When it comes to dark neutrals, brown has historically taken a back seat to hues like navy, black, or gray. But years of opting for other colors has actually played a major part in the comeback of brown outfits. Designers like Chloé and Bottega Veneta have used the earthy color as a way to contrast sexy silhouettes or ground feminine pieces, resulting in an understated elegance hard to achieve with any other hue.
Given the current penchant for minimalism and natural beauty, it makes sense that this natural tone has been embraced on runways and in street style alike. From deep chocolate to light sand, the entire spectrum of brown is on trend. Unlike other dark neutrals, it’s easy to mix shades of brown in one outfit. Add one piece to your wardrobe, or don head-to-toe brown outfits (à la street style stars). Here, the pieces to add to your wardrobe rotation now.
