The details

With trousers, belt & bag and material

What makes the colours above look deliberate.

Smooth leather works year-round; suede looks softer and more casual but wants dry weather.

Avoid

What not to wear with burgundy knee-high boots

Skip the lavender dress shirt. A dress shirt is dressier than knee-high boots, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: burgundy and lavender can work together if a neutral anchors the outfit.
Skip the light blue denim jacket. A denim jacket is more casual than knee-high boots, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: burgundy and light blue can work together if a neutral anchors the outfit.
