Once relegated to the countryside, where it was the preserve of tweed jackets, rugged knits, and sturdy brogues, brown has been quietly marking an urban comeback. Historically, “no brown in town” was the mantra of sartorial purists, signifying a rigid divide between city sophistication and rustic practicality. Today, however, brown signifies richness (in every sense of the word), versatility, and understated elegance.
Brown’s resurgence is a testament to its wide spectrum of tones - from earthy taupes to deep chocolate hues - providing a foundation for building a wardrobe that feels contemporary yet grounded. Lighter browns, like camel or caramel, inject warmth into tailored pieces like overcoats and blazers, creating a soft contrast when paired with navy suits or grey trousers. Meanwhile, darker browns rival black in formal settings, offering a softer, more approachable alternative.
