Fine Wine

First there was navy and now there’s gray, but another surprisingly neutral hue is making its mark on the maternity and children’s markets: deep, rich red. Some call it burgundy and others maroon, but all will call it delicious now that Pantone picked the shade—dubbed Marsala after the fortified wine—as the 2015 Color of the Year. It should come as no surprise that home and fashion designers have gravitated toward the earthy tone. After all, Americans drink more wine than any other country (a total of 339 million cases in 2013, according to the latest figures from International Wine & Spirit Research). As for why the hue is hot in kids’ fashion, it undeniably lends a classic, collegiate sophistication to fall staples, from jackets to bow-ties, and it pairs well with other colors, like beige and burnt orange. Not to mention, buying a burgundy diaper bag is a safe way for moms-to-be to indulge their craving for Marsala. So drink up!
