This Will Be Fall 2025's Biggest Color Trend

If you ask me, color 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. This fall, we predict that burgundy will emerge as *the* color to wear. Even though the rich, elegant hue is typically thought to be an autumnal hue, people have been embracing it all summer long. It's a strong indication that it's really going to be everywhere when September 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 25 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.
