Black, Brown & a Cape (How to Wear Black and Brown, Part II)


To some, black and brown should never go together. Ever. I'm on record as loving these neutrals paired up. To me, it's an easy way to dress for fall (almost winter! shudder...). Everyone has multiple black and brown basics in their wardrobe - just throw on separates and you are out the door! 

What do you think? Do you mix black and brown?

  10. Love this look Kristen!!! You know I love brown and black together, whoever came up with the idea that they don't go together just wasn't doing it right ;)

    I mix them! I especially like the caramel brown with black, but I've put chocolate brown and black together too. And I love a cape! Yours is a really nice, versatile length.
