There’s something about a burgundy sweater that just hits different.
It feels intentional but never try-hard, like you thought about your outfit but didn’t spiral into a Pinterest rabbit hole (even though, let’s be honest, we probably did).
These burgundy sweater outfit ideas are proof that burgundy doesn’t have to be basic – it can be your secret fashion weapon.
15+ Cute Burgundy Sweater Outfit Ideas You’ll Love to Wear
Black Satin Skirt + Burgundy Wool Sweater + Black Bag
This combo feels like the fall version of a silk slip dress – chic, slinky, and quietly confident.
I once wore something similar to a last-minute dinner last September and got compliments all evening.
Lesson: always keep a satin skirt and a good knit on standby.
Burgundy Sweater + Light Grey Straight-Leg Jeans + Red Bag and Kitten Heels
I’m obsessed with this color story. Burgundy and red shouldn’t work together, but somehow they just do.
Grey jeans ground the look and make it feel wearable even for casual days when you still want to look *put-together.*
Black Straight-Leg Jeans + Burgundy Off-Shoulder Sweater
The off-shoulder silhouette is doing the heavy lifting here. It’s soft, sexy, and ideal for a coffee date – or a very good hair day. Add a red lip and thank me later.
Wide-Leg Jeans + Pink Bag + Ballet Flats + Burgundy Sweater
Unexpected and totally charming. I love how the pink bag adds a playful twist to an otherwise cozy outfit.
It’s giving effortless Parisian girl on a bookstore run – and who doesn’t want that?
Burgundy Cardigan Sweater + Straight-Leg Blue Jeans
The cardigan version of a burgundy sweater is a forever favorite. Throw it over jeans, and you’ve got a “didn’t try, but nailed it” look.
Add a scrunchie and you’re practically a Pinterest board.
Burgundy Sweater + Grey Jeans + Red Ballet Flats
I still remember the first time I saw someone pair grey denim with burgundy and red shoes – it was in Milan, and it looked amazing.
Years later, I still copy that look. It’s fashion that sticks with you.
Brown Suit Pants + Burgundy Off-Shoulder Knit Sweater
If this outfit were a person, she’d be effortlessly cool and definitely owns at least one vintage coffee table book.
It’s cozy, modern, and just a little bit dramatic – in the best way.
Pleated Grey Mini Skirt + Burgundy Wool Sweater
This reminds me of college days, but make it fashionable. The pleated mini gives school-core vibes, while the burgundy sweater elevates it to grown-up chic.
Just add tights and boots for winter.
Mini Denim Skirt + Burgundy Wool Knitted Sweater
A look that says, “Yes, I do drink oat milk and have excellent taste in knitwear.”
Perfect for in-between seasons or warm fall afternoons with iced coffee in hand.
Light Grey Suit Pants + Burgundy Sweater + Burgundy Ballet Flats
This look is peak coordination. Burgundy flats to match the sweater? Yes, please.
The grey pants add balance, making it polished enough for meetings but cute enough for after-work drinks.
Grey Suit Pants + Burgundy Sneaker + Sweater
Comfortable, sleek, and completely current. This is the outfit I wish I wore to every airport.
Looks chic, feels like pajamas. Win-win.
Burgundy Off-Shoulder Sweater + White High-Waisted Jeans
This one’s got a little sass to it. White jeans always make me feel braver than I am, but paired with a slouchy off-shoulder sweater?
Suddenly I’m walking taller and booking brunch.
Burgundy Satin Skirt + Ankle Boots + Burgundy Sweater
The texture mix here is everything. A little shine, a little knit, and just the right amount of structure from those boots.
Ideal for wine bars and evening strolls.
Comfy Burgundy Two Piece Outfit
I’d wear this every day if I could. It’s matching, it’s comfy, and it still feels like I made an effort.
This is the outfit version of a warm hug and a second helping of dessert.

Is this not the chicest little autumn outfit? The red shoes give it personality, the white jeans keep it fresh, and the burgundy knit ties it all together. 10/10 would repeat.
FAQ:
What color goes with a burgundy sweater?
Burgundy loves a good neutral. Think light grey, cream, soft camel or denim.
If you’re feeling bold, pair it with blush pink or deep navy – I once wore it with mustard trousers and felt like a street style star in Copenhagen.
What color outfit goes with burgundy?
You can’t go wrong with burgundy paired with earthy tones or muted pastels.
I love it with greys and browns for a classic look, or dusty rose and olive green when I’m feeling playful but still grown-up.
What color to wear with a grey sweater?
Grey is your blank canvas. Pair it with burgundy, soft lavender, or even forest green.
I wore mine with caramel trousers and pearl earrings last week – felt like a walking Pinterest pin.
Which color shirt suits for a maroon sweater?
Crisp white is the obvious (and forever chic) choice.
But I’ve also layered maroon over pale blue and even blush pink – it softens the richness beautifully and makes it feel fresh. Stripes? Always a yes.
