Sorry to the Black Pieces in My Closet—I'm Obsessed With This Equally Chic Color for Spring and Summer
Fashion people from London to Paris agree.
I'll be forever loyal to everything black when it comes to my closet, but there's one other color that has piqued my interest over the past year, especially for spring and summer 2026: brown. I know I'm not alone in this since I have spotted fashion people from London to Paris to Helsinki, incorporating the equally chic and classic hue into their other wardrobes. Thankfully, the best retailers got the message and there is an endless selection of standout brown pieces for the season.
With the visual outfit inspiration above in mind, I rounded up 31 stylish brown picks from the likes of Nordstrom, Zara, J.Crew, and Gap. The selection includes tops, dresses, shoes, skirts, bags, jackets, and pants. All can seamlessly be added to your closet to create a set of effortless looks that are guaranteed to get you compliments. Keep scrolling to get shopping.
