Break the Rules
12 years ago by
Dans la mode, ça a longtemps été considéré comme une faute de goût, mais moi, je trouve que ça fonctionne super bien.
Le marron, c’est une couleur hivernale hyper chaude qui prend un petit air plus moderne quand on la mixe avec du noir.
Surtout quand c’est avec une combi-pantalon comme celle de Brianna… sans oublier des sneakers !

I’ve been pairing them for years too. I feel it « grounds » the look, tones down the severity of black-on-black. In fact, right at this moment I’m wearing black pants and brown boots and just had someone compliment my outfit, so I must be doing something right!
I love this look, the colors are great for winter…but most of all I love the jacket!

…and I probably should add that I’m a redhead too. Maybe that’s part of the reason that color pairing works for me, like some of the other commenters have noted.
Just love brown and black, and even her faux-fur with her sneakers. Thanks Garance and Brianna, I’ll remember this… Break the rules!

J’adore ! Il faut dire que la texture et la couleur de cheveux sont une partie integrante du look.
Love love love. Faux fur is my favorite. There’s nothing wrong with combining brown & black. It seems so right. :] // itsCarmen.com ? ?
Cool look!

Le marron associé au noir était la combinaison de couleurs préférée de Madame Hélène Rochas, ai-je un jour lu mais je ne sais plus où ? Et j’aime beaucoup aussi.
Brown and black is like the blue and black used to be a very bad taste and now we even find it elegant…I remember groing up my mom will cordonate the same earring color like her cloth and bag and it was absolutely elegant than it became bad taste… Fashion has always worked on cycle .what looks great today will be bad taste tomorrow …..so I believe we should have fun and enjoy with fashion …

I am not a fan of brown, although when I had chestnut hair i used to be…but I am a fan of breaking rules and for Brianna rule breaking behavior was worth it, this outfit is great.

I grew up thinking mixing black and brown was taboo, but as I’ve gotten older I feel like sometimes this combo can work. Sometimes I see people combine the two, and it doesn’t look so great. Not sure what the boundaries are. I think a thick brown belt can highlight a summery black dress. I don’t think I’d feel the same about a black Oxford shirt with brown pants, though.

I hate to say this. But everything works on beautiful girls who look model-esque. Like Birks. Or running shoes. They are total mom shoes everywhere ! but when these gorgeous minimal/normcore fashion bloggers wear em, or the models wear them, they can pull them off.
Not for everyone.
The fashion rules are meant to be guidelines for being universally flattering. Please pick not-so-drop-dead gorgeous people to demonstrate such break in rules next time ?
Breaking the rules is always interesting…
This look is just perfect !!
i think fashion is all about breaking rukes. most of all nowadays with all the street fashion comin up…
you are always my favourute one to read!
lots of love and luck to all of us.

Looks great! Maybe works best with red hair.
I think it works basically because she’s a redhead. That blends it!
Love her look!

Looks great!
Any idea where her jumpsuit and faux fur coat are from please.
He hair is gorgeous and completes the look
When I moved to Milan years ago I noticed many women wearing brown & black and navy blue & black. I thought it was practical and chic. Never have stopped wearing it.
CUTE LOOK!

I have mixed feelings about this combo although I do wear it sometime… I think it very much depends on the kind of brown…
Je pense que c’est purement américain de penser que le mélange marron et noir est incohérent, les françaises l’ont toujours fait, comme de mélanger le bleu marine et le noir (voir Mme Inès de la Fressange).
J’ose le bleu et le noir ensembles…alors je ne lancerai pas la première pierre!
I have always mixed brown and black. Works best when the brown is rich.
I agree with this colour combination, but the brown has to be rich, like a dark whiskey or chocolate-y brown. I feel the same way about navy blue and black. Awesome!!
Great look. So comfortable and confident. Not a fan of combinaisons though
I say to those who make up arbitrary rules about fashion; pshh! Whatever works for you.
Mes yeux, comme ceux de beaucoup d’autres, sont marrons et noirs donc ce mélange ne m’a jamais dérangé. J’adore ce look ! Combinaison noire + (fausse) fourrure marron + sneakers gazelle .
loving it

Normalement le marron et le noir ce n’est pas trop mon truc, mais là ça marche hyper bien ! (et elle est canon !)

I totally agree with Ojla nd Archana, it works because she’s a redhead and a model! If I wore the same look (1.63, let’s say not skinny, and 45 yrs old), I’d look dull, to say the least..
Please, tell us where is the coat from!!
Brown and black good…for some reason – I don’t dig Navy & black.
She has a great look. In addition to the maroon I love that she’s wearing a subtle red lipstick.

great post – simple yet very special style! love it :)
Sneakers are everywhere in Paris, paired with everything imaginable. I like this post:

Jeune française que je suis, l’association noir-marron ça ne m’a jamais choqué, mais alors une règle avec le marron : pas de kaki ni de rouge/bordeaux. C’est peut être juste un fantasme interdit dans mon petit guide de la bienséance mais c’est pas chic, on est d’accord? Je ne saurai même pas expliquer pourquoi tiens..
Sinon Brianna est absolument sublime !
Very tres cool!
Can ANYONE tell me the model of this Adidas sneakers?! I can’t find them on their site…
