How to Wear Brown?

Boring - so many people are used to perceiving the color brown. It can help to make extraordinary fashion combinations! In previous years, Brown was much quieter than its timeless counterparts - black, dark blue, and gray, or it only caught the eye when the 70s style appeared on fashion shows.

Recently, brown color has become one of the main colors in the fashion arena. It has already earned the title of “new black” and will definitely not lose its relevance in the next few seasons. You can be convinced of this just by watching the Spring-Summer 2024 shows: it is hard to find a designer who does not use brown in the collections.

Despite the fact that the latest collections at Fashion Weeks are saturated with black, traditionally sophisticated autumnal shades are ubiquitous on the runways. One is brown: many fashion houses have staked on noble, elegant, and aristocratic brown, which is associated with the smell of coffee, bitter chocolate, and expensive brandy. Now all shades of brown are in trend: from dark, reminiscent of espresso, to light, like a latte. So in this blog, we will show you the most interesting ideas on how to incorporate brown into your closet and offer you some practical brown outfit ideas.

For the third year in a row, one of the main colors of the fall-winter season is brown. This color is quite self-sufficient, so in most cases, fashionistas prefer to wear it in monochrome total looks. Nevertheless, brown looks even more spectacular in combination with other colors. Below we tell you about the best color combinations that we managed to find on the catwalks.

✅Brown and burgundy
Burgundy is one of the most trendy colors of this season. It looks quite spectacular both in monochrome brown outfits and in combination with other colors. For example, with brown. This combo will be to the taste of all fans of total black and dark color schemes. Together burgundy and brown look elegant, expensive, and at the same time non-trivial.

✅Brown and green
Another fashionable color with which designers suggest wearing brown this fall is green. Its shade can be any: pistachio, olive, and even rich emerald will look great. The ratio of colors in the image can also be different: for example, you can combine them in the proportion of 1:1 or almost completely dress in brown and complement the outfit with green shoes.

✅Brown and gray
Brown and gray is not an obvious combination. However, many fashion brands suggested combining these two basic colors for a brown outfit in this fall/winter season. The secret of success is simple: you need things of bitter chocolate color and classic gray - they look the most effective with each other. If you want, you can dilute the combo with black, white, or red accessories.

✅Brown and powdery colors
Light base shades, such as classic beige or slightly pinkish powder, will help to “soften” rich brown. We suggest combining it with tobacco color, but other shades of brown will look great in such a combo. And, as in the case with the previous combination, such a combination can be safely complemented with things of black and white color.

✅Brown and blue
Brown with blue is an unexpected color combo for many people, which became popular last season, thanks to the fashion show. However, you can combine brown and blue without any additional “impurities” - this color combo always looks spectacular.

✅Brown and orange
The best way to cope with autumn moping is to make a “dopamine” closet of things in bright colors. And so that the image does not come out too shouty, they can be “calmed” with the help of basic tones. For example, combine an orange sweater with brown pants and outerwear, as Alberta Ferretti suggests. It will be bright and tasteful.

✅ Brown with scarlet
Scarlet has conquered the street style. Its sharpness, brightness, and vigor can be slightly calmed down by the neutral character of brown. This piercing combination will make your fall-winter brown outfit interesting, noticeable, bold, and yet harmonious.

The rise in popularity of brown is associated with the popularization of the seventies style. Fringes, floral prints, and shades of brown are all from the beginning of this decade that never fail to inspire vintage fashion lovers. Brown has a bad reputation due to the fact that many people think it is not compatible with any other color. This is not true. There are many color solutions, from classic to the most daring.

Monochrome
One of the top trends is the total brown outfit. It looks elegant and stylish, especially if you combine different textures and shades within one look. A classic monochrome look consists of elements of one shade, including shoes and bags. For someone, such an outfit may seem boring. In this case, we recommend the following: cool modern monochrome should consist of elements of different shades of brown. For example, a sand-colored pantsuit, a beige coat, a chocolate-colored bag, and walnut-colored shoes.

