Burgundy: Women yearn to be like her; men dearly wish to know her: the elegant woman, perfectly poised, with her richly vibrant lips slightly curved in a knowing smile. Upswept, coiffed hair puts the lips at the forefront of this look, and a simple swipe of mascara is the only accompaniment this color needs. (Burgundy carries an air of regality all its own!)

Wear this to: the opera, theatrical productions, cafes, poetry readings, museum exhibitions.

Don’t forget to: choose elegant clothes with a darker palette (think delicious greys, taupes, and blacks).

Avoid: bright tones, light colors, and pastels.
