Fifty Shades Of Brown

Anywhere you go in town, there’s bound to be a woman laced in sienna, wheat, russet, and tan. All of this color begins with brown. The street style in Providence can tell you more about trends than any fashion magazine. Shades of brown are the staple for the fall season. Anyone can where they and they aren’t limited to a certain demographic. Most popularly, shades of brown can be found in knitwear and outerwear. Recently, I’ve been noticing that women choose to wear almost tunic like tops in tan and wheat with darker tints of brown on the bottom. Although this street style may seem odd they possibilities are endless.

 

This entire outfit has a brown base. The long tunic top is a light tan and her tights underneath are chocolate brown. To balance the similar colors, she pairs pewter flats to finish it all off.

Missoni’s fall 2012 women’s wear collection unleashed ferocious furs and captivating tints of brown onto the runway. The backstory is a girl who wants to lose herself in the wild but is stuck living in the city; “I am Woman”. The collection is a combination of urban influences and an immersion of nature. Angela Missoni wove the collection out of wood, stone, fur, tree bark, and mica-sparkled minerals. Each piece really packed in all the colors of fall.  Shiny metallic embellishments, chunky heels and boots, wooden details, beading and pine needles graced almost every model. Angela took interpreted the equestrian theme of the season so interestingly that it appeared to take to women out of training horses and more like wrestling wolves.