For added effect, you can:
Play with contrasts and combine dark brown with light brown.
Add different textures to the same look, but keep the base color.
Add brown embossed shoes, such as crocodile imitation.

Mix it up with denim
Playing with hues and textures doesn't have to be complicated - just choose one key color and one fabric, such as brown and denim. These combinations are based on simplicity and include basic pieces in great materials. For example, a jacket made of wool tweed with clear shoulders will be the 'dark chocolate bar' around which you can build the whole look. Wear it over a Western-style shirt, buttoning only the top button to reveal a white tank top. Baggy jeans and 90s-style low heel shoes will complete your brown outfit.

Go for a brown dress
A more elegant look will turn out if you bet on a brown dress. The most universal is a knitted maxi with thin straps - it can be worn both on its own and with jackets or jackets. And if you are looking for a more evening option, then take note of the elegant combination or a dress with a halter collar made of silk or satin: a wow-effect is guaranteed. Instead of a dress, you can also choose a skirt. A trendy A-silhouette model, a silk maxi or midi, or a strict suit option will be a great fit. Complement it with any top or blouse in tone. And if you prefer mini, the most popular style now is the “balloon”. Combine it with a simple “top”: a basic T-shirt or an alcoholic T-shirt.

Brown pantsuit
The most popular choice for brown outfits of fashionistas is a brown pantsuit. It can be worn anywhere and still feel as comfortable as possible. And most importantly, the jacket and pants can always be worn separately. It is best to bet on a straight-cut suit: it will fit any figure and will last you a long time. But if you want, you can choose a blazer and voluminous, fitted, and even shortened - these are now also at the peak of popularity. Another great choice for business images is a brown vest.

Classic length or elongated in the style of the 90's - it all depends on your preferences. While it's warm outside, wear it on your bare body, and as it gets cooler - over a shirt, a long sleeve, or as part of a three-piece suit. Don't write off chocolate shirts either. Especially elegant will look model made of silk or satin, but you can stop and on the basic cotton options.

Break up the brown outfit with black
Don't worry, black doesn't need to be put away at the bottom of your closet. It is stylish to wear a brown coat, combining it with charcoal and black shades. Start with shoes: velvet ballet flats will add elegance, but sneakers are also quite suitable. And if it's already snowing, then Uggs! Complete the look with black pants with a minimalistic design and a modest cashmere sweater to match.

Adding a bag
A bag in brown shade can transform even the most boring image. If you prefer large bag models, which fit “little life”, then give preference to trendy toots - they can have different shapes, so it will not be difficult to find a suitable model. And for more elegant outings, small accessories such as clutches or “baguettes” are suitable. Chocolate shade in suede looks especially noble and “expensive”, so do not discount products made of this trending material. And leather remains an invariable classic.

Brown is conquering the catwalks but is also becoming an integral part of street style. It is perfect for both office outfits and everyday life. By ditching black in favor of brown this fall season, you can refresh your closet and give it a new depth. In addition to clothing in brown, fashionistas often bet on shoes and accessories.

✅Voluminous scarf
This fall, voluminous scarves have expanded their functionality - they can be worn not only around the neck but also as a headdress replacing a balaclava. Chocolate brown shade in this case is an unmistakable choice: a scarf in this color harmonizes with down jackets, wool coats, and even leather jackets. The main thing is to give preference to accessories made of dense knitwear. Not only monochrome products are suitable, but you can look at models in plaid or multicolored solutions in which chocolate appears to add to your brown outfit.

✅Heeled brown shoes
This fall, shoes in chocolate brown shades eclipsed black products. Girls prefer exactly the first option - it is no less stylish and functional. In addition to retro sneakers in a similar version, a great choice will be booties, Cossacks, and boots in a cocoa shade. The chocolate palette also rhymes with textured leather, so shoes made of material under crocodiles or reptiles should be taken into account.

Brown boots are well combined with a leather jacket in a shade of Bordeaux. In addition, you can safely take outerwear in gray or black, which will also be perfectly stylized with such shoes. Short Uggs retain their popularity this season. Influencers choose classic light brown shortened versions, which are combined with elegant coats.
