what goes with chocolate and plum?

[poppadum]

I have foolishly bought a pair of dark chocolate linen trousers and a plum skirt, and now find that they don't go with anything in my wardrobe. I don't wear white or beige ( can't keep them clean). Are there any other colours that go with chocolate and plum? Black would go with the plum skirt, I suppose?

olive green would go with both i think...maybe

assume you're not wearing them together?!

turquoise/pale blue is good with chocolate brown

not really a plum person, but i suppose pale grey or pink would go? wouldn't put black with the plum - the plum would be too dark to give enough of a contrast imo.

and beige would go with the chocolate brown trews, more 'sensible' than pale blue - depends what you're like about wearing colours i suppose

Maybe a cream linen jacket?

With the trousers you could put tan, burnt orange, red, coral, olive green, mustard/golden yellow or teal. I have several brown trousers!

I'm less good on plum - yes to olive green, prob black

orange, dusky pink, beige, turquoise with chocolate. I wear a lot of chocolate brown.
green with plum, not sure what else.

burnt orange defo with the choclate brown, you can get some lovely accessories

Possibly the right dusky pink with the plum. Nothing too peach coloured, though.

Pudding!!

Sorry, you can tell what's on my mind!

I have a plum wrap top that I wear with slate greys :)

And chocolate hmm I really only tend to wear chocolate with beige/camel although again slate grey would probably be quite nice!!

I'm not dull honest.

Oooh I so want something in burnt orange!

try zara. I got tops in turquoise and orange there.

Peacocks currently heaving with brown/tan/orange colour scheme - also a rather cool green shirt with slightly hawaiian brown flowers that'd look ace with the brown trousers.
In fact I'm going back tomorrow to get it to wear with mine!

I have a gorgeous plum skirt, well I've had it for 4 years and worn it once.
It had a very fine sequin detail at the top but with different colours. In the summer I bought a turqouise coloured top and that went really well with it I thought.

Oh bum, din't notice this was a style thread... have a punnet of rather soft plums in the fridge and thought this may be a chance to finda good recipe to use them up .

mustard

Ooh, thanks everyone. would never have thought of trying the turquoise with chocolate, but it does look good. will try orange.
the plum skirt may have to go back!

I wear pink with chocolate as well as blue
