<-h2->Brown in chocolate, tan and cognac<-h2-> Brown has quietly become the colour that makes everything else look expensive. Our collection of brown pieces runs from chocolate knitwear and tan tailoring to coffee satin slips, cognac leather look jackets and espresso denim. Layer tones rather than matching them: a caramel knit over chocolate trousers, a tan belt closing a darker coat. For dinner, a coffee satin midi with gold jewellery and heeled boots feels warmer than black and just as easy. Daytime asks less, a brown cotton shirt, straight jeans, loafers and a leather look tote. Brown also flatters gold, so let the jewellery box do more than usual, stacked rings, a cuff, hoops that catch the light. Mix textures to keep a tonal outfit from going flat, suede against jersey, a ribbed knit under wool. A chocolate midi skirt with a cream jumper is the holiday outfit that photographs well and packs flat. Knitwear, coats, dresses, denim and tailoring, all in the shade doing the most this season.
