Long gone are the days of tucking skinny jeans into riding boots and throwing on an oversized sweater, so my first instinct was to immediately panic buy this chic item. Zara Map And bomber jacket create all brown version my typical uniform. Unfortunately, the cost of wearing these items will be quite low if I continue to avoid mixing brown and black based on outdated fashion rules that have been ingrained into my brain since the early aughts.
Enter Hailey Bieber, who recently stepped out at Sushi Park in Los Angeles wearing a tan suede trench coat with an all-black outfit and a Mercedes-Benz baseball cap, accessorizing the entire look with a neutral trump card: a leopard-print bag.
Not only is leopard print neutral (according to my mom), but the pattern itself is often made up of varying shades of brown and black, instantly tying together opposing pieces e.g. Bieber satin black trousers and a suede raincoat.
The same can easily be said about my cozy black mountain coat it makes me feel like Olsen's twin in brand new brown suede boots. I honestly don't know how it took me so long to figure out this sartorial equation.
