Autumnal shades of brown

Although these days the temperatures are reaching the highest levels this summer (and in spite of them I still enjoy my favourite season in case you were wondering, wink) my thoughts keep sliding towards fall fashion, to brown and all its warm palette of tones. In this regard the street style never fails to inspire. And between brown and black, which one claims its supremacy in the top of the most elegant colour? Except for the LBD, I always tend to say that brown.

This greige trench coat has just become the piece I’m coveting the most for autumn.

    Hmmm I’m more of a black lover, however I did just buy a few brown pieces. Change is good and all colors deserve some attention 🙂 Have a good day! xoxo

    I also prefer brown to black, I actually don’t have many black items in my wardobe apart from a dress and a coat. But chocolate brown…. Mmmmmm…. Love it. It created perfect canvas for so many other shades.
    Hope you are having a great day, sweetie! We’ve got rain here today. 🙂

    These images are beautiful and brown shades can be so classy. When I had to choose between black and ‘ebano’ (dark brown) for my Bottega Veneta, I opted for the second one because it’s a great neutral and it’s less obvious than black. Personally, I tend to avoid black, so my ‘passepartout’ colours are navy and grey.

    These pieces actually make me excited for fall (which is almost impossible to do since summer is my absolute fave season and I never want it to go away!). The trenches are my faves. I’m in need of a nice, classic trench coat.

    I’m with you on the brown, and funny I was just thinking yesterday that my fall investment is going to be a shorter quality trench. I just wrote about earthy tones this morning–must be in the air!

    I love fall, but I always seem to shy away from brown. Not sure why! But the photos you’ve chosen are gorgeous!

    Ok, brown or black are not my first choice, but it is clear for me that a yellow coat is not suitable for the rain to come in the fall 😀 So, I say greige is the best invention because you can not wear brown with gray, but if you choose a greige trench, it goes perfectly with both. Where did you buy yours? 😀

    This is gorgeous inspiration for Fall Ada, I always love brown and camel colors. I look very pale in black but still it can look beautiful. I was so happy with the camel trend last year. I don’t like it so much when people wear black all the time.

    That dark brown trench is delish! I already have a black one, but a girl can never have too many, right.

    I would say: brown for the day, black for the evening 😉
