While black, navy and grey will always be in trend, there is usually a pop of colour that dominates the catwalk, and this season you’d better get ready for the burgundy trend.

Last Winter was all about red and butter yellow, but this Autumn/Winter 2024-2025 season they’ve made room for, in my opinion, more elegant, grown-up deep red hues.

It is the perfect rich colour to embrace the new season with, so synonymous is it with Autumn. Not so bold as to antagonise the colour-averse, I would go so far as saying it’s the perfect shade to dip your toe in with if you usually exclusively wear black.

During Fashion Month, it was impossible to ignore the colour, since I spotted it at almost every single show, from New York to Paris. Many, many designers put their spin on it, and the result was nothing short of breathtaking – but more importantly, wearable.

Elsewhere, there were more classic takes on the shade: a suit with matching shoes at Ferragamo, a cape coat at Erdem, a drop-waist dress at 16Arlington.

But there were also those that broke it up with other colours. I loved Etro’s burgundy and silver skirts and coats, paired with grey knits and knee-high socks, and Bottega Veneta’s turquoise and wine ombre shirt and skirt set – two colours I wouldn’t have dreamed would work together.
