How to wear burgundy
Burgundy is a deep, cool wine red - purple-leaning where maroon is brown-leaning - and that coolness is the key to styling it. It looks its most expensive against other cool tones: grey, navy, icy light blue and crisp white. Warm metallics are the classic exception, so gold, camel and tan add richness without clashing, and forest green makes the festive pairing everyone reaches for in winter. Blush keeps it soft; black and teal turn it dramatic.
Because it's a cool, deep shade, burgundy is a hero colour for the Deep Winter and True Winter palettes, where it flatters the way a bright red might overwhelm. If reds sometimes look off on you, the cool-versus-warm split is usually why - our undertone test and seasonal palettes pin down the exact red for your season.
Burgundy vs maroon: which is which?
The two get mixed up constantly, but the difference is worth knowing because it changes what suits you. Burgundy is cooler and more purple - a true wine red - while maroon is warmer and browner, a red-brown. Burgundy flatters cool, winter colouring and loves grey, navy and icy blues; maroon flatters warm, autumn colouring and loves camel, olive and gold. When a deep red looks muddy against your skin, swapping to the warmer or cooler version is usually the fix.
