Frequently Asked Questions

Does a burgundy shirt go with all skin tones?

Yes. Burgundy is a very friendly colour. It has warm undertones, works on fair, wheatish and dark skin tones and is a universal choice for everyone.

Can I wear a burgundy shirt in summer?

Yes. Just make sure you choose a lightweight, breathable cotton. Beige or white light coloured trousers will keep you looking and feeling fresh in warm weather.

Which colour blazer goes well with a burgundy shirt?

A burgundy shirt looks great with a navy blue, charcoal grey or black blazer. It will be a very sharp and stylish contrast when you go to formal events.

How to stop your coloured shirt from bleeding in the wash?

For the first wash, soak the shirt in cold water with a little salt. This helps set the dye so it will not bleed on your other clothes. Always wash with similar dark colours afterwards.

Is burgundy colour suitable for a formal shirt?

Yes, it can be worn in professional settings, but a plain cotton shirt with a smooth texture and a structured collar makes for a great formal shirt for the office or special occasions.
