If you have visited the shops or looked online recently, you will have noticed that there are lots of burgundy tones available in clothing right now. If you have already invested in burgundy clothes in previous years, you will be pleased to know that you are right on trend this year! Lift out those items again and think about trying them in new ways and with unusual colour combinations. You may have a burgundy skirt, trousers or jacket that you could wear alongside one of your best colours near your face. Alternatively, why not introduce a pop of burgundy through your accessories such as purse or bag?
A true burgundy sits in the medium to deep range of colours which means it can be a heavy-looking colour for some people to wear, especially close to your face. With a Colour Me Beautiful Colour Consultation I can show you not just what colours you can wear but how to wear colour!
So, how can you wear this colour if it is not in your palette? Here are some ideas on how you can incorporate a traditional burgundy colour into your outfit.
If your colouring is Light, try wearing it with a pastel pink or sky blue. This is a gorgeous combination for you. If your colouring is Deep, burgundy is a perfect colour for you and it looks so luxurious worn with forest green. If your colouring is Warm, wear this with warm tones such as amber or oatmeal. If your colouring is Cool, this will look amazing when cooled down with a hot pink or fuchsia hue. If your colouring is Clear, aqua or mint will really lift this colour and create a fresh and bright contrast for you. For those with Softer colouring, a softer brown like cocoa or rose-brown will look so chic and elegant on you.
There are so many colour tones which are like Burgundy such as Damson, Wine and Aubergine. Discover more about choosing the best colours to wear and how to wear them in a Colour Consultation.
