We’re seeing everything oxblood in current style offerings; bags, footwear, trousers.. everything you can imagine.  Topshop has truly jumped on the oxblood bandwagon; their Ascott boots, short coat and oversized sweater are some of the best styled and affordable pieces available at the moment.

When it comes to boots, Fiorentini and Baker’s Cusna are an excellent grab, along with Dr Martens’ classic 8 holes.  In the land of bags, the minimalistic Alexander McQueen Wicca is an excellent choice for those wanting to be prim and proper, while Mulberry’s Brynmore is far more utilitatian.

If you think about it, oxblood is the ideal shade of red for fall styling; you can evoke the changes of the leaves on your person.  Autumn of Bondage, anyone?
