Hannah Waddingham's winter coat is a lesson the 'wear your wine' trend
With the autumn/winter season now fully underway, we're excited to embrace the latest fashion trends which hit the runaways for this year. Most notably, the burgundy trend.
And, if you're looking for inspiration, there's no better example of someone nailing the colour of the season than Hannah Waddingham (but when does she ever do wrong?), in her fabulous winter coat.
The cut of her long, single-breasted coat is timeless but the burgundy hue is bang on trend for the season. Hannah is narrating a new TV animated adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s story, Tiddler, and attended London's Sea Life Aquarium on 17 December for an event to celebrate its release.
In October, Jennifer Grey was also seen head to toe in a fabulous monochrome merlot look for the BFI Film Festival in London.
The star was autumnal-chic in a long-sleeve, wine-coloured top and sequin midi skirt in a similar burgundy shade. Jennifer's shimming look signalled the start of the upcoming party season as she attended a special presentation of A Real Pain during the 68th BFI festival this weekend.
While burgundy is known for its intensity and once associated with the Victorian era, recently fashion designers have shown us how to style the hue today and many fashionistas believe it's the shade du jour.
Set to become a new autumn favourite, burgundy covers everything from deep oxblood shades to rich merlot colours - there are so many variations of this deep, reddish-brown hue.
With many of high-street brands jumping on the burgundy bandwagon, it's truly a colour we can all embrace in our wardrobe and is an easy trend to dip your toe into this cosy season.
An elegant and alluring alternative to navy, burgundy will add a sense of quiet luxury to any outfit.
Also, what makes it different to that pop of red we saw last year and the red theory that has been taking over our Instagram feeds, burgundy is more liveable colour and has this understated drama to it, without being too in your face.
Good Housekeeping's Fashion Director reveals to us why she thinks burgundy is an indulgent shade that is worthy of all the hype this season.
"If your wardrobe is dominated by neutrals, dark, rich hues of burgundy will feel more wearable, even to the colour-shy. The colour looks great paired with black, cream, camel, grey and denim, making it a super adaptable trend to buy into this season. However, if you’re feeling brave, sister shades of burgundy and red also look incredible together too."
"Seeing as it's the colour to be seen in this autumn, the 'fizz buys' I suggest purchasing are either a burgundy bag or coat. The epitome of elegance, it's a great colour to update your wardrobe staples."
