It's finally starting to feel like summer, but the brown color trend continues to reign as one of the season's chicest colors. Adding a rich touch to everyday wear, this deep color has been a staple in many capsule wardrobes this year, and will continue to do so into the warmer months.
You may have thought this color was too dark to style during the summer, but I'm here to prove you wrong. Pairing well with shades of baby blue and metallic gold, the on-trend tone is much more versatile than you might think. We've put together five elegant ensembles that further support the brown color, a new favorite in the celebrity style set.
Read on for 5 color trends that go well with brown from my favorite celebrities.
5 celebrity outfits that show the best colors to wear brown
1. Alexa Chung: Brown + butter yellow
Style notes: Balancing the saccharine nature of the butter yellow shade, the dark brown pairing helps elevate the lighter tones and add dimension. Alexa's brown corduroy blazer lends her outfit a fresh look that can be worn season after season.
