What Colors Go With Burgundy: The Best Fall Outfit Combinations

I can’t scroll through new fall arrivals without spotting burgundy! It’s always been one of those classic fall colors, but this year, it feels fresh again. I think a lot of that has to do with how I’m seeing it styled, with color combinations I wouldn’t have thought to put together before. It has me looking at burgundy in a whole new way, so if you’re wondering what colors go with burgundy and how to wear it this fall, let’s talk about it!

Is Burgundy in Style for Fall 2026?

Burgundy is definitely still going strong for fall 2026. You’ll see everything from deep wine and merlot to oxblood and bordeaux, and I’m finding it on sweaters, pants, dresses, handbags, shoes, and jackets.

What feels different this year isn’t necessarily the color itself. It’s how it’s being worn. Instead of treating burgundy like a traditional fall color that automatically gets paired with black, I’m seeing it used almost like a neutral. That’s where combinations like burgundy and pink or burgundy and light blue come in.

Burgundy and Pink

I’m seeing quite a bit of burgundy paired with pink this fall, and it gives such a deep, traditional fall color a much fresher look. Soft pink, blush, and dusty rose are probably the easiest shades to wear. They give you contrast without feeling too bright. I’ve also seen burgundy with stronger pinks, and that’s a fun option if you like more color.

Burgundy and Light Blue

Burgundy and light blue is another pairing I keep noticing, and this one is so pretty. Light blue takes some of the heaviness out of burgundy.

Jacket (XS) | Jeans (4) | Shoes

I especially like this combination for early fall when I’m ready for fall clothes but don’t necessarily want to look like I’m dressed for November.

Burgundy and Cream

Cardigan Sweater | Trouser Pants

I tend to prefer cream or ivory over bright white once we get into fall. It softens burgundy and keeps the entire outfit from getting too dark. If you’re someone who doesn’t love wearing dark colors close to your face, keep the cream on top and use burgundy on the bottom or in your accessories.

Burgundy and Denim

Gingham Shirt (small) | Jeans (27) | Belt | Mules

This is probably how I’ll wear burgundy most often because you know I love my jeans. Pretty much every denim wash works with burgundy, but I especially like it with the darker denim we’re seeing for fall.

Deep indigo and burgundy look really good together without feeling dressy. Add a chocolate brown shoe or handbag, and you’ve got a great fall color palette without having to think too hard about it. You can also keep your clothing completely neutral and add burgundy shoes to a denim outfit.

Burgundy and Camel

Cashmere Sweatpants | Sweatshirt

Burgundy and camel is one of those combinations that comes back every fall for a reason. The warmth of camel works so well with that deep red tone, and it’s an easy combination to make with pieces many of us already own.

If you have a camel coat or jacket, try it over a burgundy sweater with jeans. A camel handbag is another easy addition to a burgundy outfit. You can also mix camel and chocolate brown in the same look.

Burgundy and Gray

Sweater | Trouser

If your closet leans toward cooler neutrals, try burgundy with gray. Charcoal is probably my favorite. A burgundy sweater with charcoal pants is a nice change from black, and the combination still feels very classic.

Lighter heather gray works, too. You could wear a gray sweater and jeans and simply add a burgundy handbag or pair of flats. This is also a nice alternative if all of the chocolate brown we’re seeing this season isn’t your thing.

Burgundy and Navy

Burgundy and navy don’t get talked about as much, but they’re really pretty together. You may already be wearing this combination without realizing it if you pair a burgundy top with dark indigo jeans. For something a little different, try a navy sweater with burgundy pants. I love gold jewelry with these two colors because it adds some warmth.

Burgundy and Black

Vest (XS)| Pants (small) | Flip Flop Sandals | Necklace

Yes, you can absolutely wear burgundy with black. It’s classic, it’s easy, and sometimes it’s exactly what an outfit needs. The difference this fall is that I don’t think black has to be our automatic choice every time we wear burgundy.

What Color Shoes Go With Burgundy?

There are several shoe colors you can wear with burgundy, but brown is probably my favorite for fall. Chocolate brown is what’s currently trending, while cognac, tan, and taupe are easy choices that work with almost everything else in your closet.

If you’re trying one of the newer burgundy combinations, like pink or light blue, a brown or neutral shoe is a good way to ground the outfit.

What Color Handbag Goes With Burgundy?

You have lots of options when it comes to handbags. Chocolate brown would be my first choice this fall, but cognac, camel, cream, taupe, and black all work.

Burgundy Handbag

I also really like a burgundy handbag. If you tend to wear a lot of jeans, cream, camel, gray, navy, or brown, you’d probably carry it more than you think. It’s a nice way to add some color without committing to a burgundy sweater or pair of pants.

What Jewelry Looks Best With Burgundy?

I usually gravitate toward gold jewelry when I’m wearing burgundy. The warmth of gold looks especially pretty with burgundy, chocolate brown, camel, and cream. You don’t need much either. A simple gold necklace, hoop earrings, or a few bracelets are plenty.

If you’re wearing burgundy with gray, black, or light blue, you might want to try silver!

Are You Wearing Burgundy This Fall?

Before you add anything new to your cart, take a peek in your closet. I have a feeling some of us have a burgundy sweater, jacket, or handbag hiding in there from a few falls ago!

Are you loving all the burgundy this year, or are you sitting this one out?

Beauty for the Heart– For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10

Mountains are some of the most stable, immovable things we see on earth. They stand tall for centuries, weathering storms, earthquakes, and time itself. Yet God says, even if those mountains crumbled into nothing, His love for us would remain.

What a promise! People may fail us, circumstances may change, and the ground beneath us may feel shaky, but God’s love is unshakable. His peace doesn’t depend on how secure we feel, but on His eternal faithfulness. His compassion is greater than the tallest mountain and deeper than the widest valley.
