If you ask me, colour trends are the best trends. And since they’re not dictated by climate, you can start wearing them before many of the other upcoming trends for a given season. We predicted this autumn’s biggest colour trend way back in October 2023, and guess what? We were right. It’s burgundy that’s emerged as *the* colour to wear, and even though the rich, elegant hue is typically thought to be a fall colour, people have been embracing it all summer long. It’s a strong indication that it’s really going to be everywhere when autumn rolls around.
The first indication of the bright future of burgundy was actually on the S/S 24 runways, where Gucci and Bottega Veneta, among others, laid the groundwork. Even more brands jumped on the oxblood bandwagon with their F/W 24 collections, including Prada and Ferragamo. Additionally, burgundy has been all over the red carpet and my Instagram feed as of late, and every time I check a site’s new arrivals, there are new burgundy goods to shop. So yes, we were right. In celebration, let’s shop.
Keep scrolling to see some of 2024’s best burgundy outfit examples, and shop the most elegant pieces on the market.
