The appetite for the color burgundy is omnipresent this season. Fondly described as ‘elegance personified’, this deep red hue has taken over the runway and search bars in many global shopping platforms such as Net-a-porter, Mytheresa, and Ssense.


The snowball effect began when Gucci creative director Sabato de Sarno introduced a shade of burgundy he coined as Gucci Rosso Ancora. His debut Spring/Summer 2024 collection for Gucci had legions of models dressed in this alluring color, thus beginning the burgundy craze.

In the Philippines, burgundy is well-received by tastemakers and consumers alike. In an exclusive Metro interview with celebrity stylists Kimi and Boop Yap, the stylish duo gave their insights on how to wear this trend and what kind of pieces you should invest in.

There’s a simple yet effective way to create a cohesive look using the color burgundy and its called tonal dressing. “Burgundy is such a rich, stylish color and its super easy to pull off. Try playing with textures, like pairing a cashmere sweater with denim or leather pants then top it off with a suede bag to add depth to the outfit,” said Kimi.

Boop chimed in and said “If you want a little contrast, burgundy looks amazing with neutrals like gray, taupe, and black.”

If you’re in the mood for shopping, there are a few key pieces that are definitely worth the splurge. “A bold, burgundy bag adds pop of color and works well with so many outfits. Also, you cannot go wrong with a pair of heels or sneakers in this It color,” said Boop.


To anyone who’s planning to spend Christmas in a colder climate, Kimi says that “leather jackets and trench coats are always a good investment. They’re classic pieces that you’ll be able to wear year after year and it would instantly make any outfit look more polished.”


Consider this as a sign to try out the color burgundy for your upcoming gatherings this Christmas. We can’t wait for you to fall in love with this deep red rouge!
