Burgundy – Dress the Part in 2016

From Dior to Burberry and from Topshop to Reiss, the colour of choice that featured on many catwalks for S/S16 was burgundy. Sitting between a vibrant red and it`s more humdrum cousin - brown –burgundy can breathe new life and provide an easy wardrobe top up for Spring as well as for Summer.

Go ahead, write your new style story by employing the hue head-to-toe like voguish Parisians or add a splash with a well- chosen accessory like this handbag from affordable-luxury brand – Coach.

I paired my burgundy cashmere with a grey and gold Marc Cain skirt and a red Moschino bag and surprise-surprise (!) it worked.

Of course the safest pairing will be with subdued colours such as sand or grey, but a right shade of brighter and more unexpected colours can also make the cut. I like this fab colour-combo from Prada.

 

So let`s raise a glass to burgundy, the shade that already made its way into a modern style lexicon.
