Welcome to the monthly edition of Match Made in Seven! We are an international group of fashion bloggers who meet virtually once a month. One of us chooses a theme each month, and that can be anything: a book, music, a color, a movie. And then we all style an outfit based on that theme.

This month’s theme was chosen by Sonja of https://www.yustsome.nl/ and is “Brown.” A fun one for me as I love so many shades of brown, from chestnut to chocolate. See my post about the theme below…and be sure to take a look at my fellow bloggers to see how they have interpreted the theme this month.

Brown, which has not really seen as much popularity as it is now since the 70s, is
“waking up from a sabbatical with a vengeance,” according to Dutch trend forecaster, Lidewij Edelkoort.

Many think that black goes with everything but brown is harder to pair with. But Edelkoort makes the point, “Brown is in perfect harmony with any other colour, it even results in colours becoming more vibrant, because the neutral tone supports them. Black, on the other hand, overpowers other colours paired with it.”

There is a great deal of variation in the brown color range, from cream to brick and bronze. We’ve all certainly seen the spicy chestnuts, cinnamons, and cognacs over the past few autumns. Expect to see them during the rest of the year, as well!

For myself, I loved brown even when it wasn’t a “popular” color. And I’ve liked it combined with black, denim blue, aqua blue, pale pink, to name just a few favorite color combinations.

Here I’ve paired it with a tan pashmina and leopard flats. This is one of those times when I missed having a human photographer who would have noticed the pashmina was all bunched up the wrong way through most of the pictures! Ugh. I sorta wish I’d worn it with a denim jacket instead of the scarf. Next time. I feel like I show “dress with denim jacket” So Often, I tried to veer from that uniform, but…there’s a reason that’s a uniform. It works!

Are you a fan of brown?
