I Hate the Color Brown, But I'm Into These 17 Pieces
I’m just not that into brown. Sue me! Usually, the next thing I’d say would be, "Never have been, never will be," but some of this season’s pieces have me rethinking the latter. While I usually only stray from my wardrobe color palette of black, white, and blue (because jeans) for a serious exception, recently I find myself uncharacteristically drawn to a new neutral, and it’s kind of weird.
At first, when I saw the shade on countless garments coming down the S/S 19 runways last September, I was nothing more than intrigued, but now that the clothes and accessories have finally made it to market, I find myself letting certain pieces slide into my wish lists and almost my shopping cart. The fashion week street style that's going on right now certainly isn't helping the matter either. So just what am I loving? Just keep scrolling to first see some of my favorite runway inspiration for the trend then to see and shop my picks.
On the runway:
Shop my brown picks:
Nanushka's vegan leathers are second-to-none, and this dress is particularly of interest to me because it can also be worn open as a coat.
You can always count on Zara for an affordable find and a cool way to style it.
Another mini bag I might just have to add to my collection.
This easy skirt will look perfect with floss heels and a T-shirt this spring.
Don't forget the matching pants.
Swap this with your go-to black knit for an almost-too-easy way to nail the trend.
Wear this easy dress layered or on its own for an effortless look.
Up next? Shop the absolute-coolest things I've seen this month.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
