What do you get when you mix summer’s favourite shade with autumn’s most reliable classic? A combination that carries you into the cooler months with ease. Butter yellow and burgundy might sound unexpected, but, hear me out, together they bring out the best in each other.

While I’ve seen the two rich-looking colour trends worn independently of one another for months now, I’m starting to notice more and more fashion people are uniting them to stylish-looking avail. Why does it work? As far as I’ve observed, the freshness of yellow softens burgundy’s weight, while burgundy grounds yellow’s sweetness, resulting in a pairing that feels perfectly attuned to this transitional time of year.

While lighter combinations—think pastel pink and sky blue—can feel too airy once autumn arrives, burgundy anchors yellow in a way that makes it strikingly chic. It’s a clever way to extend the life of 2025’s favourite shade.

Designers are already endorsing the duo, too. On the autumn/winter 2025 runways, Saint Laurent and Alaïa both showcased the pairing, cementing its status as one of the season’s most exciting colour stories for the season ahead.

The best part? You don’t need a new head-to-toe look to tap into the trend. Simply pair your favourite butter-yellow piece with a burgundy accessory—or vice versa—and you’ve unlocked one of the chicest colour combinations of the moment.
