What Color Is Burgundy
Burgundy is a rich, deep reddish-purple color. It sits between red and brown on the color spectrum, and depending on the mix, it can lean slightly more toward purple or brown. Burgundy is considered a warm color due to its red base, but it can appear cooler if paired with shades like blue or gray.
Is Burgundy A Feminine Color
While burgundy is certainly elegant and can be styled in feminine ways — think flowing dresses or silky blouses — it’s also incredibly gender-neutral. The deepness of the color and its association with luxury makes it a favorite for both masculine and feminine aesthetics. It’s all about how you style it!
What Colors Go With Burgundy
So here are the best complementary colors to style with burgundy:
White
White and burgundy together create a fresh, sophisticated color scheme that’s perfect for any season. The lighter shade of white highlights burgundy’s richness. For example, I personally love styling white jeans with a burgundy sweater, blazer, or jacket for a chic look.
Blush Pink
Blush pink adds a soft, romantic contrast to deep burgundy. So together, they create a beautiful palette that feels modern yet timeless. For example, style a blush pink sweater with a burgundy slip skirt for a chic look.
Navy Blue
Navy and burgundy are another match made in heaven. The deep tones create a dramatic, elegant look perfect for work or evening. Style a navy outfit with touches of burgundy. Like a bag, pair of shoes, or more.
Gray
Light gray tones create a beautiful softness when paired with burgundy. It feels cool, chic, and less intense than pairing with black. Try pairing a burgundy outfit with a grey bag, or a grey pair of trousers for a chic look.
Gold
For accessories, nothing beats pairing burgundy with gold. It’s so chic and instantly adds warmth and elevates the entire look.
Olive Green
Burgundy and olive are both earthy tones that balance each other beautifully, making this a great pairing for casual fall and spring outfits.
How To Style Burgundy
Burgundy Blazer and White Jeans
Pair a structured burgundy blazer with crisp white jeans and loafers for a fresh yet professional spring look.
Burgundy Midi Dress with Gold Accessories
A deep red midi dress styled with gold earrings, bangles, and strappy sandals is perfect for an outdoor wedding or fancy brunch.
Burgundy Skirt and Blush Sweater
Combine a burgundy skirt with a cozy blush pink sweater for a soft, feminine look ideal for chilly spring mornings.
Burgundy Handbag with Navy Outfit
Add a pop of color to your navy outfit with a deep burgundy handbag. It’s an effortless way to incorporate burgundy without overwhelming your look.
Whether you’re building a wardrobe around burgundy or just looking for the perfect complementary colors, this beautiful hue is versatile and stunning. Don’t be afraid to mix it with earthy tones, play with tones create combinations, or use it as a bold accent.
