Three tips on how to wear brown

When I saw this dress, which I like a lot, I thought about how brown is people's least favorite color, according to researchers.

We know that specific colors get more attention while others are underappreciated.

Brown is considered dull and uninspiring by many people, but I know that we only need to be creative when styling brown.

Here are my tips for you to create outfits wearing brown:

  • Are you looking for sophisticated outfits? Go tonal. Match brown with tan, camel, or ivory.

  • If the idea is to play with unexpected color combinations, try to match brown with pink (analogous color pairing) or blue (complementary color combination).

  • There are warm browns but also cool browns. If you want a brown top, consider your complexion and choose the best undertone for your skin. If you are wearing brown pants, it doesn't affect much because it's far away from your face. Then, putting on a shirt on your color palette will do the trick!

Do you know what kind of brown fits you?

When you find your color palette, life gets better. You shop wisely because you understand color combinations and how to camouflage the colors that don't look good on you.
