15 Interesting Ways To Style Brown Trousers
Have brown trousers but don’t know how to rock them? Check out 15 interesting ways to style brown trousers.
Brown trousers are everywhere and for a good reason. Yay! After all, brown trousers are easy to style, and seeing Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at Paris Fashion Week inspired me to try them myself.
I got a pair and was surprised by how chic and versatile they were. If you’ve been wondering, “How do I wear these trousers?”
Good news: they can anchor endless outfits once you learn how to style them. Here, I’ve curated a list of 15 stylish trouser outfits for women to wear all year. There’s something for everyone.
How To Wear Brown Trousers
Before we look at the different outfits, let’s look at a few styling tips that make brown trousers look chic.
1. Pair Your Outfit With One Main Piece
For example, I always pair brown trousers with a white shirt, then keep everything simple. You can also anchor it around a textured cardigan or sweater, or your shoes. This will keep you from looking overdressed.
2. Match Undertones
There are different shades of brown. Some are warm with gold and red undertones, while others have cool undertones like grey or taupe.
Pair warm browns with warm colours like cream, rust, or camel, while wearing cooler browns with grey, navy, or black.
3. Mix Different Textures
Want to take your brown trousers from boring to wow? Mix textures!
For example, pair wool trousers with soft knits, cotton chinos with leather jackets, or suede shoes with silk tops.
The contrasts make your ensemble look stunning.
4. Balance Proportions
If you’re wearing wide-leg trousers, go for a fitted or tucked-in top. If you’re wearing slim trousers, go for a slightly oversized sweater or flowy top.
Best Accessories For Brown Trousers
Gold and silver jewellery look good with brown trousers. Gold pairs beautifully with warm browns, while silver looks best with cooler shades of brown.
Match your jewellery, belt buckle, and bag hardware to keep everything coordinated.
