Burgundy Blouse Outfit Ideas

Burgundy is rich but surprisingly easy to wear, and it pairs well with many colors. Gray is one of its best partners: a burgundy blouse with charcoal or light gray trousers looks elegant and calm, ideal for the office.

Navy and burgundy make a classic, slightly preppy combination, lovely in fall with a camel coat. Black and burgundy look dramatic and dressy, perfect for evenings.

Camel, tan and cream warm up burgundy and make it feel softer, while denim keeps it relaxed. A burgundy blouse with dark jeans and brown boots is one of the easiest fall outfits.

Olive and forest green make an earthy pairing for fall, and dusty pink gives a soft, romantic look.

White is the freshest partner of all. A burgundy blouse with white jeans or a white skirt feels crisp and bright, and it keeps a deep color from looking heavy on a sunny fall day or a mild winter afternoon.

Gold jewelry warms up burgundy beautifully, and cognac or chocolate leather accessories complete the look.

Burgundy also works as a softer anchor for pattern. A burgundy blouse with a plaid or houndstooth skirt that picks up a little of the same red looks coordinated without being matchy, and it is an easy way to wear pattern in fall.

For a head-to-toe look, try burgundy with other deep reds and browns, mixing textures such as a lace blouse, a wool skirt and suede boots.

Leopard print also works surprisingly well with burgundy. A leopard scarf or pair of flats with a burgundy blouse feels confident and grown-up.

Burgundy, Wine and Brick Red

Burgundy covers a family of deep reds. Classic burgundy is a dark red with a hint of purple, rich and cool. Wine red is very close, perhaps a little warmer, and the two are often used interchangeably.

Brick red is warmer and more earthy, with a hint of brown or orange. It flatters warm and golden complexions and pairs well with denim, olive and camel.

Deep red sits between burgundy and true red, bright enough to feel festive but deep enough to look elegant.

All these shades tend to flatter mature skin, adding warmth near the face without the harshness of black or bright red. See our red blouses for brighter shades.

Daylight is the best place to compare them. Cool, blue-leaning burgundy tends to suit silver hair and cool skin, while warm brick red flatters golden or olive skin and red or brown hair.

Burgundy is also a flattering alternative to black at work. It looks just as professional under a gray or navy blazer, but adds warmth to the face and a little personality to a neutral wardrobe.

Dressy Burgundy Blouses

For weddings, anniversaries and evening events, a burgundy blouse with lace, a soft V neck or a gentle drape looks festive and grown-up. Pair it with a black or gray skirt, and add gold earrings. Our dressy blouses gather more occasion ideas.

For daytime celebrations, a burgundy blouse with a cream or camel skirt feels warmer and softer than with black, and it looks lovely in the low light of a fall afternoon.

For a dinner or concert, a burgundy blouse with black trousers and a velvet or satin accessory looks polished and warm.

Texture adds interest to such a deep color. A lace sleeve, a jacquard weave or a crisscross detail at the neckline catches the light and gives burgundy extra depth, so the blouse looks special even without jewelry.

Long Sleeve Burgundy Blouses

Long sleeve burgundy blouses are ideal for fall and winter, looking warm under camel coats and gray knitwear. Many more sit among our long sleeve blouses.

For the holiday season, burgundy is one of the most flattering festive colors, and our Christmas blouses show more ways to wear it.

In spring and summer, a short sleeve burgundy blouse with white jeans looks fresh and unexpected.

A half or three-quarter sleeve burgundy blouse is useful in early fall, when the days are still warm but deeper colors feel right. Pair it with denim and loafers for a relaxed transitional outfit, then add a cardigan as the evening cools.

Because burgundy is dark, it also hides small marks well, making it a practical choice for busy days, family meals and travel.
