The “ugly” color brown seems to be making a subtle comeback in the celebrity wardrobes. Ringing in autumn a little early, B-town is giving us all the goals to ditch neutrals and blacks and opt to don shades inspired by mother nature, like the deep soil, bark of the tree, etc.
With organic fashion and earthy tones being the buzz words this year, we have all the reasons to wear this color which otherwise does not enjoy a very happy reputation.
A favored color choice from the 70’s, looks like there will be some spottings in the rich and warm hue this autumn.
We have always had bags and trenches in shades of brown, but now, it’s time we upgrade our collection adding elementary brown.
Transitioning perfectly into the winter wardrobes, this color is here to stay.
Considering it’s a tricky color to work with, we have a lookbook here, made only for you to help you and guide you through the various dressup
