How To Style The Color Brown In 7 Ways
Now that the leaves are changing, so should our wardrobe. Brown is the most fashionable color for fall, but it’s a color that can be tough to style. We’ve broken down seven different ways to go about the color brown to make it feel a bit more approachable!
1. Comfy Brown Outfits
The first step in our brown color style guide is to find clothes that are both comfortable and stylish. If you don’t want to go all-out with your wardrobe, brown sweatpants will keep you comfy while also making you look more fashionable. A cozy brown matching set is the ideal way to be 100% on-trend while still feeling like you’re in your PJs. Another option is to throw on an oversized brown hoodie; you’ll be comfy while still looking cute and trendy! There’s no excuse not to wear brown in your outfits; it’s a great way to keep stylish without having to put in a lot of effort!
2. Monochrome Brown ‘Fit
Next up is monochromatic brown outfits! The best way to go about this look is by mixing and matching different shades of brown and different textures. For example, opting for a darker shade of brown as your top and a lighter shade for your bottoms creates more depth in your outfit. The contrast is also a very stylish twist to the monochromatic trend. You can add in different shades of brown through accessories such as handbags or sunglasses as well. For an extra twist, you may want to opt for a handbag with a brown pattern. Remember, you can also always mix different patterns and textures of brown like leather and fur!
3. Hint Of Brown
If you aren’t sure if you are ready to swap your entire wardrobe for the color brown, this next one's for you! Try incorporating just a hint of brown into your looks to get you warmed up. You may opt for a pair of brown boots or add a simple brown cardigan to your outfit. Even the smallest splash of brown will ensure that your look is trendy while not appearing overbearing. Even if you’re not sure if brown is the color for you, adding just a hint of it to your ensemble allows you to step outside of your comfort zone! Either through your shoes, a cardigan, or your accessories, you can add the amount of brown you like the best in your looks.
4. Brown Leather
Next up is one of our favorites: brown leather. We all know that leather is a popular trend in fashion for fall, but why not make it brown? Something about brown leggings has the ability to add a twist of class into your wardrobe that will make you feel chic and stylish. Another way to take on the idea of brown leather is through a blazer or skirt; no matter what you choose, this ensures that your outfit has a unique touch. The great thing about leather is it is easy to dress up or down depending on the vibe you are going for. Finish off your look by adding gold jewelry, which pairs perfectly with any brown clothes you choose!
5. Brown Satin
Another way to rock the color brown is by opting for the super classy and fashionable material known as satin. We have already recommended you give leather a shot, but if you are hoping for a more flirty and polished look, then satin is the way to go! A silky brown satin mini dress is a perfect choice for someone who is hoping to pull off a classier look with a bit of fun. You may also opt for tops of satin material such as tank tops or elegant blouses. Satin also works perfectly to create a monochromatic look; maybe even try matching satin with brown leather pants!
6. Brown Patterns
The purpose of our brown color style guide is to guarantee there is something for everybody to try. Our next idea is another one for those of you who are still unsure about how you feel about wearing brown solely on its own: brown patterns. A more subtle way to incorporate brown into your outfits is through patterns such as dominant brown checkered patterns or more elusive animal prints. You can choose to either incorporate more brown into your outfit, or with other colors to have it blend in. Complete your outfit with accessories that complement the brown patterns you chose!
7. Brown Blazer
Last but certainly not least on our brown color style guide are blazers. These are the perfect way to go for anyone who is trying to incorporate more brown into their wardrobe. They are easy to style and even come in a majority of materials and patterns. Dress them up by pairing a leather blazer with a mini dress or with work trousers; for extra style points, match your blazer with your top. You can also dress down a blazer by wearing it with a pair of classic blue jeans or with a graphic tee underneath. You can never go wrong with how you style a blazer! The blazer itself adds dimension to any look no matter what, and you can go one step further by opting for a brown one!
