How to wear burgundy

If burgundy is your colour, like it is mine, then you have hit the jackpot in making colour co-ordination easy. Burgundy is endlessly versatile. I love it with all shades of pink and flame-inspired oranges and reds.

It breaks my heart when I see this rich colour deadened by navy blue or black. It is, however, a great alternative to black because it is dark and makes you feel slim.

Burgundy can be a very ageing colour if it is too dull and cold a shade, or if you have warm-toned skin and hair. It particularly suits an olive skin.

Do not wear black accessories with your beautiful burgundy outfit. If you don't have a pair of burgundy, fuschia pink or rust-coloured shoes in your wardrobe, go for chocolate brown or olive green.

When I wear this outfit I feel good. It can make a tired face look a bit chirpier because these colours bring out my features the best. I can be pale or tanned and it will still look good. Missoni is one of the best designers when it comes to understanding how to put colours together.
