Here is one i did a short time ago.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797565 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 21:59:40 +0000 Vix 797565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Nanabear --</p> <p>I am also fussy about color combos but I guess I'm fussy in a different way from those who only like cognac and lighter browns with black!</p> <p>I'd wear your chocolate booties and black jeans together in a heartbeat. I love mixing low-contrast neutrals (navy/denim and black, navy and deep brown, charcoal with either).</p> <p>While I don't really care if folks think I pulled the wrong color shoes etc to go with my clothing and often wear only solid versions of black/brown together, I *do* think adding a black + deep brown pattern into the stew can make things seem more intentional.</p> <p>Below are some ways I wear my espresso and black together. I say wear yours in good health! </p> <p><strong>Photo 1: </strong>Black/brown scarf, black leather jacket -- I've worn this with black and dark brown skirts and trousers</p> <p><strong>Photo 2: </strong> Putting a black/brown knit top with solids of the same -- a bit too much leather here given black boots/jacket and dark brown purse! </p> <p><strong>Photo 3: </strong> I've worn this with brown jackets/sweater and boots as well as the black shown here</p> <p><strong>Photo 4: </strong> me holding up the knit top against the scarf to test the mix, so it looks a little lumpy -- I did go onto wear the two together!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797528 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 20:58:38 +0000 Irene 797528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's got to be a light brown (more like cognac, caramel or beige) for me to work with black. But I'm very picky when it comes to color combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797517 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 20:25:47 +0000 Aziraphale 797517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't know it was taboo. :-)</p> <p>One of my favourite shoe/pant combinations is my black skinnies with brown, scuffed ankle boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797433 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 15:57:59 +0000 Angie 797433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love black worn with brown. Why not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797402 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 15:15:38 +0000 Ornella 797402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a convert. Prior to finding YLF I pretty much hated it, but then I realized that the right brown with black can look so good. I don't wear the combination often, or at all, myself as I don't have much brown stuff apart from a handful of accessories, but I adore the look on others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797401 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 15:13:09 +0000 Anonymous 797401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore it but with a scarf so it looked deliberate, as Deborah said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797393 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 15:05:34 +0000 Suz 797393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and if the tones are right I think it works brilliantly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797355 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 13:24:24 +0000 Karie 797355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look! I prefer it with lighter (cognac) brown boots better than darker brown, but I have worn it both ways. I have a pair of dark brown boots with black flecks that I wear with back. Here's the link to a WIW I posted when I wore them:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-an-evening-of-shopping-with-my-mother-in-law" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....her-in-law</a></p> <p>I agree with Deborah, make it look deliberate. I posted some pics, I hope this helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797325 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 08:12:59 +0000 Deborah 797325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any strong opinions about wearing black and brown together. The only comment I have is that I think you have ensure that it looks deliberate, otherwise it can look like you grabbed something in brown because you didn't have it in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-black-with-brown#post-797303 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 06:10:58 +0000 Nanabear 797303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What are your opinions regarding wearing black with brown? I know some people say it's a clothing taboo while others don't care. Personally I want to wear my black skinny jeans with my chocolate brown booties. </p> <p>In your opinion, what works and what doesn't? </p>
