Which Colors to Pair with Brown

October 27, 2025 /

For our last Ageless Style Link Up, Bo shared different color combinations to wear with brown in her blog post. While I have worn brown before, it is not a color that I have much of, nor do I wear it often. I decided to use her post as a jumpstart on creating some brown and color outfits from my closet. She wore brown with red, with blue, light pink, leopard and purple. I chose 2 thrifted pieces from my closet as my brown items: a blazer and a faux leather skirt. Most of the ways I have worn brown before was with neutrals such as white, cream or black, so this was a good exercise for me!

Brown and Bubblegum Pink

Darker brown shoes would have been better with this combination, however it was still 80 degrees when I wore the dress and took these pictures, so I wore my caramel sandals instead. The dress is a pretty contrast to the brown and I really like the addition of my backpack purse and my wrap bracelet.

Brown and Lilac

This was a daily outfit from earlier this October. I really like the light purple against the darker brown. I have had these wedge sneakers for years and the print is what has made me keep them in my closet. I don’t wear them often, but when I do, I remember why I kept them. Remember, when a trend cycles out, you should continue to wear that piece, otherwise, you shouldn’t have bought it in the first place. A piece of clothing really should not be just a one season thing.

Brown and Teal

I’ve paired brown with teal before for a date night winter (here) in the past, so I wanted to share that combo again since I didn’t get to photograph my teal lace short sleeve blouse with this skirt yet.

Brown and Prints

Brown can pair with any color print, whether there is brown in the print or not! Love it with both of these 2 dresses!

A bientôt!
