Burgundy Wide-Leg Trousers: Shades, Fabrics and How to Wear Them

Burgundy wide-leg trousers are full-cut trousers in a deep purplish red, and they are easiest to wear when you treat the colour as a dark neutral and build the rest of the outfit in ivory, black, camel and more wine. Our edit of designer wide-leg trousers holds every cut, the Andres Otalora brand page has the new wine Latiendo trouser from Fall Winter 2026, and our guide to wide-leg trousers covers the shape in every colour.

Key facts

• Burgundy and wine are deep purplish reds, while oxblood is browner and darker.
• The Andres Otalora Latiendo Pants are wine wide-leg trousers in 69% rayon, 27% nylon and 4% spandex.
• The Sombra Clara Embroidered Top is a strapless wine top in the same composition as the Latiendo Pants.
• Every piece in the Andres Otalora Fall Winter 2026 collection is labelled Made in Colombia.

To be clear from the start: the Andres Otalora wine trouser is one piece. The rest of the picks below are pairing pieces, tops and other wide legs from the same collection, chosen to show how the colour works. For the strapless top that matches it, see our guide to bustier tops.

Burgundy, wine and oxblood: what is the difference?

All three are deep reds with a dark base; the difference is in the undertone. Burgundy and wine lean purple, oxblood leans brown.

• Burgundy takes its name from the red wine of the French region. It is a deep purplish red, and in most shop listings it is used interchangeably with wine.
• Wine is the word Andres Otalora uses for the Latiendo trouser and the Sombra Clara top. It sits in the same family as burgundy: deep, purplish, rich under warm light.
• Oxblood is browner and darker, closer to old leather. It reads almost black at night.
• Maroon is a duller brownish red, less saturated than burgundy.

Under daylight, burgundy shows its red. Under evening light it drops towards plum. That shift is why the colour works so well for winter: it looks warm by day and quiet by night.

Why choose a wide leg in burgundy?

A wide leg gives a dark colour room to move. The fabric falls from the hip in long vertical folds, and each fold catches the light differently, so a deep red shows depth instead of reading as a flat block. A slim trouser in the same shade looks heavier.

The wide leg also balances the top half. With a fitted strapless top and a tucked blouse, the line runs narrow at the waist and long to the floor. Wear it with a heel and the hem should just clear the ground; with a flat, have it shortened by one to two centimetres so it does not drag.

How to wear burgundy wide-leg trousers

Treat burgundy as a dark neutral, then choose one of four pairings and stay with it for the whole outfit.

• With ivory: the softest pairing. An off-white silk blouse lifts the red and looks right for a lunch and a gallery visit. Off-white also warms the wine.
• With black: the evening pairing. A black silk top and a black leather belt make the trouser read almost as a dark jewel tone. Keep the shoe black too.
• With camel: the daytime pairing. A camel coat over burgundy is one of the oldest winter combinations for good reason: both are warm and neither competes.
• Tonal wine: the strongest look. A wine top over wine trousers creates a single long column, which is how Andres Otalora shows the Latiendo trouser with the Sombra Clara top. Change the texture between top and bottom so the look has depth.

Avoid bright reds next to burgundy. Two reds with different undertones fight each other, and the darker one looks muddy.

Shoes follow the same logic. Black leather suits the black pairing, brown suede suits camel, and a nude heel works with ivory because it lengthens the leg without adding a colour. For a bag, a structured black leather shape is the safest match, and a wine bag over wine trousers only works when the leathers are close in tone.

Which fabric is best for burgundy trousers?

A fabric with some drape shows a deep colour best. Rayon blends, silk and soft wool all fall in clean folds; stiff cotton holds the colour flat.

The Latiendo trouser is cut in 69% rayon, 27% nylon and 4% spandex. Rayon gives the fall and the soft surface. Nylon adds strength and helps the fabric recover its shape. The small share of spandex means the waist moves with you when you sit. The Sombra Clara top uses the same composition, which is why the two read as a pair. In linen, burgundy would look more matte and crease more; in polyester it would carry more shine.

Nine burgundy and pairing picks

The edit starts with the wine trouser and its matching top, then moves to pairing tops and other wide legs from Fall Winter 2026, and ends with an earlier trouser from the house.

