AUTUMN'S BIGGEST TREND: BURGUNDY

It’s official, burgundy is *the* colour of the season (and we’re not complaining). Deep shades of cherry and mahogany have saturated the runways since AW24 – a fresh evolution on the red trend from summer. The shade is taking the street-style scene by storm with merlot-rich accessories, tops and dresses dominating autumn. Whether you want to wear the trend from head-to-toe or simply put on a burgundy cardigan, let us help you build your A/W wardrobe with this new IT shade.

Monochromatic dressing is always a good idea, whether you’re off-duty or heading to your next night out, so swap black knits for a burgundy option this autumn. Our current fave? ARKET’s knitted turtleneck. The semi-sheer knit pairs perfectly with Topshop's faux-leather burgundy trousers, adding depth and dimension by playing with texture – a quick and effective way to rock that ‘I just threw this on’ energy.

When it comes to autumn styling, a coat or jacket is the cornerstone to any good outfit. So why not up lift your ensembles with a burgundy coat or burgundy jacket that won't require you to sacrifice on warmth? If you didn't manage to get your hands on *that* viral coat, this trench from ASOS DESIGN is perfect to help you wrap up in style. For a classic you'll pull out year after year, look no further than this funnel-neck coat – it'll have you beating the seasonal chill and looking good while doing it. Add a burgundy jumper underneath and you’re ready to brace those freezing temps. Suddenly the cold weather doesn't seem so bad...

With almost every bag being treated to a burgundy makeover this season, take a page out of Gucci and Victoria Beckham's AW24 lookbooks by adding colour to your accessory game – a nod to the runways without feeling overly trend-led. New Look's burgundy shoulder bag is just as versatile as your everyday black style, just with a little extra something-something. For a tonal look, pair with a burgundy dress – this one from ASOS DESIGN is our personal fave. To finish the look? Add a boxy blazer or leather jacket.
