Brown is Back - Lovelier Than Ever!

There’s something about autumn light that makes colors deeper, kinder, more thoughtful. The trees turn copper and burgundy, and suddenly brown — the color that once felt too serious, too dusty — starts whispering again. I used to think of brown as the color for older people walking their dogs (I love dogs in all colors - it's the brown raincoats and rainboots that I admire less!).

I always knew brown was my color. I bought my perfect brown pants back in 2010: beautiful cut, soft fabric, deep chocolate shade. They made me feel fabulous! Then came the moment of “too boring, too dull,” and they disappeared into the back of the wardrobe, neatly folded, waiting. Last year, that color spoke to me and tried them on a few times.. I was getting back to browns, slowly.... And now, 15 years later, they’re back — paired with off-white, fuchsia, or even all-brown on monochrome days. Fashion, after all, loves a good comeback story.

The Color of the Season

Brown this season is not heavy or dusty — it’s modern, sleek, and gloriously versatile. Designers call it the new neutral, but it has far more warmth than beige and more softness than black. It feels like the style equivalent of a good cappuccino: grounded, comforting, but sophisticated.

How to Wear Brown for Your Season

If you’re a Cool type (Summer or Winter), look for the browns that carry a touch of grey or taupe — think mushroom, cocoa, or espresso. These shades love to be paired with cool companions: icy blue or pinks, or soft lilac, or your favorite shade of white. If you’re a Warm type (Spring or Autumn), choose caramel, chestnut, or cinnamon — warm, golden tones that shine next to mustard, coral, or olive green. Brown loves friends with character!

Monochrome, But Make It Fresh

Head-to-toe brown can be stunning when textures do the talking — suede with silk, wool with satin. Add a pop of metallic, fun jewlry or a colored shoe (try pink, blue or mustard) to lift the whole look. Brown is your calm canvas — you decide how much playfulness to bring!

So if you, too, have an old brown piece hiding somewhere in your wardrobe — maybe it’s time for its revival. Pair it boldly, wear it softly, let it surprise you. Let me know if you are looking for ideas! Because brown isn’t boring anymore — it’s the color of quiet confidence, cozy elegance, and the joy of rediscovery.
