Time to read 5 min
As the weather cools and the days draw in, our wardrobes are craving warmth, comfort, and a little joy. Enter The Sugar and Spice Edit — Dotique’s love letter to the colour pairing that’s everywhere this season: pink and burgundy.
From soft blush knits to rich berry tones, this feminine yet confident palette is the perfect antidote to grey November days. It’s playful but polished, bold yet wearable — and proof that colour doesn’t have to fade when the sunshine does.
Think:
💗 Pretty pink jumpers that brighten even the dullest days.
🍷 Deep burgundy layers that feel rich, warm and sophisticated.
✨ Textures you’ll want to touch — soft knits, velvet, and faux fur.
👗 Outfits made for real life — from cosy weekends to dinner plans.
Here’s how to wear the Sugar and Spice trend this autumn, why it’s having a fashion moment, and the pieces we’re loving in store right now.
Why Pink and Burgundy Are Having a Moment
Fashion has fallen hard for this unexpected duo. Designers from Copenhagen to Milan sent models down the runway in rosy pinks paired with deep wine hues, creating a look that feels both nostalgic and new.
The contrast is what makes it work. Burgundy brings depth and sophistication; pink adds lightness and femininity. Together, they strike the perfect balance — the “sweet and strong” combination that women everywhere are leaning into this season.
It’s also incredibly flattering. While bright pink can sometimes feel loud, and burgundy can lean too heavy, blending the two creates a harmony that suits every skin tone.

How to Wear the Trend in Real Life
The best part about this colour story? It fits seamlessly into everyday life. You don’t need to overhaul your wardrobe — just weave in a few Sugar and Spice pieces to bring warmth and style to what you already own.
For Work
Trade your usual neutrals for soft pink blouses or berry-hued trousers. Pair a blush knit with tailored brown trousers for a polished yet approachable look.
For Weekends
Embrace cosy femininity with textured knitwear and tactile layers. A chunky pink jumper with jeans or a burgundy gilet over cream cord trousers feels relaxed yet intentional.
For Evenings
Rich shades come alive at night. Try a burgundy satin blouse with a pink clutch, or a soft velvet dress in deep wine tones. Add gold jewellery to keep it luxe.
Texture is Everything
This trend isn’t just about colour — it’s about feel. Autumn is the season of texture, and pairing plush fabrics makes the look even more appealing.
Knits: Soft, tactile and cosy — go for pink cable or burgundy roll-necks.
Velvet: Adds instant elegance for dinners and parties.
Faux Fur: Perfect for layering and balancing colour with texture.
Satin: Adds a festive sheen to deeper tones.
The Dotique Way: Sweet Meets Sophisticated
At Dotique, we’ve always loved colour — and this palette feels perfectly us. The Sugar and Spice Edit celebrates femininity and confidence with a modern twist.
You’ll find:
Oui & Esqualo: soft blush knits and tonal layering pieces
Vilagallo & Noella prints that mix pink, plum and wine shades
Rino & Pelle: textured outerwear for everyday luxury
Red Button & MAC: grounding jeans and trousers in mocha and chocolate
Every piece has been hand-picked for quality, comfort, and that all-important feel-good factor — clothes that don’t just look good but make you feel it too.
How to Bring the Look Together
Start small: A pink jumper or burgundy bag can freshen your outfit instantly.
Mix tones: Pair deep shades with light to keep things balanced.
Add neutrals: Cream, camel and taupe stop the palette from feeling too strong.
Keep it tactile: Knits, velvet and wool make the combo rich and cosy.
"When the two hues combine, it’s pure magic. The pale pink helps to balance the richness of the burgundy — creating a perfect harmony."
