Brown is such a sumptuous color, it has become something of a fixture in our closets. There’s just something about a brown satin skirt or a pair of chocolate-colored leather pants that looks so rich, we make it a goal to incorporate these layers into our wardrobe. It appeals to maximalists and minimalists alike, and when brown separates are combined into a monochrome look, now that’s a sartorial delight.
