I've started looking for darker browns too and they are also elusive except in sporty brands.<br /> Hope it changes soon but not holding my breath </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1846689 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 20:52:34 +0000 The Cat 1846689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, I also own a taupe blazer, bought 2016 at H&amp;M. It is soft and comfortable and doesn't wrinkle. A great item for traveling, and easy to combine with many other colours. I don't used it in summer (when I wear my white or light grey blazers, or none at all), but I have worn it a lot in fall, winter and spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1846687 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 20:46:00 +0000 texstyle 1846687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just saw your reply Inge - thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1845397 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 11:57:25 +0000 Inge 1845397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wash them in the delicate cycle on cold, texstyle, and they come out great. No shrinkage etc. I don't tumble-dry though, just hang to dry, and usually I don't even need to iron them.</p> <p>I hope this helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1845260 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 21:07:18 +0000 texstyle 1845260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge - I wonder if you trust those Gibson twist front tops in the delicate cycle of the wash machine or do you hand wash? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1844882 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 14:07:31 +0000 texstyle 1844882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Inge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1844842 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 10:45:01 +0000 Inge 1844842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle - I completely forgot to mention that I already have this top in blue and in grey, and am very happy with it.

And it would be a fun change.</p> <p>Here are some things I've found. And fingers crossed more will pop up as Fall merchandise hits the stores.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-starfish-slouchy-turtleneck/id_305411?sku_0=::GVK"><a href="https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-starfish-slouchy-turtleneck/id_305411?sku_0=" rel="nofollow">https://www.landsend.com/produ.....411?sku_0=</a>::GVK</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theoutnet.com/en-US/Shop/Product/751886?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-J84DHJLQkR4-_-Custom-_-LinkBuilder&amp;siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-QmVqpo.Xkok8xdfZ2s3FgA&amp;ShopStyle+%28POPSUGAR%29=ShopStyle+%28POPSUGAR%29">https://www.theoutnet.com/en-U.....tom-_-Link</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1844046 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 01:57:50 +0000 The Cat 1844046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, would like to see, buy and wear more taupe and other cool browns. I just bought a taupe skirt with some lurex in it. And I love my taupe &amp; offwhite &amp; grey leopard print coatigan, which I wear year round, my taupe &amp; grey leopard print platform booties, and my short necklace with small taupe pearls, which is a gift from dear old friends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1844014 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 23:39:18 +0000 Suz 1844014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know!! I really love it as a neutral but wow is it elusive!! I had a taupe knit skirt at one time...and I guess I have a taupe patterned tube skirt (just remembered it now because I intend to wear it tomorrow!)&nbsp;</p> <p>It can be super flattering on cool toned blondes and redheads and works pretty well with grey or white hair too. Also good on brunettes with cool skin. So I don't get why it is so hard to find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843968 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 20:38:19 +0000 texstyle 1843968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - laughing because I missed your comment, then posted exactly what you said about boots and bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843965 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 20:27:22 +0000 texstyle 1843965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like the only two taupe things I've found in the past few years have been booties and a handbag!&nbsp; I did get a taupe cashmere sweater a couple years ago and love the color but don't get to wear it much. I wonder why this color is so elusive? Maybe it is hard to get right in the dye process? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843952 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 18:20:39 +0000 Suz 1843952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love taupe. I loved it better when my hair was still blonde, but it still works even with my grey hair if it is cool enough. I consider tan to be a warm neutral; taupe to be its cooler cousin.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's often difficult to find except in booties and bags. I have a taupe pant suit. (The actual colour is closer to the way the pants look in the photos). I also own a few items with taupe in the pattern. These are all at least 4 years old.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843943 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 17:27:29 +0000 anchie 1843943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also thinking about taupe. It should be very useful color that goes great with all other neutrals. Just not sure how flattering it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843927 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 16:29:08 +0000 Laura G 1843927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Shiny </b>-- I just bought a ton of olive for the same reason: it literally matches my hazel eyes. In fact if the browns don't show up in stores pretty soon, olive is going to be my main neutral this winter.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843922 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 16:12:22 +0000 shiny 1843922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've also been craving taupe, well actually, camel -- but resisting it with all my might. Because it doesn't flatter, or work well with my wardrobe, so I fear it'll wind up being an orphan.</p> <p>Instead I'm loving the "new" olive.... which works with my eye color, and plays like a neutral.</p> <p>Also I'm having incredible luck with inky blue this season!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843920 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 16:05:37 +0000 Laura G 1843920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just looked in my closet and noticed almost no brown of any shade--and brown is my main neutral. You can't buy what they're not selling. I hope it's true the tide is turning from grays to browns. I'm ready to stock up.</p> <p>Oh, I don't know if they have taupe, but Nic + Zoe is one of the few lines I've found that does any shade of brown at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843902 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 14:20:41 +0000 Anonymous 1843902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adding my voice to those wanting more taupe. I don 't expect to see it available much for a few seasons with browns just beginning their moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843883 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 12:44:52 +0000 unfrumped 1843883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like taupe and find it more face- flattering than black and navy. However I have trouble building wardrobe around if because there are so many different shades that it tends not to be a neutral for me, but a " color"- like a taupe sweater that I could wear with either black or navy bottoms. I don't seem to be able to mix it with other fall browns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843869 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 10:57:23 +0000 Brooklyn 1843869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. But watching with interest. I am also on the hunt for more tan/taupe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2#post-1843857 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 07:34:15 +0000 rachylou 1843857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately no, not yet... but this week I have fallen in love with 'greige.' </p>
