Introducing browns into a grey/black wardrobe.

My whole wardrobe is in the black/grey/blue palette.
Dh bought me a beautiful bronzey ring for Xmas. So I have now got a silky skin coloured top and a chiffony browney top that go nicely with it.
But can I wear with black leggings or jeans or should I try and go all brown ie maybe beige combats or the like?
Any links?
I have tan cowboy ish full length boots or full length brown suede boots or loads of black biker y boots. Or of course could be persuaded to buy new brown boots if needs be.

Ive started wearing more brown recently too after getting my colours done. Id avoid going "all browns/beiges" I think it looks a bit "meh" . Ive discovered warm bronze/brown/tan looks amazing with navy, I got a pair of navy skinnies from Next for £22 and they look great with with brown and tan boots. Also id recommend wearing an accent colour, maybe get a scarf or two, Im loving a warm tomato red scarf with my tan jacket. Or a bright blue scarf also looks great with the brown shades

Hmm I wonder what my colours are going to be Gilly. think I might go the 1st week the schools are back.
I don't think tomato red will be my colour though. maybe mink or bronze.
have you got a link for the navy skinnies? Or are they just dark blue skinny jeans?
Do your brown tops match the brown boots or are they diff shades?

I wouldnt go for mink or bronze scarf, the idea is to get a contrasting colour so it doesnt look too monochrome and blah! I think you should def get your colours done before you buy anything, youve been thinking about it for a while, go for it!

Jeans here

I dont match the tops to my boots exactly, I tend to get print tops , have a nice brown one with navy horse print on it (from Next) or a tan top with navy stars, that kind of thing. I think print keeps it interesting.
