The two colours

What beige and brown each bring

A signature pairing. Tonal earth tones a clear step apart.

beige

A light, warm neutral: soft, calm and summery. It is gentle next to the face on warm colouring and easy to pair with other earth tones.

Works best as: Trousers, trench coats and summer knits.

brown

A warm, mid-to-dark earth tone that grounds an outfit. Less formal than black, and the classic leather colour.

Works best as: Shoes, belts, knitwear and trousers.
