Each season, we see one specific colour achieve total domination. From Valentino pink to cherry red and Brat green, there’s always an overarching favoured shade. But as we must accept summer may well and truly be over, it’s time to look ahead.
As we descend deeper into autumn and start thinking about getting out our knits and sadly stowing away our summer dresses, the colour on everyone’s lips is burgundy. As the deeper hued iteration of last season’s cherry red, we’re welcoming it with open arms as it slots perfectly into our heavy wardrobe.
You may think it would be tricky to style burgundy, but think again. View it as you would a neutral - it’s one of those colours that go with everything. Whether it’s black tailored trousers or wide-leg blue jeans, it's the perfect addition to your capsule wardrobe.
