Every year when we move into January and the depths of winter, there are a few rituals I like to incorporate into my day-to-day life to make the darkest month feel a little brighter. In terms of routine, this often looks like a candle-lit dinner or a sunrise walk, and if we're talking fashion, you'll find me swapping out my cotton clothing for pieces in luxurious cashmere, rich velvet and supple silk, as these fabrics not only feel comforting on the skin but help me to feel like the best version of myself when it might not be as easy.
When shopping for clothing that I can count on during winter, I'm not only looking out for hard-working fabrics but also for a colour palette that works well with the new-season mood. Whilst I was fond of the vibrant red colour trend during peak summer 2023, now that we've moved into a new year, I'm finding myself more drawn to its chicer older sister—deep burgundy. Adored by the fashion set for its outfit-elevating capabilities, the rich-looking shade is on the rise this winter in the form of top-handle bags, shiny shoes and sleek leather goods everywhere I look.
This classic winter shade is ideal for working into your accessory rotation as it pairs well with such a wide range of colours, including cream, white and black. Personally, my new favourite way to wear it is to contrast it with soft peach. Whilst I have my heart set on a rich burgundy bag and a pair of deep merlot boots, I've spotted so many of my favourite brands experimenting with the colour in different ways this winter. From burgundy tights to dark berry jewels, there's no shortage of ways to integrate these tones into your wardrobe this season.
From Loewe's embellished sunglasses to Sézane's deep Bordeaux loafers, read on to discover my edit of the best burgundy accessories to shop this season.
