The Season’s New Power Shade: Editor Picks in Burgundy
Call it the most persuasive color move of Fall 2025: Burgundy . Editors and forecasters have been steering us toward richer, moodier reds—from berry-leaning “dark cherry” to runway-ready Bordeaux—because they photograph luxuriously, flatter many skin tones, and make day-to-night dressing almost too easy. Recent fashion coverage and color reports consistently spotlight these reds as a defining note of the season, confirming what we’re seeing across our racks at Steven Dann.
