I’m sure you’ve heard it said before - “black and brown don’t go together.”


Here, I’ve come to prove that statement wrong and show you that they do, in fact, go together. Here's a stylish black and brown outfit idea for you.

For the base, I’ve gone for a pair of black faux leather pants and a black sweater with button detailing on the sleeves.


When wearing two pieces in the same color, it’s nice to opt for different materials to give the look a bit of dimension.


Also, because the pants have a shiny finish and the sweater doesn't, the tone of the black looks different which also helps to stop the monochrome base from looking bland.

For footwear, I’ve gone for a pair of high, pointed-toe brown faux leather boots.


For outerwear, I’m wearing a beige blazer. Because black and brown are neutral colors, you can really go for any shades and they will all work together. 


I really like how the oversized blazer is juxtaposed against the tighter fit of the sweater and the pants. I’ve rolled the sleeves of the blazer up so that the sweater pops out, which is a stylish touch.


The only thing I’m not sure about is whether the faux leather on top of faux leather that I have going on at the bottom is a bit too much.
