<-h2->Burgundy jumpers worn as a neutral<-h2-> Cut close or left oversized, burgundy jumpers give a neutral wardrobe somewhere to go. Fine gauge, ribbed and cable knits arrive in shades from soft wine through to something nearly black. Burgundy behaves like a deep neutral, which means building around it rather than matching it, and camel, cream, grey and indigo all sit comfortably alongside. Gauge decides the outfit. A fine burgundy knit layers under a wool-look blazer with a tailored trouser and a gold chain for the office, while a cable style works over a collared shirt with a straight jean and a flat boot at the weekend. For dinner out, a slim ribbed jumper with a satin midi skirt, gold hoops and a small clutch is a quieter way to wear colour in the evening. The same jumper mixes back into denim the following morning, which is the mark of a colour chosen properly rather than picked up in passing. Every version of burgundy knitwear worth owning lives here.
