Time to move on from Fifty Shades of Grey ladies… because fashion designers couldn't get enough of the 50 shades of red this fall!

Burgundies simply reigned supreme on the Fall 2012 runways. Like your favorite vintner's selection, the wine colors ranged from red tinged with brown, called oxblood, to red tinged with purple or blue, like a good Bordeaux. These lush colors showed up on dresses, fur coats, leather skinny pants, suits, jeans, bags and shoes.

Other ways to wear oxblood? With rich fall colors like burnt orange and cobalt blue or more subdued with olive green and camel. It looks great on most complexions and blends seamlessly into any wardrobe.
