2. Customizing Undertones, Shades & Proportions
Welcome to Part 2 of my breakdown on Burgundy outfit inspo 2024 | mini leather shorts buttoned shirt.
Before you lock in your final formula or outfit pairing, here is how I adapt the tones and textures for each client.

Pin Look
Finding Your Most Flattering Version
If your undertone runs warm or golden, lean into terracotta or brick-red burgundy shades for your lip and blush.
They’ll harmonize with your skin’s natural glow.
For cooler or pink undertones, choose a blue-based burgundy (think merlot) to avoid any muddy or sallow appearance.
Texture matters too: matte leather shorts pair beautifully with a satin or silk buttoned shirt for contrast.
While adding a patent heel brings a glossy pop.
I always tell my clients to balance proportions.
If the shorts are fitted, go for a slightly oversized shirt and vice versa.
✦ Which Finish Fits Your Vibe?
- Velvet Rose-Gold Glow: Effortless, soft-focus dimension that flatters every skin tone in daytime or candlelight.
- High-Impact Statement Finish: Crisp lines, rich pigment payoff, and bold contrast for evening events or street-style photos.
- Balanced Proportions: Keep one feature bold while letting the surrounding textures stay airy and breathable.
