30 ways to wear BURGUNDY!

Can you believe that I've found 30 ways to wear BURGUNDY.  Well I think I got carried away and it's actually 36 but you may find the odd duplicate!  

It seems you don't have to worry about this gorgeous color because whatever your coloring and whatever your style you can guarantee that Burgundy will work with your current closet. 

It's one of our favorite and best loved colors, I don't know that it ever really goes out of style but BURGUNDY is certainly in with a BANG this season!

Although I've shown you the difference between Burgundy and Maroon before, you don't have to get too hung up about the different undertones because, most of the time you'll find it really doesn't matter. 

Of course you can wear top to toe Burgundy but what fun we can have with color mixing! 

Simply classic with Neutrals

When you begin to try your own 30 ways to wear Burgundy you'll find it one of the most useful stalwarts in your wardrobe as it happily teams with all and any of the neutrals you have already! 

Although many fashion pundits say that burgundy/brown is a no-go, our Princess of Wales has proved it otherwise! 

Have you noticed how colors change depending on the colors they're surrounded by? 

Wearing burgundy with a light tone such as white, cream and chambray blue allows it to look strong and rich whereas teamed with a deeper neutral it becomes the lighter and brighter of the two. 

I've included leopard print which is almost regarded as a 'neutral' in it's own right!

Casually elegant with black!

Any purchase that you can wear with the existing black separates in your wardrobe will earn it's place in your capsule wardrobe!

Chicos shows how a couple of key pieces from their Travellers range bring a new dimension to simple black separates. Just a couple of accessories creates an effortlessly stylish finish ready to take you from day to night time!
