Burgundy, bordeaux, merlot — we love the shades of wine in fashion for fall.

If you find yourself wearing too much black and gray when fall rolls around, this year get into wine. Wine hues look great when partnered with everything from gray and silver to brown and cream.

Draped dress
Splurge on this gorgeous Donna Karan dress. This jersey dress features a draped front, loose long sleeves and calf-length hem. This designer dress will definitely cost you a pretty penny — it’s $2,695 at Neiman Marcus.

Roomy handbag
Pick out a roomy tote or satchel for fall. You don’t have to spend a bundle — choose faux leather instead of the real thing. This Jessica Simpson BLVD tote is price just under $65 and comes in a rich bordeaux shade.
