Saks Fall Trend Report: The New Black
Sponsor Content Created With Saks
When you think of "ugly" colors, brown probably comes to mind. We get it—we're right there with you. Well, the hue is quickly ramping up to be the It shade of the season. Rather than opting for traditional black (or even camel) in fall staples like jackets and tops, designers like Stella McCartney, Boss, and Miu Miu sent a range of items down the runway in this polarizing shade instead. Yes, we're talking everything from unique puffer jackets (also a major trend right now) to dresses in the rich hue. Want to test this look out IRL? Your best bet is to swap out items you'd traditionally wear in black—like a leather jacket or skirt—and add a brown-colored item in its place. You'll not only come across forward and sleek, but you'll also stand out (in the best way) from those who weren't early adopters of this It trend.
