I love brown clothing, it is such a beautiful warm, rich color. Now next to black, no slightly below, green is my favorite color. But it used to be brown. I can still remember when I was about 15 years old and looking for brown trousers, corduroy. Of course I knew exactly what those trousers should look like. And of course it was nowhere to be found.
Back to brown clothing.
But in the end I found in a very small boutique at the bottom of a pile on the floor my brown corduroy trousers! No one wore brown, but I did. I also had a gorgeous brown trouser suit from Scotch & Soda when I was 15. Brown is not a popular color. Coincidentally, we now see many different shades of brown in this season. Yes I know that we always see brown in fall collections. But often not those gorgeous warm shades of brown clothing. And also often in pretty frumpy items.
So now I’m squinting at all the pretty brown. Like this skirt. I wear it actually pretty often with this cardigan. I am really happy with that cardigan. And I immediately fell in love with this skirt when I saw it. Good length too. It was already late in the afternoon when we took these photos. It was to dark actually to take some (read 70) photos. And it was bloody cold. So I was in the mood for a warm thick sweater.
But I actually had this top in mind with the short brown cardigan. And when I tried it on it looked pretty boring. I need to make it work, because when I bought the skirt I had that outfit in mind! Perhaps I need to add a lot of gold, or wear my white boots underneath. I think that is what it is, that look needs heels!
Brown and blue clothing worn together.
This sweater is older and actually not even my color but somehow I think it looks good and it always gives my skin a bit of a glow. I can’t explain that because it is a cool color. Anyway, I also am wearing a brown necklace and brown and blue earrings. And the lovely leopard and blue bag. Oh how very matchy matchy. I think I will show you more beautiful brown clothing this season. There are at least many more in my shopping cart……(s)
I would really appreciate it if you would follow me on Instagram.
My favorite of last week is: Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey

Thanks Laurie! Have a great weekend!
Brown does get a bad wrap but it shouldn’t because it really is such a great neutral and less harsh than black. I loved reading about you searching for the perfect pants you had your mind set on. Your skirt is so beautiful, such a deep, rich shade and it looks so pretty with that blue sweater.
Have a great weekend Nancy!

Nancy, I am TOTALLY WITH YOU regarding brown. I’m always looking for gorgeous brown clothes but, like you, can’t usually find it which is so annoying! I was pretty happy earlier this year though, because H&M had my favourite vest top in brown so I bought two! And I love brown with shades of blue—especially aquamarine shades. Just gorgeous! I’m obviously loving your skirt!
Big hugs

Thank you very much Suzy! I totally get you bought two of the cardigans! I bought also a few brown sweaters, just because I won’t be seeing such beautiful shades of brown next season!
The blue sweater was a perfect color to pair with the brown skirt! What a pretty combo! I love this type of blue and have a sweater in a similar tone. Thinking I should pair it with one of my skirts that has some brown in it. I don’t think I have tried that. Have a wonderful weekend!

That’s a gorgeous outfit – love both the skirt and the blue sweater! Yes, I also really like brown, but gosh it is so hard to find jeans and trousers in brown, skirts are slightly easier. But it’s such great colour and suits warm complexions like you and me.
Have a lovely weekend x

Indeed! You really have to search for the right items! Thanks Penny!
This is a super cute outfit, Nancy! That blue sweater looks great on you. I am developing a love for brown. For so long, I really didn’t like it, but I think it had to do with the shades of brown that were popular for awhile. Like you, I’m a fan of warm browns. But often browns have too many gray tones that just make them look muddy. So I’m slowly adding brown to my closet.

Yes Michelle, often you see the cooler shades of brown which I don’t like either!
I love the sweater…as I am a huge sweater lover! Great color!

Thanks!
I also like brown clothes as a teenager. ? You look amazing Nancy and I like the colour of this jumper.
I wish you a great weekend!

Thank you very much Tina!
I am glad to see more chocolate brown out there. I prefer it over black! Love this mix of this very pretty periwinkle blue on you with the brown.
Have a great weekend!

