If it's a darker, almost black brown, there won't be enough contrast for it to look intentional--it would be like mistaking navy for black and wearing them together. However, a lighter brown could work, and I would prefer that over black, since a monotone outfit is rather dull.</p> <p>If it's a darker brown, I'd just use black, though I strongly agree that a pop of color is always the best option. Combining neutrals is okay, but just okay. Adding colors, particularly unexpected combinations, makes an outfit a lot more exciting and less safe.</p> <p>Can I ask why you're wearing an all black outfit at all though? If there's a way to incorporate color into the outfit itself--even if it's just a camisole--I think it will probably add some interest. Just curious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-of-purse#post-1180 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:59:43 +0000 Kasmira 1180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't carry a brown purse, unless you are using brown elsewhere in your outfit. Adding one brown accessory to a black outfit often comes across like an accident or carelessness.</p> <p>If your choices are brown or black, I'd choose black. If your black purse has an interesting texture or a shiny finish, it will stand out from your outfit.</p> <p>I think the ideal is to pair the black outfit with a brightly colored purse. There are lots of bright purses on the racks for spring. Target has some lovely yellow bags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-of-purse#post-1171 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:32:32 +0000 littlelulu 1171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If i am wearing an all black outfit, should i use a brown purse to break the color cordination or should i use a black purse? </p>
