Over the past few seasons, we’ve seen a tantalizing menu of colors, from cherry red to avocado green to chocolate brown, whet the fashion world’s tastebuds. It was only a matter of time until our color palettes extended to the world of wine. Yes, we’re talking about rich burgundy. The vintner-approved shade has become our new obsession, and we’re ready to take a big swig.

Culinary jokes aside, burgundy is a practical color to invest in for the season ahead. Effortlessly straddling the line between a pop and a neutral, it’s softer and easier to wear than a bright red, yet more impactful than your classic black or brown.

In the fall 2025 fashion collections, we saw burgundy prominently featured in the collections of Khaite, Ferragamo, Saint Laurent, and Max Mara; it plays a starring role in Demna’s Gucci as well, in looks 6 and 20, of his just-dropped spring/summer 2026 lookbook. In the runway-to-real life transition, burgundy clothes ground a number of our favorite street style looks from outside the latest shows, proving it’s one of the easier fall color trends to work in your wardrobe.
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 eight of our favorite ways to wear it right now, in our edit of burgundy outfits, below.
A Strong Pour
Burgundy dresses will make a striking impact, both during and after business hours, allowing you to keep the rest of your look simple yet fashion-forward with a modern trench coat and snakeskin extras for a graphic punch.

Just to Taste
Incorporate a touch of texture in your typical denim look with a wool cardigan in burgundy, layered perhaps over a white crewneck T-shirt or long-sleeve top. A stylish heeled Mary Jane adds just the right amount of height and additional preppy tones to Frame’s straight-leg jeans.

Another Round, Please!
Switch up your typical matching skirt or suit set by trying it in shades of burgundy. We love Stella McCartney’s long-sleeve ribbed cardigan layered with the coordinating asymmetric bodycon midi, but you can just as easily recreate the look with a mini skirt or maxi skirt. Leather knee-high boots complete this picture-perfect fall outfit.

Well-Balanced
It’s not time to put away the poplin just yet! Team your favorite white skirt with a burgundy leather jacket—Nour Hammour’s Drey is a bestseller for the brand—and slim-fit turtleneck top for a wear-anywhere that bridges the best of both late summer and early fall/winter fashion.

Bottoms Up
Wide-leg burgundy trousers are an unexpected way to elevate your typical office outfit. We love them paired with deep brown and crisp white for more tonal take on how to wear maroon. A minimalist shoulder bag or crossbody bag in black, white, or maroon would work nicely here.

Gets Better With Age
A-line skirts, especially those cast in leather, or velvet, continue to be a must-have item for fall, and we’re loving them in shades of burgundy. Make wearing maroon 9-to-5 chic by adding a grey collarless blazer, oversized clutch, and funky heels to the mix.

Full-Bodied
Take a cue from fall’s biggest trends on how to wear burgundy and pair your plaid, draped shirt with suede and corduroy accessories—we’re partial to Liffner’s Sprout tote, and Dries Van Noten’s edgy trousers. Top it off with a splash of maroon by way of Aeyde’s scrunched ballet flats.

One of our favorite ways to transition our go-to summertime skirts is by teaming them with cropped, twill jackets for coverage—and a hint of the outdoors! Add a drip of merlot with Saint Laurent’s classic bucket bag.
