Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between maroon and burgundy?
Maroon is a brownish deep red, while burgundy leans toward purple. Wine sits between the two. Retailers use the names loosely, so search more than one shade name when shopping.
What occasions is a maroon dress good for?
Maroon works for bridesmaids, fall and winter weddings, homecoming and prom, cocktail and holiday parties, galas and work events. It reads as rich and formal in velvet or satin, and relaxed in jersey or chiffon.
What color shoes go with a maroon dress?
Nude, gold, black and silver all work. Gold warms up brown-leaning maroon, silver sharpens purple-leaning burgundy, and nude lengthens the leg with short dresses.
