Whenever a new colour enters the market, you see its effect trickle down from the runway to street fashion, to social media, and then to the layman. It grows on people slowly, making its mark in their wardrobe and then ultimately becoming an obvious trend. 

In this blog, we are uncovering a new colour that has just hit the runway, and you can be ahead of the game by incorporating it into your style before it becomes a global obsession.

A colour that effortlessly blends mystery, sophistication, and the timeless allure of old-money charm. With its deep, velvety tones, this enigmatic hue carries an air of seriousness that commands attention. It’s the kind of colour that doesn’t just make a statement; it makes a rich proclamation — introducing, Burgundy-Maroon!

This colour feels like a cold evening, with drizzle outside, your beau taking you out for a wine and pizza date and you blasting Lana Del Rey music in the car. Getting all the feels? We created a special date night playlist for you!

From Gucci to Chanel — all big brands are choosing burgundy-maroon as their collections’ king colour.  And why wouldn’t they? It is a fall-winter staple, and even perfect for a spring night-out look.

By now you know, we don’t just tell, we show! So here’s a comprehensive guide on how to style this chic colour and make jaws drop on the floor when you pass ‘em by! 

1. Sweatshirts

Sweatshirts and pullovers are the biggest attention-grabbing elements in an outfit, credit to their size, fit and overall fall on the body.

You can invest in a knitted sweatshirt, or go for a simpler material if not in autumn, like thicker cotton or mixed fabric. The colour burgundy maroon is a must – since it is trending-n-hot. If the sweatshirt is printed and oversized, pair it with plain black trousers, or light blue denim. Here the shoes play an integral role in completing the look. A dapper sneaker with maroon soles or details is the best bet, or pair a lime green soled sneaker as an option. A tote bag in taupe, electric blue or white should make you feel like a fashion icon! 

2. Trousers or velvet pants

Burgundy maroon is a colour that lets you do velvet safely. It defines royalty, wealth and sheer elegance while keeping it fun and light.

Payppy is all about making every look count as #TheNewCool, so our pick is high-waisted velvet burgundy maroon mom pants. If you want to keep it “Ah I am just getting papped on the streets of Milan,” go for a simple graphic tee, preferably white to maintain the colour balance and if it is a nighttime look, pair a sheer white top with a bralette or slip inside. Maroon pumps or printed stilettos go best with these pants. 

3. Boots 

When you can’t find any item in your wardrobe that fits the occasion, the colour theme or your mood, shoes always make up for it!

Now you gotta pick sides for this one. Are you into minimalism or maximalism? For the minimalists, you can pair a plain white button-down shirt, latex pants in maroon, and burgundy-maroon boots, the fancier the better. And for the maximalists, a striped shirt, light coloured- say baby blue, lavender, pista green or even baby pink along with printed/ embroidered maroon pants and burgundy maroon boots is our pick. Also, ever thought about which zodiac sign can pull off Burgundy Maroon/ Red the best?

4. Hair and nails 

Yeah, we get it! Sometimes the transformation needs to be beyond just clothes. Sometimes you love a colour so much, that you want to literally stick it on yourself for months until you get enough of it.

Changing your hair to burgundy maroon can be the best decision because you won’t have to look for outfit ideas always, and it will switch your regular personality to a baddie one. 

For the nails, you can keep it classic trimmed rounded square shape or go extra with longer extensions that make your fingers look longer and stack ‘em with some ring clusters.
