Fashion Trends - Burgundy Accessories.

Starting from now I will starting a new series of blog posts. They're going to be called Fashion trends, would you believe that lol, and what a surprise. They're going to be all about different fashion trends that are big at the moment.

I'm going to pick a number of pieces that are easy to wear and incorporate into any outfit. So first up is Burgundy Accessories.

Burgundy is a really easy colour to wear because it can be paired with a number of different colours, from camel, to grendyy and even black.

Burgundy Accessories were seen all over the catwalks this autumn/winter. 


So firstly, Lanvin were seen sporting it. They chose a very deep burgundy colour which I would only really recommend to people with a darker skin tone and dark hair as anyone pale or blonde for example It would look to harsh.
If this deep burgundy colour is abit of you, then i'd suggest taking inspiration from the show and wearing this deep colour head to toe, in style of a tailored dark red dress paired with a clutch bag and brogue shoes.

Woven suede cage boots £695 by Jimmy choo

So these gorgeous shoes have a much lighter shade than shown in the Lanvin show. So these bad boys are not cheap! but Christmas is coming up! and hey ho everyone deserves to treat themselves now and then. These shoes are a real statement piece, Anyone can pull off statement shoes, no matter what age you are. You don't have to be brave or ambitious with your style. These shoes are definitely guaranteed to make an impact. I'd suggest wearing these with an all black outfit such as a black leather skirt and black cashmere jumper, for a very Kim Kardashian look!

Dark red brogue Chelsea boots £35 River Island
For those of you that don't want to spend quite as much, then opt for these dark red brogue Chelsea boots. These are a much more fail-safe option, and much more practical for this colder weather we're having. These would look great with dark grey distressed jeans and a leather jacket. 

Leopard print leather belt £19.99 Mango

Next up is this belt,  which combines both the burgundy colour and leopard print. This perfect paired with boyfriend jeans and a shirt tucked in. Finished off with a nice pair of ankle boots. This would also look amazing teamed with a plain black dress and courts for work.

Burgundy fedora hat £25 Miss Selfridge

Fedora hats are my all time favourite winter accessory.They are just so elegant and prevent bad hair days that occur during winter! This is a gorgeous take on the plain black fedora.I'd  team this with either plain black leggings, or leather look leggings. A black shirt and a black cape coat and to finish it off a pair of knee high boots.

Melodie toe cap court shoes £149 Reiss

A simple court shoe is both a classic and quick way of taking casual day look into evening wear. These would look great with a simple pair of skinny jeans and a plain white tee.


Leopard print silk chiffon scarf £325 Alexander McQueen.

I had to throw in an Alexander McQueen scarf just because they're a true staple and this one is gorgeous. They may not be cheap but they are definitely worth every penny. Its a really modern alternative to the classic style. I'd let mine hand around my neck and pair it with a black sporty sweatshirt and leather leggings or a pair of dark wash jeans and a grey jumper.

Chester Tassel loafer £165, Russell and Bromley

I've been lusting after a pair of Russell and Bromley loafers for a while now and these pair are to die for. You can wear these with just about anything so defiantly worth investing on!


I thought I'd better add some jewellery quick! These necklace is absolutely gorgeous and for £20 is a bargain! This can be used to add some sparkle to any outfit. I'd pair this with a simple pair of jeans, a white shirt and those Russell and Bromley loafers shown previously!

Burgundy leather cuff £45 Jaeger
Another piece of jewellery is this lovely wide burgundy cuff from Jaeger. It's a perfect statement piece that is very fuss free. This would look great with a three quarter length sleeve top.
