Above all else, I’m a jeans person. I’ll wear them to the office, I’ll wear them on evenings out—in short, I’ll wear them absolutely everywhere I can. Faithful as I may be to the fabric that’s seen me through so much, even I sometimes find myself growing tired of the same blue and black pairs that dominate my rotation.
Not one to suddenly embrace technicolour tones, I still found myself craving a little variety this winter, which is when burgundy jeans appeared on my radar. Still rich and saturated but with a certain depth, this moody red feels like the perfect seasonal update.
In fact, I’d argue that this trend is as easy to style as your average blue or black denim. The deep shade complements the neutral palette we instinctively reach for at this time of year, think blacks, browns and greys, while adding a richness that makes a simple outfit feel elevated. Yet, it’s not as heavy as black denim, offering a softer, more luxurious alternative.
For a fresher spin, try pairing burgundy jeans with lighter tones—soft creams, buttery yellows, or blush pinks all create an elegant tonal look that still feels unexpected.
Tapping into the perennial appeal of winter reds, burgundy jeans are a trend piece that promises longevity. And I’m clearly not the only one taking note—retailers everywhere are experimenting with the shade right now. Below, I’ve rounded up the best burgundy jeans to shop this season.
