If you’re tuned into the season’s latest trends, then you’ve likely noticed that black shades don’t seem to be holding quite as much weight this year as they normally would. Of course, I’m still seeing plenty of black out and about, but recently I’ve noticed that rich burgundy colours have been catching my eye just as much. In fact, I don’t think ever seen another colour rival black quite as much as burgundy has this year.
Taking her cue from London’s most stylish, even Catherine, Princess of Wales was spotted styling the red wine shade this week. Arriving for an engagement at Buckingham Palace today, Middleton styled a head-to-toe burgundy outfit complete with a rouge hat and tall burgundy boots.
Taking a monochromatic approach to her event styling, The Princess of Wales wore a knee-length burgundy coat neatly fastened with tonal leather gloves and a spattering of pearl jewellery. Completing her outfit with a small Chanel bag in the same ruby hue, Middleton proved that she’s just as looped in the season’s biggest trends as she’s ever been.
While this all-burgundy look feels like quite a statement, it’s actually a colour we’ve seen Middleton reach for many times. Often styling shades that toe the line between burgundy and aubergine, Middleton has been known to favour rich berry tones for engagements throughout the winter months.
While I’m not here to tell you that black is by any means “out”, the Princess’ endorsement has certainly asserted that burgundy is a key shade to watch this winter.
