If you like wearing lilac and burgundy wardrobe items, try wearing them together in an outfit. You might have the palette ready-to-go in a patterned piece of clothing or accessory. Combine solids like burgundy bottoms with a lilac top, and vice versa. Try a burgundy jacket with a lilac scarf or top, or a lilac coat with a burgundy sweater or scarf. Or wear a lilac top with blue jeans, adding burgundy with a bag and shoes.
The collection shows outfit examples of lilac combined with burgundy. Footwear choices include burgundy, shades of white, earthy browns and tans, or a metallic. Sometimes black can work too:
In this outfit, there is a lot of burgundy and a smattering of lilac, which might be how you prefer the ratio. A burgundy suit is combined with a multi-coloured blouse made up of oranges, reds, burgundy, cream, and a bit of lilac. The dark brown shoes match the brown in the buttons of the blazer, and the model’s hair.
In this outfit, there’s a lot of saturated lilac, and a tiny bit of burgundy in the pattern of the top. In fact it might be brown, although it can pass for burgundy. The oatmeal, mango orange, cognac, orchid, gold and blue with the lilac and burgundy makes for a punchy palette, to my eye. Gorgeous pattern mix.
Look at your wardrobes, and think about combining light purples with burgundy in an outfit, if you fancy the idea. Maybe lighter reds are more your thing than burgundy. Maybe orchid is more your thing than lilac. Think purples combined with reds, and see what happens.
