We saw burgundy manicures with shiny and matte finishes backstage at New York Fashion Week, and the options off the runway are just as plentiful. Try Burberry Nail Polish in Elderberry , $22, for the exact glossy shade seen at the design house's fall runway show. Or take Jin Soon Nail Polish in Audacity, $18, and make it matte with Jin Soon Matte Maker Top Coat, $18.

Pops of color -- the kind you get with this Rebecca Minkoff tote, Rag & Bone leather gloves or oversize Chloé sunnies -- are the perfect way to break up an all-black ensemble.

Unless you happen to be a supermodel (or, like Kanye West, you don't mind looking cuckoo bananas), there are certain fashion trends that are practically impossible to wear. So when a wearable trend -- like the burgundy shade we saw all over the fall collections -- comes along, we're all over it. The fact that the rich bordeaux color is wardrobe- and makeup-friendly makes it even better. All of a sudden, the cold months ahead seem much more bearable.
