Burgundy Is Nice, But This Up-and-Coming Color Trend Is About to Dethrone It

Listen. I love burgundy as a fall color trend just as much as the next fashion person, but there’s a new color trend that I’ve been eyeing instead: royal purple. Yes, I know it’s an unlikely trend, but the fashion-forward online are already in on it. Luxury brands like Valentino, Miu Miu, and McQueen have also included the fall color trend throughout their runway collections. Not to mention purple has represented royalty and regalness historically. In today’s fashion, it’s the color everyone is experimenting with to look and feel rich. While burgundy has been the go-to pop of color for fall, experimenting with purple will give your outfit an expensive-looking vibe.

Subtly looking opulent is out, and the runways prove it. Lightweight jackets graced Valentino’s and McQueen’s runways; meanwhile, Miu Miu included an array of shoes and accessories, from handbags to chunky boots—all in rich, purple hues. Hence purple is trending in fashion. If you’re also fatigued by burgundy for fall, keep scrolling to shop its royal-purple counterpart, which is just as lavish.