Black will always be my number one color but brown has such gorgeous shades!
I don’t think we often see you in blue – but it looks good and there are some nice blues in the autumn palette. Have a great weekend
Author
Thanks Gail. No indeed, and when I wear it is navy!
Oh wow, Nancy, this outfit is beautiful! And I love these fall photos. I have a long dark brown skirt that I have been struggling to style but now you have given me some ideas. I love the light blue paired with the dark brown. It is a really soothing color combination. And I also like the chunky sweater with the maxi skirt. Hmmmm….you have me thinking. stay tuned!

I love brown a lot and often combine it with blue. Thanks love!
I’m the same way with the color brown. People thought I was crazy for having brown as one of my favorite colors, but now its a trendy! I loved how you paired it with that blue sweater!!

Haha strange right! It is such a beautiful color!
Isn’t it funny how you get an idea and just can’t rest? I often come up with something in my head and can never find it! Brown is such a lovely color…full of depth and so many different shades. I love this look…those earrings are gorgeous! Brown and blue work magic together, don’t they?

I think they really do! Might have worn it back then too!
Love all the textures in this outfit, and that wonderful chunky beaded necklace! Brown is a great neutral that is often overlooked, and it looks perfect with the gorgeous shade of blue of your sweater. Thanks for the link up and enjoy the holidays!

Thanks Di, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!
I do love brown too, although unlike you it hasn’t always been the case. Due to the brown and navy school uniforms of some Belgian schools, I skirted both colours for years.
I love how you styled your skirt – which indeed is the perfect length – with that blue jumper. I always think that shade of blue works very well with chocolaty brown. Loving your necklace and handbag too!
Oh, and I am so hearing you about making photos when there’s a lack of daylight! Pff.
Have a great weekend Nancy! xxx

Oh I understand that. I have it with black and white because I used to work in a bar.
Oh I just love this color combo!
Author
Thank you!
Thank you for hosting, Nancy. This is another chic look. Really laid-back but stylish. Me like mucho. xo Fijne weekend

Dankjewel lieve Sabina, fijne maandag!
I’ve always like brown too, and it goes with almost everything in my closet. The only thing I don’t absolutely love it with is grey. For some reason those two neutrals together don’t make me happy, haha.

Depends Jodie! I have a post somewhere, I think the title is boring colors, where I wear grey and brown. Depends on the textures and prints.
How perfect that Salazar was wearing brown, too! I realized I needed some brown in my closet a few years ago when Sonja chose it for our Match Made in Seven Collab. Now I can’t seem to get enough! I really like it with that blue sweater, Nancy. I’ll have to try that. I have a brown velvet midi skirt I bought last year and just realized I’ve never worn it! Your skirt will look very cool with white boots and lots of gold!! Have a great weekend.

Haha, you see where a collaboration leeds to. Oh please show that velvet skirt Darlene!
I think brown is definitely making a comeback—Megan Markle was just photographed wearing a gorgeous brown coat and I want one now 😉

I don’t have a lot of brown clothing in my wardrobe but it’s a nice neutral! I have quite a few brown bags! 🙂
I really like the skirt on you, the blue knit is the perfect pairing with it!
Thanks for the link up!
Hope that you have a great weekend ahead of you 🙂

The blue sweater looks great with the brown skirt, Nancy! I’ve been a fan of rich browns for most of my life, and am always amused when brown goes out of fashion. It’s been out for nearly a decade – I remember despairing between 2009-2019ish that there was no brown to be found. Thank goodness for second-hand shopping, where every colour is available!
Thanks so much for the link party! I’m joining you in my leopard gown (yay for brown!)
Author
Yay indeed! On one side I am glad that brown is a trend now, lots of choice but I don’twant everyone to like it oversudden, lol.
Don’t these colours look great together Nancy, I adore blue with brown and should try it. Sorry I didn’t make the linkup xx Jacqui
