If you ask me, colour trends are the best trends. And since they’re not dictated by climate, you can start wearing them before many of the other upcoming trends for a given season. We predicted this autumn’s biggest colour trend way back in October 2023, and guess what? We were right. It’s burgundy that’s emerged as *the* colour to wear, and even though the rich, elegant hue is typically thought to be a fall colour, people have been embracing it all summer long. It’s a strong indication that it’s really going to be everywhere when autumn rolls around.
The first indication of the bright future of burgundy was actually on the S/S 24 runways, where Gucci and Bottega Veneta, among others, laid the groundwork. Even more brands jumped on the oxblood bandwagon with their F/W 24 collections, including Prada and Ferragamo. Additionally, burgundy has been all over the red carpet and my Instagram feed as of late, and every time I check a site’s new arrivals, there are new burgundy goods to shop. So yes, we were right. In celebration, let’s shop.
