Burgundy Leather Skirts: The Best Wine, Bordeaux and Oxblood Styles

A burgundy leather skirt is a leather skirt in a deep red with a hint of purple, the shade also sold as wine, bordeaux and oxblood, and it is the colour pick of our designer leather skirts edit this winter. The newest is the Nour Hammour Polina Flare in Wine, a high-waisted nappa skirt that releases into a sculptural flounce, cut in Paris for Resort 2027.

Below are the burgundy leather skirts we rate, the shapes that wear best, and a comparison taken from each house’s own product details.

Why burgundy works in leather

Burgundy is dark enough to wear like black, so it goes with black, grey and navy, but it warms the face and pairs with camel and cream in a way black cannot. On leather the colour deepens in low light and catches a sheen in daylight.

How to wear a burgundy leather skirt

With black, a burgundy skirt looks sharp: a black turtleneck and a pointed boot. With camel, it looks warm: a camel knit and a brown boot. Avoid pairing it with bright red; keep reds to the skirt. A cropped jacket keeps the flounce of a skirt like Polina visible.
