Burgundy trousers are replacing black this fall

Google searches for burgundy trousers jumped 170% in a month, and H&M's $45 pair is the internet's pick.

In brief

Google searches for burgundy trousers jumped 170% in a month, and H&M's $45 pair is the internet's pick. Burgundy is the new office neutral, and you can style the same trousers three ways: work, weekend, and evening. Originally reported by Cosmopolitan.

Burgundy is the new black

Google searches for burgundy trousers jumped 170% in the past month. H&M's Wide-Leg Dress Pants at $45 in Dark Burgundy are the internet's consensus pick.

The H&M pair that's selling out

The Dark Burgundy colorway is a deep, wine-rich shade that looks far more expensive than its $45 price. High waist, straight leg, woven fabric that moves with you all day without digging at the waistband.

Style them for the office

Style them for the office

Pair burgundy trousers with a cream-colored knitted top and tan loafers for soft contrast. Add a camel coat for the commute and you've dressed for both the weather and the trend.

Make them weekend casual

Swap the knitted top for a chunky oatmeal knit and trade loafers for white sneakers. Burgundy and cream works just as well for a Saturday coffee run as it does at your desk.

Dress them up for evening

Pair with a fitted navy-blue top and matching pointed-toe heels to transform the trousers for dinner. Burgundy has enough depth to balance the jewel-tone richness of navy without needing anything else.

The essence

Burgundy is the new office neutral, and you can style the same trousers three ways: work, weekend, and evening.
