Burgundy is one of those colors that looks rich without trying too hard. It’s deep enough to work like a neutral, but it still reads as a color. The trick is knowing what to put next to it.

This guide covers 21 complete burgundy outfits organized by color pairing. They range from easy pairings like cream, camel and gray to less expected ones like teal, burnt orange and fuchsia. Each look names the burgundy piece, what to wear with it, shoes and a bag, and where it works best: the office, weekends, dinner or the holidays.

Quick Color Guide: What Goes With Burgundy

1. Burgundy and Cream: Cable Sweater with Wide-Leg Trousers

Wear a burgundy cable-knit sweater with cream wide-leg trousers, tan loafers and a camel tote. Cream softens burgundy without washing it out, and the whole look reads warm and pulled-together. If your sweater is long, do a loose front tuck so the high waist of the trousers shows; it keeps the wide legs from swallowing you. Great for weekend errands or a casual office day. Swap: ivory jeans work instead of trousers.

2. Cream and Burgundy: Chunky Knit with a Satin Midi Skirt

For a dinner version of the same pairing, flip the roles. Put on a chunky cream sweater and let a burgundy satin midi skirt do the talking. Add chocolate knee boots and a small burgundy or brown shoulder bag. Pairing a thick knit with shiny satin is the whole appeal, so keep jewelry minimal. Wear it to a dinner date or a holiday gathering. Swap: a cream turtleneck if you want less bulk.

3. Burgundy and Gray: Crewneck Sweater with a Pleated Skirt

Layer a burgundy crewneck over a white collared shirt, then add a gray pleated midi skirt, black loafers and a structured black bag. Gray cools burgundy down, so the look feels calm rather than loud. Let the collar and a bit of the cuffs peek out; that small strip of white breaks up the two darker colors. Wear it on a casual workday or for weekend coffee. Swap: gray wool trousers instead of the skirt.

4. Gray and Burgundy: Gray Suit with a Burgundy Turtleneck

For the office, wear a gray blazer and matching trousers with a fitted burgundy turtleneck. Add burgundy pumps and a black or gray work tote. Repeating burgundy at the neck and feet ties the outfit together, top and bottom. A thin knit keeps the suit from looking bulky, and fine merino is ideal. Good for meetings, interviews or any day you want to look polished. Swap: burgundy loafers for a lower heel.

5. Burgundy and Blush Pink: Pinstripe Trousers with a Soft Shirt

Pair burgundy pinstripe wide-leg trousers with a blush button-down shirt, burgundy slingbacks and a small cream bag. Pink and burgundy come from the same red family, so they blend instead of fighting. Tuck the shirt in fully and roll the sleeves once; the defined waist balances the full trousers. Great for brunch or a creative office. Swap: plain burgundy trousers if pinstripes feel too busy.

6. Burgundy and Fuchsia: Sweater with a Bright Pleated Skirt

Feeling bolder? Wear a burgundy sweater with a fuchsia pleated midi skirt, a black leather jacket and black ankle boots, plus a black crossbody. Fuchsia brightens burgundy, and the black jacket keeps the two pinks from looking too sweet. Keep the sweater close-fitting so the skirt’s movement stays the focus. Wear it to a gallery visit, a birthday lunch or a fun night out. Swap: a hot-pink knit and burgundy skirt for a reversed version.

7. Burgundy and Chocolate Brown: Mock-Neck with Wide Trousers

Tuck a sleeveless burgundy mock-neck top into chocolate wide-leg trousers, and add burgundy pointed pumps and a burgundy top-handle bag. Brown and burgundy both have warm undertones, so the outfit looks tonal and rich. This works best with a true burgundy or maroon top, since a purple-leaning wine can look a little off next to brown. Ideal for the office or a work dinner. Swap: a brown blazer over the top in cold weather.

8. Burgundy and Camel: Turtleneck, Camel Coat and Dark Jeans

Wear a burgundy turtleneck with dark straight-leg jeans and a long camel coat, finished with cognac ankle boots and a tan shoulder bag. Camel is a classic partner for burgundy: warm, simple, and easy to repeat all season. Make the coat the longest layer, ideally hitting at or below the knee, so the outfit looks streamlined. Wear it for errands, travel days or a casual Friday. Swap: camel trousers instead of jeans for a work look.

