Looking for burgundy/maroon(?) items for my wardrobe...

Just that, really.

Never quite sure which is burgundy and which maroon, but would love to get some more items - perhaps even to use it like a base colour/neutral.

Thanks!

I think “wine” is the term du jour.

Thanks @GroundAlmonds.

P.S. Am looking for a really intense, vivid, ‘bright’ shade of burgundy (if that makes any sense at all!) 😂

Gentle bump.

H&M had some burgundy this season. And Reiss has quite a bit of stuff in a colour they called berry but maybe that’s not bright enough.

missl1 · 18/12/2020 11:52

H&M calling it dark red.

GroundAlmonds · 18/12/2020 11:59

So, every day “capsule” kind of pieces?

GroundAlmonds · 18/12/2020 12:06

I’m not sure what you mean by “bright burgundy” but Mango seems to have more reds in general than many brands this season. There is a lack of them out there.

TwiggyStardust · 18/12/2020 12:18

Thanks for the suggestions. @GroundAlmonds, yes, some everyday capsule kind of pieces. I think ‘vivid’ is probably a better description than ‘bright’, sorry! 😬

Plum, bordeaux - to be honest I just sort by colour somewhere like John Lewis, and go through all the reds, as everyone uses a slightly different name/has different shades. Then I've got a starting point.

Love a deep dark red.

Might it be something like 'dark raspberry'?

I see boden has some Maroon

Deathraystare · 20/12/2020 14:46

I am surprised that you find it hard to find! It is the season for wine/burgundy/Maroon etc! I love Marron but cannot wear blue reds sadly. I have certainly seen loads ini M&S for example.

Try sites like M&S, Jigsaw, House of Bruar, Lands' End etc.
