I know it might be tempting to lean into a palette of moody blacks and greys as winter's dreary days set in. But if you're willing to look beyond the usual suspects, there's an elegant, rich-looking bag trend I'd recommend adding to your rotation. Wearing well with a winter wardrobe, my research has led me to discover that it pairs with virtually every shoe colour, too.

Instead of black bags, the chicest people on my radar are reaching for burgundy styles this season.

Just as easy to wear as your go-to black tote, burgundy bags are uniquely versatile. Their deep, jewel-toned hue brings a luxurious depth to heavier winter shades, whilst adding warmth and dimension to lighter ones.

I don't know about you, but I often find that putting together a great outfit is easy until I get to the bag and shoes, which always prove a little trickier. Which is precisely why this chameleon-like bag trend deserves an article of its own.
