I use burgundy as an anchor, yet I don't have much of it. Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697987 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 04:18:01 +0000 DonnaF 1697987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And great to drink, too!!!&nbsp; Back in the day (1980s?) when having one's colors *done* was all the rage, the color analyst gave me a ton of swatches ranging from those that are high energy (*dramatic*) for ME to understated to neutral.&nbsp; In addition to colors that we traditionally think of as neutral like navys, grays, browns, and beiges were forest green and burgundy -- colors that look fine on me but don't have enough oomph for ME in a solid non-textured garment.&nbsp; Weird to think of burgundy that way, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697982 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 03:55:26 +0000 Brooklyn 1697982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love burgundy too. I am going to buy it up while it is available! And I will enjoy seeing your accent colours with it. Saffron and orchid sound great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697944 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 02:17:22 +0000 Nishaa 1697944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy. And black. And grey. And beige.<br /> My 4 winter overcoats.<br /> Burgundy has been my neutral since last decade.<br /> And it works fantastic with my yellow undertones.<br /> Last winter I discovered purple. Good for you to discover a neutral that is very versatile, trust me. Works four seasons for me.<br /> Have fun dreaming up all kinds of outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697850 Wed, 20 Jul 2016 00:06:21 +0000 Dana 1697850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great style epiphany! Burgundy is a great neutral and so much more unique than black! The color combos you can make with it are really interesting. But for a true neutral look, i like burgundy with animal print.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697844 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 23:56:10 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1697844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it nice to figure something like this out for yourself? I love the idea of Burgundy as a neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697809 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:39:17 +0000 Suz 1697809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy's a brilliant neutral for you, Traci. I love it, too. I actually think almost all shades of red can work as neutrals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697806 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:35:28 +0000 rabbit 1697806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear burgundy as a neutral too. It doesn't look great near my face, but it plays so well with other colors (year round), and looks great in leather and faux leather too. &nbsp;I have shoes, jeans, a silky shell top and bags in burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697801 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:28:38 +0000 Anonymous 1697801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you discovered that. Your future purchases will be better.</p> <p>Burgundy is a great color for me, but so hard to find compared to navy. I wouldn't mind adding burgundy to the navy and charcoal I wear. I did manage to find a burgundy top and a great pair of burgundy boots this year, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697790 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:19:08 +0000 Anonymous 1697790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, ok, well I'm glad you ignored me on the scarf.<br />btw, in case you hadn't seen my reply yet, I just saw you in your trench on another thread. It might not be burgundy, but it's close, and it looks fab! So much better than black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697782 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 22:12:59 +0000 Anonymous 1697782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is brilliant.

That was before I read this!<br /> I think you're really on to something here Traci. I always prefer burgundy leathers to black, but I never allow myself to buy them because it doesn't coordinate with all the other black leather items...but that doesn't seem like a great reason anymore considering the high availability of burgundy these days.<br /> Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think I might be following behind you on your burgundy journey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697757 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 21:14:07 +0000 deb 1697757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear burgundy, wine and the like all year long. There is always some of it in my closet. Some years the majority some years only a few pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697750 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 21:06:27 +0000 texstyle 1697750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds perfect Traci!&nbsp; I really like burgundy/wine/plum etc. as well and I think it's a great neutral for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697748 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 21:04:55 +0000 Style Fan 1697748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy is a fantastic colour.&nbsp; I love it.&nbsp; An all burgundy outfit sounds amazing.&nbsp; Richness to the max. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697733 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 20:48:44 +0000 Joyce B 1697733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a happy neutral, enjoy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697718 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 20:22:39 +0000 Traci 1697718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, I wear burgundy in summer too. I pair it more with blushes and camels and light denims in summer though. In winter it's with more blacks and charcoals. Now I'm going to start pairing it with bolder colors.</p> <p>Raisin is one I get often too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697715 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 20:19:44 +0000 Mochi 1697715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great revelation, Traci. </p> <p>I also love burgundy. And plum, and violet (in theory--they're harder to find). They're fall colors, though. I have a harder time figuring out a summer neutral. There's always blue. But anyhow, enjoy your new neutral! Can't wait to see it with those accents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697713 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 20:17:42 +0000 Tanya 1697713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great epiphany, Traci!&nbsp; Burgundy is a pseudo-neutral for me too.&nbsp; I can't wait to see all the ways in which you accent it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697711 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 20:13:20 +0000 Traci 1697711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...and this also answers my question of whether I need to return my burgundy scarf since I'm keeping the burgundy trench. Nope! I might even get the burgundy jeans and go for a burgundy out outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lightbulb-burgundy-is-my-neutral#post-1697709 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 20:11:24 +0000 Traci 1697709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the last few years my wardrobe has been neutrals with a bit of burgundy. Burgundy is a flattering color on me, but frankly I find it a bit boring. But time and again I can't deny that if I try on the black one and the burgundy one, burgundy is better on me.</p> <p>So, I just decided burgundy is my neutral and I'll accent with colors that excite me, like saffron, orchid, teal, blush and gold! Such a simple idea and so exciting to put 2 and 2 together. </p>
