Brown is the New Black

And we are all in! As we embrace the cooler months, brown will emerge as a dominant neutral, surpassing black in versatility and warmth. Pantone's Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is a soft, rich brown that exudes comfort and sophistication, making it a staple in this season's wardrobe.

Understanding Your Color Code

While brown is generally flattering for most women, it's essential to consider your Color Code when incorporating it into your wardrobe:

• Softs, Deeps, & Warms: Embrace browns like Mocha Mousse, Hot Chocolate, and Bronze Mist. These shades harmonize beautifully with your natural coloring.

• Clears: Opt for cooler neutrals like French Roast. While you can wear brown, make sure it is dark and rich to enhance your complexion.

• Cools & Lights: Brown isn't you best friend but trending colors like Crown Blue and Mauve Wine are great foundational colors for a fall wardrobe.

Styling Tips

• Layering: Combine brown outerwear with pops of vibrant colors. A Mocha Mousse trench coat over a Winterberry scarf creates a chic ensemble.

• Accessories: Incorporate brown accessories like belts or bags to anchor your outfit, allowing accent colors to shine. If your hair is brown, match your shoes to it!

• Textures: Mix different textures in brown tones—such as a velvet Bronze Brown dress with a leather Hot Chocolate jacket—to add depth and interest.

Brown is more than just a neutral this fall; it's a statement of elegance and warmth. By understanding your Color Code and thoughtfully integrating Pantone's trending hues, you can create a wardrobe that's both stylish and harmonious. Don't know yours? Take our free quiz!
