Burgundy, My 2026 Theme Color
From wardrobe staple to lifestyle hue—why I’m wearing it all year long
Burgundy is my theme color for 2026. Although it's typically reserved for the fall and winter months, this year I’m breaking the rules, carrying it into spring, and letting this rich, moody hue set the tone for everything I do.
I don’t know why I’m especially drawn to burgundy. Maybe it’s the way ambition, elegance, and comfort somehow merge into a single, deep maroon hue. This year, I’m trying to emulate all that the color represents, from class to passion to mystique.

The rich wine color has become a staple in my wardrobe, adding a neutral pop of color to my outfits. It’s bold without being bright, it’s dark without being black, and it’s classic without being boring. And, in my opinion, it goes with everything.
When it comes to pairing burgundy, the options are surprisingly versatile. Think brown for a seamless fall transition, grey for a polished, everyday look, navy for depth and sophistication, and crisp white to brighten it up in spring. Burgundy can also work with muted blushes, camel tones, or even soft pastels for a fresh, unexpected twist—making it easy to carry this theme color across seasons.

This spring, and, if I’m being honest, summer, fall, and next winter too, burgundy isn’t just a color in my wardrobe—it’s basically my lifestyle. I don’t care if it’s day or night, burgundy has claimed its rightful spot among the shades du jour, dominating runways, street style, and my heart.
