Earth tones continue to trend with great popularity. Dark browns like chocolate have made a comeback, and are gaining momentum across the seasons. It’s wonderful to see all sorts of traditionally Autumn and Winter colours trend for Spring and Summer. As long as the fabrics and silhouettes are seasonally appropriate, sport any colour at any time of year.
Onto some outfit inspiration.
1. Dresses
Here’s a patterned brown and cream belted shirtdress in a very breezy lightweight fabric. Classic white sneakers add a sporty touch. A raffia bag adds a beachy and carefree touch. I see earthy, cream or gold sandals, espadrilles, and ballet flats work well here too.
Here is more solid and patterned Summer brown dress inspiration. And an easy one-and-done.
2. Browns and Blues
Dark browns look fab with all sorts of blues. Going with blue denim, light blue, turquoise, cobalt and navy are great options both as solids or patterns. Here, a pair of on trend dark blue denim jorts is combined with a simple dark brown tee. On trend black thong wedges are the shoe of choice. A black and white zebra bag matches the shoes and works well with the neutral palette.

3. Sets
Matching sets, or co-ords continue to trend with pants, shorts, or skirts as bottoms. They can be solid, textured, or patterned. Here, a dark brown summery jacquard set is VERY breezy and easy to wear. It’s completed with a back support act of trending black cord necklace, flat toe-loop sandals, and black bag. Feel free to sport a much smaller bag.
More summer brown co-ord inspiration. Most of it is casual. Some a little dressier.
4. Browns and Whites
Last, wear dark browns with all sorts of whites. From optical white, bone, oyster and off-white, to warm creams, ecrus and tans. Here, a dark brown and caramel swingy striped tee is combined with cropped white barrel pants. Cinnamon wedge sandals add an earthy touch. The top has a little more colour, which adds further interest. The palette picks up the whites and caramel running through the model’s hair. Add jewellery, watch, and bag as desired.
