Female celebrities’ brown outfits are a hit again?

Female stars love brown outfits,

It helped me find a way to retain late autumn.

Does anyone else feel that autumn is too short? The gusts of cold air seem to remind everyone that the remaining time of late autumn is running out.

The colder the weather, the more brown the female celebrities’ outfits contain.

Liu Shishi wore a brown down jacket with a light brown printed knitted hat, and she looked as gentle as a cup of hot cocoa.

Reba looks cool and sweet in a dark brown leather jacket. The retro leather jacket looks even more charming in the brown atmosphere.

Zhang Jingyi, who also wore a brown down jacket, paired it with a blue shirt. The classic blue and brown color contrast coupled with Zhang Jingyi’s own literary temperament captured the feeling of late autumn.

Looking at the brown items that female celebrities are wearing, it seems that we have found some ways to retain autumn.

Whether it is the earth tones and caramel colors of the past, or the Maillard color that was popular last year, or the newly popular chocolate brown this year, the dominance of brown in autumn and winter has never diminished.

Contracted the autumn and winter atmosphere

The associations of brown with autumn scenes are almost intuitive.

The earth tones and caramel colors included in the brown series correspond to the fruit-bearing tree trunks or soil covered with fallen leaves in autumn.

The ripe nut brown creates a retro and nostalgic atmosphere, and together with the baked earthy brown, it soothes the sensitive emotions that inexplicably emerge in autumn.

The richer tones of chocolate brown and cocoa brown make people feel warmer and calmer in the gradually colder weather.

A touch of brown is like the kiss left by the flames of a fireplace touching the air. In addition to the visual warmth and pleasure it brings, brown has also become a manifestation of luxury under the promotion of popular trends such as Maillard and quiet luxury.

But a few centuries ago, brown was not only unrelated to high-end, but was even at the other end of the high-end.

Medieval European artists adhered to a pigment contempt chain: the purer the color, the more noble it was.

They believed that high-purity pigments such as ultramarine and gold were the embodiment of God’s glory.

Ultramarine comes from the rare lapis lazuli

It was once the most expensive blue in European oil painting.

It is only used when creating important characters such as the Virgin Mary.

Brown, on the other hand, requires the addition of black to yellow or red to darken and gray the color. This mixture of brown pigments is only used by artists for drafts and sketches.

In the brown series, for example, auburn, the name itself reflects the characteristics of mixed colors.

In fact, colors such as russet and scarlet originally referred to a type of cloth. This involves another chain of contempt in medieval Europe: the closer a cloth is to its original color, the cheaper it is.

Russet was a coarse woolen material that was usually simply dyed by soaking in madder paint – a leftover dye used to dye cloth for the rich. Only the poor wore russet at the time.

So how did brown make a comeback?

On the one hand, in the late Renaissance, a painting style with strong contrast between light and dark prevailed, and sepia was often used by painters to create a contrast between light and dark between characters and the environment, highlighting the characters’ contemplative expressions, and thus became popular.

It is called “cellar lighting method”

On the other hand, as outdoor activities such as equestrianism have become a status symbol for the leisure class, earth tones have been brought to fashion shows by brands such as Ralph Lauren, becoming part of creating an “old money” image.

In the mid-1990s, brown, which once represented the working class, appeared on the Prada catwalk. Brown fabrics and uniform jackets changed the sexy trend of the 1990s and brought brown into a new fashion trend.

Before the emergence of Maillard, people were more accustomed to using earth tones and caramel colors to add warmth to autumn and winter outfits. Compared to other popular colors that are only popular for a short time, brown outfits are like brown in Renaissance paintings, calm and durable, and will not fade with the passage of time.

As the popular fashion trend “Maillard” unifies the trend, the “colorful” brown series continues to show its dominance over autumn and winter wear.

How much brown content

How can we live up to autumn?

Different shades of brown are not just a color, but also a life attitude that pursues warmth and comfort.

This fall and winter, chocolate brown has appeared frequently on the catwalks of brands such as Bottega Veneta and Miu Miu. Its low-key and rich texture is hard to ignore.

The low-key and calm dark brown color on the Burberry show gives people a sense of security. Wrapped in a sweater or a fleece coat, walking on the streets in late autumn, it is as if you have transformed into the hurried heroine in an art film, about to walk into the movie scene in the next second.

The unique brown items are naturally full of material collisions. Knitwear and leather, satin and wool are all fashionable formulas for autumn and winter wear.

A brown satin or knitted long skirt, paired with a thick wool coat or a cool suede jacket, the contrast in texture, the collision of softness and smoothness with the silhouette, creates a feeling of warmth and elegance.

Don’t worry about looking boring in brown. The multi-layered changes in brown are the ideal choice for creating a layered look in autumn and winter.

The high compatibility of brown with other colors can easily start the color game in matching.

Choose 75% brown as the main color of the overall shape, and black, white, and gray are all good auxiliary colors. The combination of black and brown and gray and brown can increase the aura of high intelligence, while white items can add vitality to the shape dominated by brown.

If you choose 50% brown, you can unlock more fashionable gameplay.

The basic idea is to match brown with bright colors. You don’t have to worry about having difficulty controlling highly saturated color items, and you can still create a unique visual effect.

The combination of brown and blue can be said to replicate the clear and refreshing autumn weather. The contrast between cold and warm formed by the brown and blue highlights the American modern retro temperament.

This year’s popular brown work jackets or suede coats, paired with a blue inner layer or jeans, are a perfect way to go to work.

Another color combination with a retro feel is brown + green. Compared with the brown and blue color combination, the brown and green combination has a more cinematic feel.

Brown accessories such as long boots, handbags or leather gloves are also versatile options for autumn and winter styles, warm and chic.

Just like the iteration from earth tones to Maillard, brown outfits also bring new imaginations in the changing seasons. Whenever autumn and winter come, the warm earth under the setting sun leaves the most romantic brown.
