Not Black and White—The Rich-Looking Colour Combination Everyone’s Wearing Instead Right Now

For me, discovering a new colour combination that just works is like slotting in the final piece of a puzzle—the wave of satisfaction is palpable. In fact, it’s even better, because, a perfect pairing of shades is something you can return to day after day. And lately, I’ve been feeling the same smug satisfaction as I slip into the pink and brown colour combination trend on repeat.

Between the fluttery shade of pink and the grounded essence of the brown, this pairing feels perfectly balanced. Pairing a vivid summery shade with a demure autumnal hue, this elegant pairing feels particularly relevant for styling as we approach the cooler months.

Inspired by the elegant looks saturating my FYP, I’ve seen this combination styled in a myriad of different ways. From rosy blouses pairing with chocolate trousers, to pink shirts worn with brown suede bags and silky blush skirts swishing against deep mahogany boots—each one as elegant as the rest.

There’s something particularly compelling about the way the fluttery shade of pink offsets the grounded, earthy essence of brown. Coaxing a softness out of the dark brown shade that makes it feel much more approachable.
