They say wear black to look bold, white to look pure, red to look sexy but what are you supposed to wear for a warm and reliable appearance? You wear brown. Remember that cafe, restaurant or store that you liked because of the impressive wooden interior? Wasn’t that brown? Don’t you have sweet childhood memories of a brown bear? And of course, chocolate is brown!
Do’s and Don’ts :
- Don’t layer brown with multiple colors, as it will make you look funny rather than charming.
- Spice up your simple brown outfit with black matching apparel, but don’t overuse black.
- Don’t wear a black belt or black footwear when topping with brown color. It doesn’t pull off any cool look.
- Pair jeans with brown apparel as blue color go well with it.
- Don’t wear light-shaded brown if you’re going for a job interview which demands a modern approach.
- Don’t wear simple all dark brown outfits if you have a dark complexion. Instead, match it with a pastel pink or light blue color for a neutral look.
- Keep your makeover light and appealing rather than shimmery with brown outfits for the workplace or friendly hangout.

How refreshing to find a fashion writer create a great, multicultural and multi-ethnic AND be respectful and inclusive of India’s cultural attire in addition to typical garments!
This is the writer we want for today and the future – not the near fossilized perpective of usual Anglo-Euro-American fashion rags. That and a little improvement in sentence and grammar.
May you realise that what you bring to the table is special and we need writers like you in this world. Namaste.
