55 Deeply Beautiful Maroon Outfits

Inside: Saturated Maroon outfits for everyone and for any occasion.

The world of color is taking over, and it’s changing the color palette game, but some of us are trying to keep to muted and neutral tones. Green tones, light purple, and pale yellow all fit in the not too colorful category of colorful neutrals, and I think we can add maroon to this list.

Even if you love love LOVE the color trend, maroon is such a stunning shade of dark red that you can’t resist! Mixing it in with a bright red is such a cool contrast, or even with pinks and whites! It adds a depth of color to any outfit.

If maroon is perfect for anyone and everyone, then let’s dig into some good maroon outfit ideas for all occasions! If you have trouble pairing colors or maybe maroon specifically, here are 55 maroon outfit ideas to make it a little easier when dressing in maroon.

What Colors Work With Maroon?

Color matching and pairing is such a fun concept! The answer I always want to give is that there are no right answers! If you like it, wear it. But playing with colors adds such a dimension and when funky colors are paired together well, it’s a really cool element to add to any outfit.

So, what colors pair well with maroon?

Naturally, most neutral colors look great with maroon: black, white, and cream. I would stay away from brown and gray, as they feel “almost neutral” in the same way that maroon does. So if you’re going for more color pop effect with the dark red, use white, black, and cream as your neutrals to do so.

If you want to mix in other fun colors, some of my favorites to pair with maroon are bright red, light pink, light blue, and navy.

The pinks and reds add a new dimension and pop of color to an outfit, using light and dark shades of the same color. It can be bold and girly, and it can be perfect for the holidays! I love this color combination.

The blues can be tricky because it can either look super classy and preppy, or very much like 2014 hipster. And that’s not my personal goal with the color pairing, but you do you!

The difference is in what style of clothing you’re wearing! If the goal is old money preppy, you’ll want to pair a maroon sweater with a navy tennis skirt or a light blue button up with maroon slacks. It’s a classic color combination that gives class and elegance.

How Can You Style Maroon For Family Pictures?

Using a dark color like maroon for family photos is perfect! You can incorporate the color into every family member’s outfit, and all in different ways.

I would personally use white and/or khaki as the main other color, and would vary which item of each person’s outfit is maroon and which one is white. Between polos and button ups for men with khaki or white slacks, or maroon slacks with a white button up, there’s a bunch of variety already in how it’s styled!

For the girls and women, there are dresses, jumpsuits, sweaters, and slacks that would all be really cute together for the family picture. Using each person’s personal style to decide who’s wearing what is a great way to make sure everyone looks themselves in the photo! Dresses and jumpsuits don’t necessarily need to be paired with white or khaki, so only pairing when needed keeps all of the outfits looking clean!

For men, black shoes are perfect or white sneakers if that’s your family’s vibe, and same for women! Black or white shoes are perfect.

When Is It In Season?

Maroon season is pretty simple, since it’s a dark warm tone, it’s naturally a fall/winter color. You can rock it into spring, but it’s so dark it really looks the best in colder months!

Again, I like to play like there are no rules to fashion, but I do also look correct for the season and occasion, so you can throw this rule out the door or keep it around! Up to you.
