The hottest color this fall is undoubtedly burgundy. So mysterious yet inviting, no one will be able to resist this deep seductive hue! Having seen the color make numerous appearances in the Fall/Winter 2011 fashion shows, it’s a fashion lovers’ calling to bring the look from runway to the real way.
Here are 5 easy quick to try out the trend now before making the big leap when fall officially hits…
On your lips
Have no fear! May not seem like it at first but wine dipped lips are flattering on all skin tones. Wear it during the day at the office and go easy on eye and face makeup. Wear it during girls’ night and keep the eyes sultry ala Michelle Trachtenberg to look fabulous.
On your shoulders
Mini bags are all the hot rage right now and what better way to tackle 2 trends with one purchase? Burgundy can be fun but it can be worn down by uninspiring designs. So, look for purses with a classic shape but modern details like this Millie Paige hottie.
On your body
A sweater dress is nothing new but one in a deep shade of red makes things interesting. Toss that sloppy old sweater for a more feminine alternative and you’ll still be just as festive and comfortable. Wear it alone with a cross-body purse and booties in the fall and update the look later with a heavy loop scarf, black tights and riding boots.
On your feet
Pairing burgundy boots with your fall neutrals will give any of your outfit an interesting color palette. Burgundy booties + gray knee socks = warm and chic! Also, wearing it against your all-black ensemble in when it gets chilly give your outfit instant pop of color.
On your nails
Don’t feel like committing to this hot color just yet? Then painting your nails in the deepest maroon shade you can find at the drugstore is as non-committal as it is economical. Chances are, you already have this color in your stash, but wearing it with that matching lipstick will bring you a new perspective.
