Move Over, Black Boots – This Is The Shoe Color That’s Everywhere On Instagram

Cherry red and burgundy are the reigning colors of the season. To get in on the trend, here are 10 ways to wear your burgundy boots for an added pop of color.

Red is the hottest color this season and is likely to be for the next few winters. It’s a rich color that goes well with blacks and browns and works perfectly as a pop of color too. Whether with boots, a purse, or a statement lip – all shades of red are a fantastic statement.

A bright red can be a difficult shade to work for all skin undertones and hair colors, however, burgundy works well for everyone. While red can sometimes look tacky, burgundy is always chic. Boots are a way that the fashion world is bringing this statement tone into our closets, but while boots are usually an outfit afterthought, this needs to be approached differently with this color.

We’ve put together ten ways to style burgundy boots for a chic look.

10 Ways To Wear Burgundy Boots

1. Earthy Tones

When it comes to wearing a statement shoe like a red or burgundy boot, there’s no need to steer away from adding more color to your outfit.

To play it safe, you could go for more shades of red, or go for green for the perfect holiday outfit. As for the rest of your accessories, keep them neutral to blend with the rest of the colors.

2. Knitted Co-ord

Everyone needs a knitted set for the cold months. They are perfect for lounging it, or to work from home.

If you should need to dash out the door at a moment’s notice, all you need to do is throw on a pair of chunky statement boots and you’re ready for the day.

3. Power Shoulder

The infamous YSL power shoulder coat is taking over IG and TikTok – but it may be out of budget. Luckily, this takes inspiration from vintage aesthetics, and can now be found at nearly every retailer.

Pay attention to the length of the coat – the longer it is, the more expensive it will look.

4. Mini Skirt

Burgundy boots can make a bold statement, and the rest of your outfit mustn’t be too busy as the real beauty of your shoes won’t be seen if they are covered up.

This option isn’t appropriate for the cold weather however during fall months, or the start of spring – this can be a great way to dress for both seasons.

5. Herringbone Coat

Herringbone is a traditional British style of fabric. It has a chevron pattern which looks like the bones of a herring fish – thus the name.

The tones of this are warm white and black, making it a classic to go with any statement winter colors, including burgundy.

If you have a burgundy purse, this would go very well here.

6. Red Coat

The most obvious styling option is also one of the best. Burgundy is a dark tone of red, mixed with some brown, so a great way to style this is with more red.

This is the one situation where it might be worthwhile to go for a shorter coat, for the rest of the outfit to not be overpowered.

7. Knit and Jeans

Boots, a good sweater, and well-fitting jeans are a staple outfit for winter. Many of us might prefer to constantly be in dresses and skirts, but during the height of winter, this isn’t an option – but that doesn’t mean not looking chic.

A good pair of leather boots that don’t look busy can help to tie together this look.

8. Midi Skirt

That being said, sometimes a skirt can work. A chic wool midi skirt paired with a fine knit sweater looks elegant, but can still be practical for keeping warm.

A great tip is that your legs won’t be seen to wear a thick pair of tights or leggings under your skirt to act as another layer of warmth.

9. Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans aren’t really in vogue, but paired with chunky boots or an oversized sweater, they are a no-brainer.

Gen Z would have us believe that skinny jeans should be kept at the back of our closets, never to be seen again, but they can be great to show off a pair of statement tall boots like these.

10. All Black Everything

When in doubt, an all-black outfit will never fail you. A long black coat, black midi skirt or pants, and a black sweater make the perfect blank canvas for a statement pair of burgundy boots.

As for your accessories, opt for something black, or a red or burgundy purse if you’re looking to make an impact.
