Burgundy Outfit Ideas: What Colours Go With Burgundy This Winter

The short answer: burgundy goes with black, pink, camel, grey and denim, and it looks best worn head to toe in one shade with a single contrast. The easiest way in is a burgundy suit, such as the Burgundy cropped double-breasted blazer with the Burgundy trumpet-shaped tailored pants from Essentiel Antwerp. Shop designer blazers, every pair of tailored pants, and the Essentiel Antwerp winter edit.

Burgundy has become the new neutral. It is deep enough to replace black, warm enough to flatter almost every skin tone, and it photographs well under party lights. Essentiel Antwerp is the Belgian label Inge Onsea and Esfan Eghtessadi founded in Antwerp in 1999. It started as a T-shirt line in twenty colours and grew into a full ready-to-wear house known for graphic print, bold colour and a sense of humour. This winter it built a whole capsule around the colour.

Five burgundy outfits to wear now

1. Burgundy cropped double-breasted blazer

Wear it with the matching trumpet-shaped trousers and a black knit for the office, then swap the knit for the Burgundy tailored top with embellished neckline for dinner.

2. Burgundy off-shoulder sweater

A close-fitting merino and cashmere rib with a fold-over neckline. Pair it with black flared trousers and a heeled boot.

3. Burgundy cape-effect mini dress

Fluid viscose with a cape that falls from the shoulders over the back. Wear it with sheer black tights and a slim heel for a party.

4. Burgundy cape-effect top

The same cape idea as a top. It looks best over tailored black trousers.

5. Burgundy sweater with back tie

A clean front with an open back and long ties that knot into a bow. A day sweater with an evening secret.

How to wear burgundy head to toe

Keep to one shade and vary the texture: matte suiting with a merino knit, then a feather accent such as the Burgundy ostrich feather brooch. Black shoes and a black bag ground the look. For burgundy dresses from other designers, see the burgundy dresses edit.
