Brown: It's Back And We Love It Even More This Time Around

The new black?

Forget all about orange: brown is our new black. We’re going all out for this 70s-inspired hue and making the call: it’s our go-to for the season. It’s enough to warm up any chill and lends a fresh edge to just about everything already in your wardrobe.

Best of all, it comes in so many shades - from tobacco to the softest of sands to the deepest and darkest chocolate tones. More, more, more we say; think brown on brown on brown.

We saw it walk the runways of Milan, Paris and New York. The tone of smooth operators internationally as the sleek and the chic as they rocked this softer earth-kissed hue.

We checked in with our Head of Style, Nicole Adolphe for the how-to on these shades we can’t quit.
