Fall 2012 Trends: Burgandy

(Elizabeth Olsen)



This colour is the major trend I say EVERYWHERE. Not only was it all over the runways but celebrities are all over it. The photo above is the Elizabeth Olsen, the younger sister of fashion icons Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Burgundy has obviously been around for forever, it's a colour after all, but this fall it's huge. Obviously a full suede suit is a little over the top but there are definitely some more wearable options that make it so you can confidently rock this colour. 
My personal favourite way, especially for fall, is with a scarf. I've been lusting for an AA circle scarf for a while now and I think I need to cave and spend the $35.00 and get one before I move down to rainy Vancouver. But getting it in 'truffle' is definitely a way to intergrade it into your wardrobe. 
Another way I love is coloured jeans. My friend Jill has a pair of almost suede burgundy pants and they're awesome. But there are lots of just plain jeans in this colour already floating around, and a lot more will be cropping up as fall rolls around (Urban Outfitter has some really cute ones in stock online). The last, and maybe most subtle, way to work this colour is with shoes. They're just a little something to top off the outfit. I personally chose Converse because I've been a huge fan and have been personally wearing them since middle school. They're super comfy and generally pretty inexpensive. Moral of the story, there's a lot of ways you can make this colour work for you without having to whip out the full suede suit, because not everyone can rock it like an Olsen sister.
