What goes with Burnt Sienna?
Burnt Sienna is a vivid, dark orange from Sanzo Wada's A Dictionary of Color Combinations, the 1933 reference Awtfit uses to score every outfit it builds. Wada recorded 9 palettes containing Burnt Sienna. Those are the combinations below, and they are the ones Awtfit scores your wardrobe against.
How to wear it
As a rule, Burnt Sienna goes with navy, slate and forest green, the classic cool foils that stop it shouting. Because it is vivid, one loud piece is a whole outfit. Put it on top or on your feet and keep everything else quiet.
- The safe version: Burnt Sienna plus one partner from its palette, plus a neutral in the largest area.
- The lightness check: keep a clear step in brightness between it and whatever sits next to it, or the outfit goes flat however correct the hues are.
- If you own one piece in it: treat that piece as the point of the outfit and build quietly around it.
