How To Wear Pink and Burgundy Together: A Stylish Outfit Idea For Women Over 50.
Do you ever put an outfit together and wonder why you haven’t worn that colour combination before? I know I do.
Take this outfit for example, I keep away from wearing burgundy for years, purely because it is the colour of my work uniform.
But year after year, burgundy is a great colour for autumn and winter fashion.
So I decided to go for it earlier this year, and I’m so glad I did. I love this outfit. Such a classic combination.
I have always loved adding a little colour to my wardrobe, and pink and burgundy are two shades that work beautifully together.

Today’s outfit is all about mixing a pretty pink polka-dot blouse with rich burgundy wide-leg trousers and comfortable white trainers.
It’s feminine, colourful, comfortable and, most importantly, an outfit that feels fun to wear at any age!
For a fresh change of scenery, I’ve chosen these beautiful photo I took in New York as the inspiration for today’s street-style photographs.
I love the contrast of the iconic Statue Of Liberty against a lovely pop of colour.
Why Pink And Burgundy Make Such A Lovely Combination.
Why Pink And Burgundy Make Such A Lovely Combination.
Pink and burgundy might not be the first colours you think of putting together. I know I didn’t at first, but I think they make a gorgeous pairing together.
As soon as I seen this outfit in Revered in London earlier this year, I knew I had to have it.
The pale pink adds softness and brightness, while burgundy brings a little depth and richness to the outfit.
I especially love how the darker polka dots pick up the colour of the trousers. It makes the whole look feel coordinated without being too matchy-matchy.
And isn’t that what getting dressed should be about?
Having a little fun and experimenting with the clothes already hanging in your wardrobe! This is a look I have been wearing a lot lately.

You probably know by now how much I love polka dots!
I have been wearing them as long as I have been writing blog posts! Yes, around 15 years now!!
They are one of those patterns that keep coming back into fashion, but I honestly don’t think they ever really go out of style.
Just when I think I should stop wearing them, someone famous is spotted in them and makes everyone want to start wearing them again. Kate Middleton, springs to mind. She loves her polka dots too.

You might already know that I have a bit of a soft spot for polka dots.
Just take a look through my wardrobe and you will soon spot a few! But I have not been wearing them much lately.
So, when Princess Kate stepped out at the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on 7th November 2026, wearing her beautiful black Alessandra Rich polka-dot midi dress again, it caught my eye.
As it is very similar to a few I have, just mine are high street ones and not designer.
I love seeing someone re-wear a favourite outfit. It is such a lovely reminder that we don’t always need something new to create a stylish look.
Her elegant black-and-white dress is timeless, feminine and so easy to take inspiration from.
Of course, I am putting my own little twist on the look and thinking about how to wear polka dots for a festive day out.

Wide-Leg Burgundy Trousers: Comfortable And Chic.
Can we take a moment to appreciate a good pair of wide-leg trousers?
I love wide-legged trousers and jeans. I have been trying to get into Barrel Legged Trousers but I keep coming back to wide-legged trousers at the minute.
Also, I love how they can make an outfit look instantly more put together without having to sacrifice comfort. Always a comfortable fit.
Burgundy is also a lovely alternative to wearing black all the time too. I think that is why I love these trousers.
It’s a rich colour that works beautifully with pink, cream, grey, navy and even a little chocolate brown.
For women over 50, I think wide-leg trousers are a brilliant wardrobe staple. They are easy to style and can work for so many different occasions.
You could wear them with a pretty blouse for lunch with friends or dress them down with a cosy jumper for a more relaxed weekend look.
This pale pink blouse has a lovely floaty shape, a high neckline and pretty sleeves that give it a feminine feel.
The burgundy spots make it a little more interesting than an ordinary pink blouse.
I’d wear a simple vest underneath if the fabric is sheer, just to feel comfortable throughout the day.
I also think this style of blouse would look lovely with jeans, a simple black skirt or even cream trousers.
Lots of possibilities!

White Trainers Keep The Outfit Relaxed.
Now, I couldn’t finish this outfit without a comfortable pair of trainers! Especially for walking miles around New York.
Also walking up to the Statue Of Liberty Crown.
A quick trainer photo while holding on for dear life. Yes I’m afraid of heights but had to go to the top when we had the chance. The photo above is on the way down.
Anyway, I love the contrast of a pretty blouse and tailored-looking trousers with something as casual as white trainers.
They keep the whole outfit feeling modern and wearable.
Whether you’re enjoying a day out, wandering around the shops or meeting friends for coffee, comfortable footwear makes all the difference.
And I certainly don’t want sore feet spoiling a lovely day out!
A Different Backdrop For A Little Street Style Inspiration.
I love finding interesting places to photograph outfits. Check out these photos when I wore this outfit in front of some Mickey Mouse Street Art.
The Statue Of Liberty makes a lovely setting for a different kind of street-style look.
There is something about photographing colourful clothes against an amazing backdrop that makes the colours stand out even more.
The soft pink and deep burgundy work beautifully against this background. Love the little bow tie at they back but it does look like it started to slip out here! Haha!
Sometimes you don’t need a complicated outfit to make an impact. Just a lovely colour combination and an interesting setting!
My Over-50 Style Tip: Don’t Be Afraid To Experiment With Colour:
My Over-50 Style Tip: Don’t Be Afraid To Experiment With Colour.
One thing I have learnt over the years is that fashion should be enjoyable.
There are no rules saying that women over 50 have to wear certain colours, avoid particular patterns or dress in a certain way.
If you love pink, wear pink. If you adore polka dots, wear polka dots! And if you want to wear wide-leg trousers with trainers, then why not?
I think the secret to great personal style is wearing things that make you feel happy and confident.
After all, clothes should work for us, not the other way around!

Today’s look proves comfort and style don’t have an age limit. How sweet is this jumper I got for Christmas, last year? I love it. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. So I asked santa for it!!
I paired my Joules fox jumper with these fab beige pin-striped wide-leg trousers, that I picked up from Primark. They look great for an easy, relaxed look that still feels polished.
These brown & white Air Force 1s keep it modern (and park-walk ready!). While tying in beautifully with the tones of the jumper. Don’t you think?
