Brown is the new black

Brown, in all its nuances and shades, is becoming more of a basic in our wardrobe. The color turned from low-key to essential and could be replacing black really soon. It’s only a matter of time!

Among big fashion principles, we all know that black is king. Yes, Black is chic, and depending on the staples chosen, it can sometimes make us look bold and outstanding. 

Black is a basic color that goes well with everything. However, despite all its advantages, this color can make us look dull, especially in monochrome looks.

Just because temperatures are dropping doesn’t mean we have to give up on the colors in our wardrobe and go for black only. That’s why we decided to go for browns. Brown is the new black with the added benefit of a dynamic touch. It gives us a chic and sophisticated silhouette.

Chic and sexy

This season, brown came in noble materials such as suede and leather. In leather, it allows us to pull a glamorous and chic look. For a slightly more BCBG style, we can't resist the Ralph Lauren Collection long leather shorts. You can accessorize it with XXL jewelry or a velvet headband for a French Blair Waldorf vibe. Suede, which is more discreet, allows you to play on the material and pull a total brown look. We can style it in a suit pant and brown sweater with a pair of ankle boots. A sophisticated and edgy look.

Gradient effects

For a trendier and more elegant total brown look, we can play not only with textiles, but also with brown tones. The effect is subtle but eye-catching.

It’s a detail that energizes our look and gives it immediately a chic touch.

For example, choose a pair of dark brown pants of your favorite cut and style it with a lighter shade sweater and choose another different tone of brown for the shoes. You can mix some accessories in the same brown hue of the pants, maybe a hat?
