You don't have to look far to realise burgundy is the colour of the season. The deep rich hue is everywhere right now. But, once again, we see Pippa Middleton was ahead of this trend, choosing it as the main colour to wear at Kate Middleton's Christmas carol service back in 2022.

Attending her sister's annual festive service, Pippa wore the chicest burgundy coat with a black tie waist, and paired it with a pair of beautiful chocolate brown knee high boots – the two rich colours complementing each other perfectly. And we can't wait to add both of these rich shades to our autumn capsule wardrobe.

And Pippa wasn't the only one wearing the popular shade of red – Zara Tindall wore an almost identical piece to the very same event. But with both women always at the forefront of fashion trends, it's no surprise to see both of them leading the trends we're now seeing take this season by storm.

Berry Red Cinched Waist Tailored Coat

We were very excited to come across this super affordable piece at Argos. The gorgeous 'berry red' colour is perfect hue for the upcoming seasons, and the longline design add extra coverage to keep you warm as the temperature drops. The cinched waist and side pockets make it super flattering and versatile - all for a great price point too.

Kamila Velvet Coat

Nothing says cosy and glamorous quite like a bit of velvet - add this deep rich burgundy colour to the mix and you've got a winter coat that you'll never want to take off. The longline is super flattering, and will keep you warm in the chillier upcoming seasons. A timeless design, this piece will see you through multiple autumn/winters in style.

Lorna tie-waist relaxed-fit wool coat

Currently in the sale, it's not hard to see why this stunning tie-waist wool coat from Whistles is selling fast. It oozes luxury and elegance, and the 100% wool design will keep you warm in cold weather, and cool in the winter sunshine. A relaxed cut and tie-waist make for the perfect fit, and an oversized collar elevates the look overall. An investment piece you'll never grow tired of.

As such timeless staples, we wouldn't be surprised to see both Pippa and Zara step out again in these pieces over the next few months. And they both proved the versatility of them, with Zara pairing hers with classic black stilettos, and Pippa opting for striking chocolate brown knee high boots. And it's the latter that have really caught our attention.

Much like the colour burgundy, knee high boots are very much seeing a resurgence this season – and there are some absolutely beautiful ones around right now, with a very similar look and feel as Pippa's. As the colder weather moves in, boots are quickly going to become the go-to shoe for us all, and investing in a quality, stylish pair of knee highs is something you're never going to regret.
