I love browns

EveH

So, who loves browns like toffee, caramel, ginger, cream etc. I’m trying to switch from a Winter to an Autumn because I am only wearing colors I like from now on. I’ve stuck to black, navy and gray and one day I realized I like browns better, To heck with profiling. I’m rebellious.

I also like browns better, and I think it’s a good time to stock up as these colours are more available than they were for quite a while.

Ha, so funny! My mom always told me "you and I don't look good in browns," and it took me years to realize she was wrong!

Me! Brown was unavailable at retail for so long, I am only now starting to fall back in love with it.

My color preferences change seasonally and I wear the softer shades of brown with blue, black and grey during the late fall and winter.

Prefer brown without too much reddish undertone.

I love cool browns and would like to have some more in the mix, especially with more casual wardrobe.

Ha! Added some brown late in 2020 and I’m very happy with my new acquisitions.

Oh yes, I adore browns! I would love to add more shades of brown to my wardrobe, but all I seem to see available in my size is the usual gray and black.

Me too! I have warm coloring and browns in all shades are flattering to my complexion. I’ve collected a nice capsule of brown items, including accessories (bags & scarves), over the past three years, so I can indulge my love of browns. They also mix well with my favorite neutrals of olive, gray and mustard.

Ms Mary! Obvs it depends on the brown, whether this color looks good or bat on someone! Glad you found this out!
I love all shades of brown, from darkest to lightest.
It's a very rich color!

Wait—that user name and post title together! Yikes! That’s one kind of “brown” rebellion we don’t need.

I have discovered I have too much black . I also love the browns, camel, even taupe. These are not as easy to find though, but I am with you on this.

I adore all shades of brown and it's featured quite prominently in my wardrobe. Brown works so well with shades of blue, pink, burgundy, olive, black, camel and cream. Brown is my neutral of choice.

I love all shades of brown but have not been able to find much the past few years. It is time for browns to come back.

I still miss espresso brown! I think I have just one pair of shoes left from when it was widely available. The last three years I have been able to find cognac, cocoa and truffle colored pieces on sale and have been snapping them up, as I missed brown when everything was Ink Blue, and don’t want to be caught wanting again. That reminds me, I should pull together a list of what I have and what I still need.

FashIntern, noooooo. At least, unlikely?

May we live in interesting times...

ETA: just checked the date of the post. You’re probably right.

Color profiling or analysis as in winter, spring, summer, autumn. I’ve always thought I was a winter but I’ve never cared for the winter swatches. I like the spring and lighter autumn colors better.

Nice!
Adore the browns. Not a fan of black.
I started wearing chartreuse. It’s supposed to be a bad colour on me but it’s such a great colour on its own, it looks good on me.
So go head and wear the colours you like.
