Save this story Save Story Save this story Burgundy has been flexing its might on the fashion scene for quite a few seasons now. We’ve seen the shade crop up on leather jackets and dominate the handbag conversation. Lately, it’s making its way south to ballet flats. Seen at Phoebe Philo, The Row, and Alaïa, burgundy footwear hits a useful sweet spot: It’s not quite a neutral, but it’s nowhere near as outfit-dominating as a punchier shade like red or cobalt.

(Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images) Edward Berthelot/Getty Images The color feels especially well suited to the ballet flat, a shoe that has become a bonafide wardrobe staple . After seasons of black mesh, metallics, and classic leather styles, burgundy offers a way to make the familiar silhouette feel fresh. It’s also an easy way to introduce a little color into your fall wardrobe. Burgundy flats look just as good with denim, black, brown, and gray as they do with some of the season’s less expected shades, like pale pink or chartreuse.
Below, shop some of our favorites, and the five ways we’re wearing them now.
The Row’s Stella slipper in burgundy lends a fashion-forward finish to classic blue jeans and an everyday wool jacket.

Burgundy fits easily into an off-duty wardrobe too. Pair it with army green cargos and a gray knit for an easy yet polished combination.
