Burgundy Boots Outfit: How I’m Wearing Them With Brown
Burgundy and brown supposedly clash. They really don’t. Burgundy is a deeper version of the same warm family, and the two together look far more considered than matching everything to one shade.
Everything here is built around the Sam Edelman Sylvia in french burgundy. Knee-high boots are what I get asked about most, and the reason people give up on them is almost always calf fit rather than style. This one comes in regular and wide calf. Burgundy also turns into a neutral the moment you own a pair, so it stretches well past this one outfit.
The Maeve raglan swing mini skirt has a drop waist and an A-line shape, and the ottoman texture is doing the heavy lifting on why it looks more expensive than it is. Cotton with merino wool in it, so it holds its shape instead of going limp by afternoon.
Keeping the Heartloom Twyla in coco, the same brown family as the skirt, means the eye reads the whole thing as one piece. Which is the point. It lets the boots be the only color moment.
Then the jacket changes everything. Camila Coelho’s Cleobella cropped faux fur in chocolate gives you fur next to knit next to leather, and three textures is what keeps a single color outfit from going flat. Cropped is also the correct length over a mini.
The Veronica Beard Dash bag in chestnut lands between the brown and the burgundy, so it ties them rather than picking a side.
One heavy piece of gold is all this needs. The Anthropologie chunky chain bracelet. Anything thinner disappears against fur.
Buy the boots.
