How To Wear Burgundy Sweater – 20 Styling Tips

The first time I put on a burgundy sweater, I thought I’d nailed autumn dressing. Rich colour, cosy texture — what could go wrong? Everything, as it turned out. The shade made my skin look muddy, the styling felt heavy, and I looked like I was wearing a costume rather than an outfit. That taught me burgundy isn’t the foolproof autumn staple everyone claims it to be. Most women treat burgundy like it’s as easy to wear as black or navy, but this deep wine shade has rules. Get them wrong and you’ll look washed out or overpowered. Get them right, and you’ll understand why burgundy has been a wardrobe hero for decades. After years of styling clients in this tricky colour, I’ve learned exactly what works — and more importantly, what doesn’t.

Styling Tips

• Wear soft makeup and a casual hairstyle to compliment the dark aura of your burgundy sweater outfit.

• Always style your burgundy outfit with boots or pointed-toe heels.

• Styling your burgundy outfit with a stylish pair of sunglasses can elevate your look beyond measures.
