Burgundy (or maroon) is a deep, cool red: soft pink makes it tonal, cream makes it autumnal, and light blue, white or navy keep it simple.
Find what fits me bestSoft pink is burgundy in a lighter key: one red family worn pale and deep, which looks coordinated without matching. The light top keeps the deep pants spring-like, and grey suede sneakers stay out of the way. It flatters cool, soft coloring and suits a spring barbecue or a warm evening out.
A cream knit or flannel shirt warms burgundy up, so it reads as an autumn color, not a cool wine. The soft off-white keeps the light-dark contrast rich but never stark. Cognac boots finish it for a fall weekend, and this version flatters warm coloring most.
Light blue gives burgundy clear light-dark contrast in a cool hue, and brown loafers with a matching belt keep it smart for a business-casual day or a family dinner.
White is the sharpest shirt and makes burgundy look darker, close to a dress pant. White sneakers repeat it at the bottom; add a navy blazer when you need more polish.
Navy and burgundy are both deep, so this is a low-contrast evening outfit that looks calm and grown-up. Oxblood loafers pick up the red of the pants.

A bright red shirt over burgundy pants sets two reds of one family at different depths and slightly different temperatures, and the gap reads as a mismatch, not a tonal choice. If you want red above burgundy, go much paler, to pink.
Dark brown is as deep as burgundy, and with no light between them the two blur into one muddy block below the face. If you like brown with burgundy, keep it to the shoes and belt and wear a light shirt between them.

Burgundy pants, often sold as maroon or wine, are a red darkened until it behaves almost like a neutral. That depth makes them easier than bright red: burgundy chinos or wool pants look rich, not loud, and they take shirts that would fight a brighter red. This burgundy leans slightly cool, with a hint of purple.
Its best shirts come from its own family and from its warm side. Soft pink is the same red diluted, so the outfit turns tonal; cream warms the wine toward autumn. After those come light blue, white and navy, the basics that work with most pants. Shirts as deep and warm as the pants, such as dark brown, blur into them. For shoes, dark brown, oxblood and white leather all work, while very light tan can look yellow against the wine.
Dark brown leather is the default, and oxblood loafers make a tonal finish that looks deliberate. White sneakers suit summer, grey suede a casual day. Black works in the evening with a navy or black top. Very light tan shoes can look washed out next to the deep wine, so choose a mid-brown instead.
Maroon leans browner and warmer than burgundy, so warm pale shirts suit it a little better: cream, ivory, light blue and a soft camel knit. Navy still works as a dark partner. Cool pinks can look slightly off against the brown in maroon; a peachy pink is the easier choice.
Yes, for the evening. Black over burgundy is dark, moody and very easy to wear to a dinner or a concert. Because both colors are deep, the outfit has little light near the face, so a silver watch or a white tee showing at the collar keeps it from looking heavy.
Light grey works well: a cool, quiet neutral that lets the burgundy carry the color. Mid grey suits a knit sweater in winter. Charcoal is too close in depth to burgundy and can look dull, so if you want a dark top, navy gives you the depth with a clear difference in hue.
