Black, Brown, and Navy

littlebean · Kate Spade

I'm sure that it would look totally fine, but I think that you should change one of the colors. That's just my own personal opinion, though! Changing any of them would be fine, but I think that black + navy + brown is just a little too much for me. Do you have any black shoes or boots, perhaps?

cat · Marc Jacobs

I think it might just be too much. What is you wore a brown or a black sweater instead of navy?

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

Too much going on, IMO.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I agree with cat, I think you should do a brown sweater or a black one. If you do a black sweater, it'd look great to put a dark brown belt around your natural waist. Or if you really wanna do the navy sweater then go with black boots. BTW, love those boots!

poptart · Coach

I concur with FP - I wouldn't mix the navy with the brown and black.

Ditto. I think you'd want to make it clear that you intentionally were wearing black and brown together. I tend to think that when someone wears black and navy it ends up looking like they got dressed in the dark and couldn't differentiate the two.

Kitty · Hermes

I think it would work with the outfit you posted. Do you have a green sweater like that?

I mix brown and black together and black and navy..but for some reason all three is a bit much.

ETA: When I do mix brown an black, it's usually a lighter shade of brown w/ the black.

I'm not feeling the navy with the black brown combo - I can totally see olive with it though.

Jahni · Dooney & Bourke

Thanks girls! Guess I will avoid that color combo all at once...I will definitely attempt a different scheme...

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

I like olive like D suggested , or even winter white would be really cute.

lynnie · Chanel

thought i'd chime in but...those are my FAVORITE three colors to wear together, hands down. Just the other day i was wearing my ferragamo boots (tan canvas w/cherry brown leather toe), my black j brands, this awesome navy vintage sweater w/two little flap pockets at chest, and carrying a tobacco brown mini anna corrinna city tote. I somehow always end up in black, navy, and brown. so no, i don't think its too much. though maybe that brown is a little dark?

kittenheels · Coach

I actually think it could be really cute, if the navy is sort of a brighter navy and the brown is more of a medium brown...and I think a red bag or scarf would be a great pop of color!
