How to Make The Brown Trend Less Blah

Look to cinnamon, paprika and turmeric tones to spice up this season’s biggest trend

The beige trend is taking the fashion scene by storm and it’s easy to see why. Neutral tones are the simplest colours to pull off because they work with everything, it’s literally in their nature. They’re our safe colours, the ones we fall back, that ground our outfits when we’re trying something more daring, like neon brights or animal prints. This season is different though, they’re no longer fading into the background, they’re not merely there for backup support, instead beiges and browns are the hero pieces in our wardrobe.

As much as we’re all inspired by the outfits we see on Instagram during Fashion Week, attempting an all-brown look IRL can easily turn into something quite bland instead of street style chic. So how do we make it a little more interesting? With a little spice, of course.

Without stealing the spotlight like pop colours would, shades from your spice rack – think cinnamon, paprika, turmeric and even fennel – complement earthy tones and make an all-brown outfit way more desirable.
