The most reliable approach to styling a wine dress is to let the colour lead and keep everything else tonal or neutral. Both wine and burgundy pair naturally with deep caramel, warm chocolate, champagne gold, and black - any of these in a shoe, a bag, or a hair accessory will extend the warmth of the colour rather than interrupt it. Avoid cool-toned metals (silver, white gold), which sit at odds with these colours' warm bases; opt for gold or rose gold instead.
For evening occasions, velvet wine in particular comes into its own under warm light - a velvet midi with a gold strappy heel is one of the strongest winter occasion combinations available. For a complementary colour in a similar depth and register, our navy dresses are worth exploring as an alternative for the same occasions.
