Styling Guidance

The burgundy suede and velvet upper works particularly well against denim, tailored trousers, or a midi skirt for an easy smart-casual look. The white leather logo and contrasting laces mean this trainer already carries its own detail, so it pairs best with simpler, uncluttered outfits rather than busy patterns. For colder months, wear cream or oatmeal knitwear and a wool coat to bring warmth to the burgundy tone. Navy and camel both sit comfortably alongside this colourway if you're building pieces around it.

• Works well with: jeans, tailored trousers, midi skirts, knitwear
• Colour palette: cream, oatmeal, navy, camel, black
