Sure, we all love black—it’s the easiest shade on the color wheel to wear, right? As it turns out, brown is just as versatile. Plus, it’s a lot less predictable. It’s both a classic color and a trend of the past several seasons, meaning that brown is, in fact, the new black. (Sorry, we had to.)
When paired with a variety of other hues, brown looks surprisingly sophisticated, making it a great replacement for your standard-issue black. It feels rich and luxurious with these complementary colors—what more could you ask for? That said, brown is notoriously polarizing. Many consider it to be an “ugly” color. But hear us out and give it a chance. It feels surprisingly fresh this season in particular, and it’s an unexpected departure from other more beloved neutrals.
