burgundy dress for a look that’s both bold and balanced or if you’re feeling particularly bold, go for a mustard yellow blouse and burgundy trouser.
3. Burgundy and Navy Blue: Timeless and Chic
Burgundy and navy blue are a classic pairing that exudes sophistication and versatility. Navy, being a neutral, allows the deep richness of burgundy to shine while maintaining a polished and chic aesthetic. Whether for work or casual wear, this combination works well for any occasion, ensuring you look effortlessly put together.
This particular combination works especially well on those with Deep and Cool dominant colouring types. If you aren’t sure about burgundy, this combination is your best bet as you can just add in a touch of burgundy to your accessories.
Style tip: A navy blazer or trousers with a burgundy top or accessories creates an understated yet fashionable outfit perfect for any setting.
4. Burgundy and Grey: Sleek and Minimal
If you’re drawn to a more minimalist or monochromatic palette, pairing burgundy with grey offers a sleek and modern look. The cool neutrality of grey tones down the intensity of burgundy while maintaining a sophisticated edge, making it a great option for women who prefer understated elegance.
This particular combination also works especially well on those with Deep and Cool dominant colouring types.
Style tip: A grey coat or trousers with a burgundy sweater or bag can create a clean, streamlined outfit for the cooler months, great for those who have established a capsule wardrobe but want to add a touch of colour.
5. Burgundy and Olive Green: Earthy and Cozy
For a more grounded and earthy vibe, try pairing burgundy with olive green. This combination is both cozy and stylish, perfect for creating autumnal outfits that feel connected to nature. The deep tones complement each other beautifully, resulting in a harmonious and balanced look that works well for casual and layered outfits.
This particular combination works especially well on those with Warm dominant colouring types, with an element of depth too.
Style tip: A burgundy scarf with an olive green jacket can add depth and texture to your look, ideal for outdoor adventures or cozying up indoors.
