The two colours

What beige and dark brown each bring

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.

dark brown

The deepest brown: rich, warm and quietly formal. Polished enough for the office, relaxed enough for weekends.

Works best as: Shoes, belts and winter knits.