9. Burgundy and Navy: Silk Blouse with a Navy Blazer and Trousers

Wear a navy blazer and navy trousers with a burgundy silk or satin blouse, adding burgundy loafers and a navy tote. Navy is calmer than black, so burgundy reads as polished rather than dramatic. Choose a blouse with a little sheen, which keeps two dark colors from looking flat. A strong option for business casual, conferences or client meetings. Swap: dark-wash jeans instead of trousers on Fridays.

10. Burgundy and Light Blue: Oxford Shirt with a Pleated Midi Skirt

Tuck a crisp light blue oxford shirt into a burgundy pleated midi skirt, then add burgundy loafers, a navy shoulder bag and small gold hoops. Light blue gives burgundy a fresh, cool contrast that looks smart and a little preppy. A slim belt at the waist keeps the shirt neat and shows off the skirt’s movement. Wear it to the office, church or a spring brunch. Swap: a pale blue sweater over a white tee.

11. Burgundy and Denim: Cardigan Top with Straight Jeans

Button up a fitted burgundy cardigan and wear it as a top with mid-wash straight jeans. Add burgundy ballet flats and a burgundy shoulder bag. Repeating burgundy in the shoes and bag makes a simple jeans outfit look intentional. Choose a short cardigan that ends at the jeans’ waistband, which keeps your legs looking long. Perfect for weekends, school pickup or shopping. Swap: white sneakers for longer walking days.

12. Burgundy and White: Pencil Skirt with a Crisp Shirt

Wear a burgundy pencil skirt with a tucked white button-down, burgundy pumps and a black structured bag. White keeps burgundy bright and sharp, which makes this one of the easiest work outfits to copy. Belt the waist and roll the cuffs once, so the skirt shape stays clean. Good for the office, presentations or a lunch meeting. Swap: a white fitted knit instead of a shirt for winter.

13. Burgundy and Black: Velvet Slip Dress with a Black Coat

For evening, wear a burgundy velvet slip dress with sheer black tights, black pumps, a long black wool coat and a small black clutch. Black makes burgundy deeper and more dramatic. Velvet catches the light, so the dress doesn’t disappear against the dark layers. Throw on a slim black cardigan if the straps feel too bare. Ideal for holiday parties, dinners and concerts. Swap: a wine satin dress if velvet isn’t available.

14. Burgundy and Olive: Sweater Dress with a Utility Jacket

Wear a burgundy knit sweater dress with an olive utility jacket, brown knee-high boots and a tan crossbody bag. Olive and burgundy are earthy opposites, and together they look relaxed without feeling plain. Push up the jacket sleeves and leave it open so the dress stays visible down the middle. Great for weekend outings, pumpkin patches or casual dates. Swap: an olive cardigan for a softer look.

15. Burgundy and Emerald: Velvet Blazer with a Green Camisole

Wear a burgundy velvet blazer over an emerald silk camisole, with black straight trousers, black heeled boots and gold earrings. Emerald and burgundy are both jewel tones, which makes this pairing feel festive and grown-up. Keep the trousers black so the two colors have room to shine. Perfect for office holiday parties and New Year’s Eve dinners. Swap: a deep green sweater instead of the camisole for a cozier version.

16. Burgundy Accessories with Neutrals: Loafers and Bag

You don’t need a burgundy garment to wear the color. Pair an oatmeal sweater, ivory trousers and a beige trench, then add burgundy loafers and a burgundy shoulder bag. The neutrals make the two burgundy pieces stand out as a deliberate accent. Match the shoe and bag shades as closely as you can; oxblood leather works well here. Great for workdays or travel, and an easy way to try burgundy first. Swap: a burgundy scarf instead of the bag.

