Transitioning out of your winter wardrobe can be tough, especially when you’re slowly reincorporating color into your everyday wardrobe. Luckily, with the help of some darker tones such as maroon, the shift from neutral shades to candy-colored hues is easier than you’d think. The deep wine tone not only gives your ensembles an added touch of color, but it also feels incredibly versatile with anything you’re gravitating toward this season. That said, there are a handful of colors to go with maroon guaranteed to take the jewel tone up to an entirely new level. So why not let those be your starting point?
Like its deep indigo counterpart navy, maroon can often be seen as a neutral when considering the infinite spectrum of colors. However, depending on the colors you style with it, items in the dark red shade act as the focal point of your ensemble, or conversely the pieces that tie everything together. Below, you’ll find the seven colors to wear with maroon that will always look good. Scroll down to see them all, and then shop a few pieces in each hue to start wearing maroon on a regular basis.
