Even though we’ve finally had a taste of summer, the brown colour trend is continuing its reign as one of the chicest colours of the season. Adding a rich-looking touch into your daily wares, the deep colour has become a heavyweight player in so many capsule wardrobes this year, and that’s set to continue in the warmer months also.
I get that you might have thought the colour was too dark to style throughout summer, but I’m here to prove you wrong. Wearing well with baby blue and metallic gold shades, the trending tone is far more versatile than you might have imagined. A new favourite amongst the celebrity style set, I’ve rounded up five elegant ensembles that further champion the colour brown.
Read on to discover the 5 colour trends that go with brown—as told by my favourite celebrities.
5 CELEBRITY OUTFITS THAT SHOWCASE THE BEST COLOURS TO WEAR WITH BROWN
1. ALEXA CHUNG: BROWN + BUTTER YELLOW
Style Notes: Balancing out the saccharine nature of the butter yellow shade, a dark brown pairing works to elevate the light tone and add dimension. Alexa’s brown corduroy blazer grounds her outfit for a fresh look that can be worn across seasons.
