The two colours

What burgundy and white each bring

burgundy

A deep red-purple wine colour. Rich, warm and autumnal, it adds depth to neutrals without shouting.

Works best as: Knits, dresses, loafers and trousers.

white

Crisp, clean and bright. It lifts darker pieces and reads fresh in summer; in winter it looks most intentional as a knit or a coat.

Works best as: Shirts, tees and sneakers near every outfit; white trousers are a stronger summer statement.
