From lip colors to accessories, these are the burgundy pieces you should add to your arsenal

Burgundy Blush
Switch out your summer coral and pale pink blushes for a richer shade like Tom Ford Contouring Cheek Color Duo in Softcore, $77. Or try a cream formula like Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow Blush in Patrice, $26. These deeper colors will warm up your complexion and they're surprisingly flattering on most skin tones.

Maroon Manis
We saw burgundy manicures with shiny and matte finishes backstage at New York Fashion Week, and the options off the runway are just as plentiful. Try Burberry Nail Polish in Elderberry , $22, for the exact glossy shade seen at the design house's fall runway show. Or take Jin Soon Nail Polish in Audacity, $18, and make it matte with Jin Soon Matte Maker Top Coat, $18.

Bold Accessories
Pops of color -- the kind you get with this Rebecca Minkoff tote, Rag & Bone leather gloves or oversize Chloé sunnies -- are the perfect way to break up an all-black ensemble.

Shop now: Rebecca Minkoff Medium M.A.B. Tote in Black Cherry, $265.
Rag & Bone Lamskin Moto Gloves, $255.

Plaid and Patterned
All-American designer Tommy Hilfiger adds a bit of burgundy (and grunge) to his signature preppy look for the ultimate "cool girl" take on fall fashion.

Shop now: We love The Hilfiger Collection Runway Wool Plaid Skirt, $430.

Suit Up
Copy Dior by mixing a burgundy blazer into your work wardrobe.



Unless you happen to be a supermodel (or, like Kanye West, you don't mind looking cuckoo bananas), there are certain fashion trends that are practically impossible to wear. So when a wearable trend -- like the burgundy shade we saw all over the fall collections -- comes along, we're all over it. The fact that the rich bordeaux color is wardrobe- and makeup-friendly makes it even better. All of a sudden, the cold months ahead seem much more bearable.
