Can you recall a dark subdued tone of colour somewhere between red and orange, most abundant in nature- miles of deserts, soil, wood, rocks even in human and animal skin? They all look the most attractive in this colour. Imagine any other colour that could replace shades of brown here. You could not find ever! Such is the beauty of brown colour which makes it ubiquitously everlasting.
Most men would say NO to a brown suit or a brown shirt; perhaps they find it trickier to style than black or grey or navy or they can’t immediately say what colours to coordinate with brown; or some men did not even style brown in clothing.
However, whatever the myth or doubts you might have about brown colour, it is as easy to style as any other popular colour, and in fact some men could not avoid indulging in brown clothing in routine once they learn to coordinate different brown pieces of their wardrobe.
