How to Style a Burgundy Necklace with Clothes You Already Own
A cream sweater. Your favorite jeans. That black top you always reach for.
The Bauble Burgundy Necklace gives familiar outfits a rich touch of color, with glossy beads that bring their own personality.
Let’s find a few ways to wear it that feel like you.
Find your outfit idea
Have you ever picked up a colorful necklace and immediately wondered, “But what would I wear it with?”
That is the question I want to help you answer. A piece earns its place in your jewelry box when you can picture it with the clothes hanging in your closet.
Burgundy is a lovely place to start. Its deep red shade brings color to neutrals, looks beautiful with denim, and can carry you from a casual lunch to a holiday gathering.
Meet the necklace
A little gloss. A rich shade. Plenty of possibilities.
The Bauble Necklace in Burgundy features glossy acrylic beads with gold detailing. The rounded beads create a noticeable focal point, while the deep color makes it easy to pair with familiar wardrobe staples.
- Beads: Burgundy acrylic
- Detailing: Gold
- Length: Adjustable 17–20 inches
- Closure: Lobster clasp
- Product designation: Nickel-safe
What colors go with a burgundy necklace?
Start with a color you already enjoy wearing. These are my suggested pairings, with a simple way to try each one.
| Your top | Why I like the pairing | Try it with |
|---|---|---|
| Cream or ivory | A light background lets the deep beads show clearly. | Dark jeans and small gold hoops |
| Camel or oatmeal | Soft, warm neutrals give burgundy a cozy setting. | Brown boots and a simple bracelet |
| Gray or charcoal | The cooler neutral gives the rich red an interesting contrast. | Black trousers or your favorite jeans |
| Navy or denim blue | Blue and burgundy make an easy everyday combination. | A denim shirt or navy knit |
| Black | The glossy finish adds interest to a simple dark outfit. | Stud earrings and one gold bracelet |
| Soft blush | The lighter pink offers a gentle contrast to the deeper red. | Neutral trousers or dark denim |
Three ways to get dressed
1. Give your cozy neutrals a finishing touch
The outfit: Cream or oatmeal sweater + dark jeans + burgundy beads + small gold earrings.
A soft knit and glossy beads make a pretty combination because their surfaces are different. The sweater brings softness; the necklace catches the light.
For a bulky sweater, check how the necklace sits before deciding on the outfit. The 20-inch setting may work over a finer knit, but a thick collar may take up more room than the necklace allows.
2. Let denim keep it easy
The outfit: Denim shirt + black pants or jeans + Bauble Burgundy + simple studs.
A beaded necklace can feel right at home with casual clothes. Try it inside an open denim collar, with the beads visible against your skin or a plain tee underneath.
You can also wear a denim jacket over a cream top and let the necklace bring the color. It is an easy combination for lunch with a friend or a day out.
3. Refresh your black top for a gathering
The outfit: Simple black blouse or dress + burgundy beads + small gold earrings + one bracelet.
The color and glossy finish give your everyday black pieces something fresh. Try the combination for dinner, a church gathering, or a holiday get-together.
If the neckline already has ruffles, sparkle, or elaborate trim, try the necklace with a plainer top first. That gives you an easy starting point for seeing the shape and color.
Make the neckline work for you
The printed length is a useful starting point, but a necklace sits differently depending on your neck, your top, and the size of its beads. Here is what I would look for in the mirror.
- Scoop neck: Try the beads inside the opening, with some space between the necklace and the fabric edge.
- Crew neck: Position the necklace above the edge or let it rest on the top, if the available length allows.
- V-neck: Try the rounded necklace within the V. Check that it sits comfortably instead of catching where the neckline narrows.
- Open collar: Frame the necklace with the collar, leaving room for the beads to show.
- Turtleneck: Test the longest setting over a fine knit. If it feels crowded or tight, reach for a different top.

What earrings should you wear with bold beads?
Small gold hoops, simple studs, or a neat drop earring are easy starting points. They echo the gold detailing while leaving room to enjoy the burgundy beads.
If you love larger earrings, try them. Look at the full outfit and see whether you like the balance. Your hair, glasses, and neckline all play a part.

A few questions you might have
Can I wear a statement necklace casually?
Yes. A plain tee, denim shirt, or simple sweater is a lovely place to start. Let the burgundy beads provide the color and keep the rest as relaxed as you like.
Is this necklace only for the holidays?
You can wear burgundy whenever you enjoy it. Cream knits and dark outfits make it especially easy to picture in cooler weather, but denim and a plain tee work beyond the holiday season.
Is the Bauble Burgundy Necklace stainless steel?
The supplied product description lists acrylic beads and gold detailing. It does not identify the necklace as stainless steel.
What does the nickel-safe designation tell me?
Nickel-safe is the designation provided in the product description. It does not establish that the necklace is nickel-free. If you need more specific material information, ask me before ordering so I can help you check.
Pick a top. Try the beads. See how you feel.
You do not need a whole new wardrobe to enjoy a different jewelry look. Start with one top you like wearing and give it a little burgundy.
