Daytime vs. Evening Guest: A Visual Guide to Trendy Browns (AW 25/26)

Brown is the new black: warm, elegant, and 100% flattering. For daytime , tobacco/tan tones in matte finishes work; for evening, go bold with chocolate and fabrics with a subtle drape or sheen.

Why choose brown this season? It flatters (almost) all skin tones, blends effortlessly with golds and nudes, and is more contemporary than black for events. Here are six ready-to-buy picks: three daytime looks with matte textures that smooth out the skin, and three evening looks with a controlled sheen. Finally, a quick guide to choosing your ideal shade in 10 seconds.


Day Guest (light and matte browns)

  • Key colors: tobacco, tan, light cinnamon.
  • Textures: crepe, bambula and matte taffeta (photo-friendly in natural light).
  • How to finish: soft gold, nude sandals or pumps, and a subtle headpiece.
