Burgundy is among the standout colors for Fall/Winter 2024-2025. As is often the case, this deep hue first gained popularity through fashion, particularly through trends seen on the runways.
The search engine Tagwalk reported a 19% increase in burgundy looks in current collections compared to winter 2023. The hue has been spreading like wildfire into the worlds of design and beauty. In spring, TikTok saw the emergence of the Cherry Coke trend, showcased in thousands of videos. This trend involved outlining lips with a vibrant cherry red, similar to Kylie Jenner, and dyeing hair in this shade. While actress Shay Mitchell had already embraced it in 2022, it was Dua Lipa who reignited the trend earlier this year during the promotion of her new album, Radical Optimism.

Following Viva Magenta in 2023 (a vibrant pink inspired by the blockbuster film Barbie) and Peach Fuzz in 2024 (a soft orange hue), burgundy is now making its mark on our daily lives. One could almost hope it will be Pantone’s color of the year for 2025, setting the tone for upcoming fashion, beauty, and lifestyle trends. This shade captivates not only for its beauty but also for its strong symbolism: more sophisticated than classic red, burgundy evokes feelings of intimidation, seriousness, power, and self-confidence. This is why, on the runways for the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 season, the color is often worn in a monochromatic style from head to toe, as seen at Gucci, Mugler, and Ferragamo. There’s no doubt that burgundy could well become one of the most inspiring colors of the season.

In design, burgundy radiates warmth, especially during the holiday season when it is prominent everywhere. Whether used as accents with decorative items like a candle holder or lamp, or as a statement piece like a furniture item, there are no wrong choices.

Burgundy in beauty
Burgandy is a standout color year after year in Christmas collections, and the 2024 offerings are no exception, as seen in the latest range from Bobbi Brown featuring the ‘Luxe Lipstick’ line. For those who prefer a more classic look, a burgundy nail polish is a great choice, especially with a bio-sourced formula.
