A classic becomes a trend. Fall Winter 2025/26 fashion is still Burgundy Style!
The trendy color that made us fall in love already in 2024, returns as an undisputed trend for the next winter season, to give us even more class and elegance.
We are talking about the deep and warm Bordeaux, or Burgundy, which we have already seen on the runways of the most influential fashion brands and which we will see again in street style next fall.
But why has this dark red shade, with its shades ranging from brown to purple, become a permanent fixture in our wardrobes, never to go out of fashion?
A color, a symbol, that beyond current trends conveys deeper meanings thanks to its use in history and in the customs of past eras.
The ancestor of this shade is certainly Purple Red, a natural pigment discovered by the Phoenicians and which became even more famous in ancient Rome, where, due to its rarity and complex workmanship, it was used only for imperial robes and trousseaus, as a symbol of wealth and power.
Moving back in time, we find this intense red in the symbols of religious cultures, such as the Catholic one and in the Italian Renaissance, where it once again became a reference to power, nobility, and valor.
It was only at the end of the 19th century, however, that this specific shade of dark red was associated with the intense, full-bodied color of the wine of French Burgundy, particularly from the city of Bordeaux, from which it takes the name we all use today to define it more precisely.
What remains in twentieth-century fashion, beyond refined luxury, is the combination of the color Bordeaux with the values of determination, strength, and character. In women's makeup in the 1920s, for example, it was highly fashionable to dye their lips this intense red, certainly as a symbol of a new feminine sensuality, but also a manifesto of emancipation, of greater freedom of dress and expression.
In all its deepest and most intense shades, burgundy has always adorned the elite and places of power, making its association with a high and refined style, in some ways dark and severe, naturally associated with it. Today's fashion has reinterpreted it in a contemporary key, combining its elegance with a decisive character, like the spirit of the person who wears it.
This season's fashion color is actually a timeless classic, which we find in the Adone leather bags, perfect to wear with the new trends of F/W 2025/2026.
These unique, handcrafted bags with contemporary, geometric lines are the perfect accessory to show off with a tailored men's suit, paired with a classic pinstripe suit in shades of gray, or with the timeless "Little Black Dress," the essential and minimal chic black midi dress, trending in fashion this winter 2026.
Among the new trends for next season, we will also see softer colors like butter yellow and cream white, which, combined with Burgundy, create a unique and striking contrast.
ADONE proposes bordeaux (for fashion addicts, burgundy) as a seasonless color already in the first sample collection of 2023, even before it was consecrated by the Fashion System as the must-have color of 2025.
In the limited and refined palette of 5 colors in the Adone ongoing collection, each shade has been selected for its reference to a particular meaning and the burgundy color, enhanced by the sheen of the genuine leather, conveys more than any other color the authentic essence of the brand, which embodies the values of elegance, character and discreet luxury.