17. Burgundy and Burnt Orange: Rust Turtleneck with a Suede Skirt

Pair a burnt-orange ribbed turtleneck with a burgundy suede or faux-suede A-line midi skirt, cognac boots and a brown bag. These warm autumn colors sit near each other on the color wheel, so they blend instead of clashing. Suede adds a soft texture that matches the fall mood. Wear it for fall dinners, Thanksgiving or an apple-picking day. Swap: a burgundy corduroy skirt for a more casual feel.

18. Burgundy and Teal: Sweater with a Leather Midi Skirt

Wear a deep teal sweater with a burgundy faux-leather midi skirt, black ankle boots and a black bag. Teal is cool and burgundy is warm, so they balance each other in a way that looks fresh for winter. Tuck the sweater into the skirt, or tie it at the waist, so the skirt’s shape stays clear. Lovely for date nights or a holiday shopping day. Swap: a teal blouse for the office.

19. Burgundy Monochrome: Knit, Trousers and Long Coat

Build a head-to-toe burgundy look: a wine knit, burgundy wide-leg trousers, a long burgundy or oxblood coat, matching boots and a small bag. Monochrome works best when the shades vary slightly, so mixing wine, burgundy and oxblood adds depth. Mix textures too, such as ribbed knit, wool and leather, so the outfit doesn’t look flat. Great for dinners, city days and cold-weather events. Swap: a cream coat if full monochrome feels like too much.

20. Burgundy and Leopard: Sweater with a Printed Midi Skirt

Wear a burgundy sweater with a leopard-print midi skirt, burgundy knee boots and a black leather bag. Leopard behaves like a warm neutral, and its brown tones work naturally with burgundy. Keep everything else solid so the print has room. Fun for a girls’ night, a casual dinner or a holiday market. Swap: a leopard scarf with a plain skirt if prints feel bold.

21. Burgundy and Stone: Knit Tank with Linen Trousers for Summer

Burgundy isn’t only for cold weather. Wear a burgundy sleeveless knit tank with stone or khaki linen trousers, tan flat sandals and a woven bag. Light, earthy neutrals keep the deep color from feeling heavy in warm weather. A fitted tank with wide trousers looks balanced and stays cool. Great for summer dinners, vacations and warm workdays. Swap: a white linen skirt instead of trousers.

How to Style Burgundy: Shades, Proportions and Accessories

Know your shade.

• Burgundy is a deep red with a hint of brown and purple, so it goes with almost anything.
• Wine leans slightly more purple, so it looks best with cool colors like gray, navy and light blue.
• Maroon is browner, so it’s easy with camel, chocolate and olive.
• Oxblood is very dark red-brown, most often seen in leather shoes and bags.

Balance the proportions.

• Pair a chunky burgundy sweater with slimmer or longer bottoms.
• Pair wide burgundy trousers with a fitted top or a tucked shirt.
• With dark, heavy fabrics, a little visible waist goes a long way.

Choose shoes and bags with purpose.

• Repeating burgundy in your shoes or bag is the easiest way to make an outfit look planned (see outfits 4, 5 and 11).
• When the burgundy piece is large, neutral shoes in black, brown, tan or cream let it lead.
• Gold jewelry warms burgundy. Silver works better with wine and cool pairings.

FAQs

These questions are based on Pinterest’s suggested searches for this topic.

What colors go with burgundy clothes? Cream, camel, gray, navy, blush pink, chocolate brown, denim and black are the easiest. For something less expected, try olive, emerald, teal, light blue or burnt orange. The color guide at the top of this post shows a starter outfit for each.

What shoes go with a burgundy outfit? Black, brown, cognac, tan and cream shoes all work. Burgundy or oxblood shoes are a smart choice when the rest of the outfit is neutral, because they repeat the color. Loafers and ankle boots fit casual and work looks; pumps and heeled boots suit evening.

Can you wear burgundy in summer? Yes. Pick lighter fabrics like linen, cotton or a fine knit, and pair burgundy with light neutrals such as stone, khaki, white or cream. A burgundy tank or skirt with sandals and a woven bag feels seasonal rather than wintry.

Do burgundy and black go together? They do, especially for evening. Black makes burgundy look deeper and more dramatic. For daytime, you may prefer navy, gray or brown, which feel a little softer than black.
