Why Rich Burgundy is the Colour You Need Now
A deep, decadent hue is taking centre stage across runways, street style feeds and curated wardrobes alike. Meet rich burgundy - a bold, wine-soaked shade that oozes luxury, depth and quiet confidence. It’s timeless yet daring, and it’s fast becoming the go-to colour for fashion-forward buyers looking to elevate their look without sacrificing wearability.
More versatile than black, more intriguing than red, burgundy is the unexpected neutral that flatters every skin tone, works across textures and transitions seamlessly from day to night.
Here’s how to wear it five different ways:
1. The Luxe Boilersuit
For the ultimate one-and-done statement, reach for a rich burgundy boilersuit. Think structured shoulders, zip detailing and a cinched waist for that strong-meets-effortless silhouette. Dress it up with heels and a coat, or ground it with sneakers for streetwear cool.
2. The Versatile Top
Wear it layered under an oversized blazer, tucked into high-waisted trousers or peeking out beneath a chunky scarf. Day or night, it adds warmth without bulk - and serious outfit points.
3. The After-Dark Slip Dress
Ditch your LBD for a burgundy silk slip. This moody twist on a classic screams evening elegance with edge. Style it with strappy heels, a sleek coat and gold jewellery for a look that feels equal parts power and play.
4. Tailored Trousers for the Modern Minimalist
Rich burgundy tailoring is the bold move you didn’t know your weekday wardrobe needed. Go head-to-toe with matching suiting or break it up with a simple tank and statement belt. Structured but never stiff.
5. Just a Touch - Accessories that Pop
Not ready to commit fully? Try a pop of burgundy with a sculptural handbag, angular sunglasses or buttery leather boots. It’s the easiest way to tap into the trend without changing your whole wardrobe.
Burgundy is more than just a colour - it’s a vibe, and it’s having a major moment. At Alliance of Kin, we’re all in.