1. Latiendo Pants

The Latiendo Pants are the one wine wide-leg trouser in the collection, in 69% rayon, 27% nylon and 4% spandex. The house describes refined lines and a polished finish. Wear them with a tucked blouse and a heel.

2. Sombra Clara Embroidered Top

The Sombra Clara Embroidered Top is a strapless wine bodice crossed with embroidered stripes, in the same rayon, nylon and spandex blend as the trouser. Together they make the tonal wine column, with the embroidery giving the top a texture the trouser does not have.

3. Una Luz Blouse

The Una Luz Blouse is off-white silk double georgette, a heavier two-ply crepe georgette with a soft, grainy hand. It is the ivory pairing for the Latiendo: tuck it in for a lunch, leave it loose for a weekend.

4. Permanecer Blouse

The Permanecer Blouse is black silk double georgette with one shoulder bare and a soft drape. Over the wine trouser it gives the black evening pairing in its simplest form.

5. Lo que Late Leather Belt

The Lo que Late Leather Belt is a wide, structured black leather belt that wraps the waist and ties at the front. Over a tucked blouse it marks the waist and links a black top to the wine trouser below.

6. Pulso Quieto Blouse

The Pulso Quieto Blouse is an off-white blouse in 94% polyester and 6% elastane, with a draped body gathered into a fitted waistband. The waistband sits neatly over a high-waisted trouser without tucking.

7. Profundidad Pants

The Profundidad Pants are a beige wide leg in 53% rayon and 47% nylon, with a fluid leg and careful tailoring. Worn with the Sombra Clara top they reverse the colour story: wine on top, a soft neutral below.

8. Hilo Interior Pants

The Hilo Interior Pants are an off-white wide leg in 91% polyester and 9% elastane, with a clean, flowing line. They show how the same cut reads in a pale shade, and they pair with the wine top for a lighter look.

9. Luz de Si Pant

The Luz de Si Pant is an earlier Andres Otalora trouser still at Coveti. Our listing does not give its colour, so treat it as further browsing for the house trouser cut.

For more trouser shapes, browse Johanna Ortiz, a Colombian label, plus La DoubleJ and Ulla Johnson. Our guide to embroidered trousers covers the embroidered stripe pieces from the same collection.

Wearing burgundy trousers around the world

Burgundy is a cold-season colour almost everywhere, so the question is mostly what you wear on top. In the US, demand for the colour climbs in November and December, and a wine trouser with a camel coat suits a city winter from Boston to Chicago. In the UK, the damp makes a fabric with some nylon useful because it recovers its shape after a day of wear; add a knit and an ankle boot. In Europe, a wine trouser with an off-white blouse is a natural fit for a long lunch through the autumn. In the Gulf, the cooler months bring the wedding season and evening events with warm air outside and air conditioning within. A full-length wide leg gives modest cover, and a long silk blouse over the waistband gives a lighter layer than a jacket.

How do Andres Otalora trousers fit?

The Latiendo trouser has 4% spandex, so it gives a little at the waist and hip. Andres Otalora cuts in US sizes 0 to 12 and Coveti lists the UK equivalent: a US 0 is a UK 4, a US 4 is a UK 8 and a US 6 is a UK 10. The house size chart gives body measurements (bust, waist and hip in centimetres) rather than garment measurements, and the brand gives no fit corrections, so take your usual size and check the chart on each product page.

What colour top goes with burgundy wide-leg trousers?

Ivory, black, camel and wine all work. Ivory is the softest, black the most formal, camel the most daytime, and a wine top makes a single tonal column.

Is burgundy the same as wine?

They are close. Both are deep purplish reds, and most shops use the names interchangeably; oxblood is browner and darker.

What shoes go with burgundy trousers?

Black and brown leather both work, and a nude heel lengthens the leg. Avoid bright red shoes, which clash with the darker red.

Are burgundy trousers good for winter?

Yes. Burgundy is warm in daylight and deep at night, and it sits well under camel and black coats.

Does Andres Otalora make burgundy wide-leg trousers?

Yes, one pair: the Latiendo Pants in wine, cut in 69% rayon, 27% nylon and 4% spandex. The matching Sombra Clara Embroidered Top is in the same fabric.

How long should wide-leg trousers be?

With a heel, the hem should just clear the floor. With flats, shorten them by one to two centimetres so they do not drag.
