The New Black

OK folks, burgundy is having a major moment in fashion. As Rachel Zoe would say, “I die for it.” Fashion veterans like Jason Wu, Diane von Furstenberg, Christian Siriano, Zac Posen, and Badgley Mischka and style experts like Nina Garcia and Victoria Beckham are captivated by it. This rich, wine color is so pervasive, they’re calling burgundy the “new black.”

The most-watched designers sent burgundy designs en masse down the fall runway. We saw tailored pieces, men’s and women’s suits, oversized sweaters, coats, evening gowns, and even shoes taking on this bodacious color.

For those of you who adore deeper shades such as black, navy, gunpowder, etc, burgundy is a great color to introduce to your fall wardrobe. It looks fabulous on most complexions and blends effortlessly into your style scheme. Not to mention, burgundy pairs seamlessly with your typical fall colors including deep blues, oranges, and caramels. Burgundy, also referred to as the “bordeaux” shade, will be a style focal point for fall collections.

→ Invest in a few burgundy pieces this fall. The color will definitely suit you for any type of occasion. (My brand tips: Zappos, Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, Michael Stars.)
