How to Wear Brown: 6 Color Combinations

Brown is the color of the season, but how can you style it without looking dreary? Good news: it’s one of the easiest colors to pair. Here are six combinations that work every time.

1. Brown and ecru: the chic duo

This is the most elegant combination: brown pants, an ecru sweater, and brown ankle boots. The contrast is soft and bright. Try, for example, the Raya pants from Imprévu with a light-colored sweater.

2. Brown and Blue: A Classic with a Twist

Brown pairs perfectly with denim. A brown sweater like the Vita sweater by American Vintage, blue jeans, and loafers: the perfect everyday outfit. Navy blue works just as well for a more dressed-up look.

3. Brown and burgundy: the seasonal pairing

Two warm colors that complement each other: a brown skirt or pants with a burgundy sweater—or vice versa. A rich, autumnal combination, ideal for the holiday season.

4. Brown and pink—a touch of softness

Powdery pink softens the brown and adds a fresh touch to the outfit. The Krab sweater by Essentiel Antwerp, for example, pairs beautifully with pink pants.

5. Brown and khaki: a natural vibe

Khaki and olive green pair naturally with brown. A pair of khaki pants, a brown sweater, and a faux-fur jacket like the Valda jacket by Hartford, and you’re all set.

6. The all-brown look

For a very on-trend style, go for tone-on-tone: mix shades—from chocolate to caramel—and textures—knit, suede, and faux leather. For example: the Clara sweater by Black Rose, the Jemma pants by Vila, and a pair of brown ankle boots.
