Sofia Richie Grainge and Nicole Richie Wore the "Rich" Bag Color That Makes Fall Outfits Look Chic
Although sisters Sofia Richie Grainge and Nicole Richie have many things in common, I always thought that their taste in fashion was one of their few distinct differences. I always associate Nicole with a more undone, boho aesthetic and Sofia with a quiet-luxury vibe, but their latest outfits just put into question everything I thought I knew.
Proving that they have even more in common than I imagined, the two stepped out on different occasions, styling the same fall bag trend this weekend. While pushing aside the brown and black hues that fashion people often reach for across the cooler months, the sisters instead both plucked "rich" looking burgundy bags to complete their off-duty looks.
Sofia wore a Hermès Kelly bag in a deep burgundy shade slung casually over her body with a simple T-shirt, pants, and sneakers outfit. Richie Grainge's sleek bag choice kept her outfit feeling refined and chic but far from boring by adding a flush of color to her black-and-white look.
While her younger sibling chose a style large enough to see her through her day's worth of activities, Nicole Richie's choice was neat, compact, and perfect for evening use. Hers was a small burgundy style in a supple suede fabric, which felt chic and sophisticated and easily elevated her jeans and T-shirt outfit.
It's no surprise that burgundy bags are catching on right now, as the trend made a huge impact on the runways in February. It appeared across Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Ferragamo's F/W 24 collections and will rival its black and brown counterparts for the remainder of the year. Burgundy wears well with soft shades such as butter yellows or flush pink, as well as with rich fall shades like khaki, as Richie demonstrated with her look over the weekend.
As the color is set to dominate throughout the rest of 2024, read on to discover our edit of the best burgundy bags below.
