Anyone else love brown clothes but can't find them anywhere?

[highlandcoo]

I have auburn hair, fair skin and freckles. Much as I think black looks great on other people it doesn't really suit me. I look ten times better in brown and a few years back I could find cords, cashmere jumpers and cardigans etc quite easily.

This year - and last year - there seems to be none of it around at all Anyone else feel the same and maybe has had more luck than me?

Benetton also often have brown (I have a chocolate brown wool sweater from there)

Chocolate brown is way more flattering than black. On lots of people.
The end.
(I'm afraid I have no suggestions though, I haven't seen it at all in the shops recently.)

Kettle well sell clothes by colour - you'll find lots of brown

Just to say that I'm the same OP - red hair, brown eyes, fair skin - I LIVE in brown, and actually don't own any black. I agree that it's been more difficult recently. What are you after? Woolovers are really good and have most styles in brown...

Don't get me started on finding brown or black/brown mascara (I look like an Eastenders 1980s landlady in black)... I buy mine from ebay or Amazon now...

ETA: This time of year I wear brown boots with brown tights a lot - then have toning skirts and tops. I buy Falke tights from mytights.co.uk

Peruvian Connection always have some nice brownish jumpers and things. Sale on at the mo. Also Banana Republic.

I'm blonde with the same colouring . I can't wear black either . However brown is a horrible colour .. I wear a lot of blue as I have blue eyes . Would that work?

I'm sure I have seen caramel brown jumpers and brown cords around this season though .

I like brown too

I'm also blonde with blue eyes and people often tell me I would look good in blue but I don't (apart from teal and sometimes, indigo). Weird isn't it? Anyway back to brown: my favourite shade is a really bitter chocolate - almost black but much more forgiving. If anyone has seen that recently, please shout!

I was raised to wear brown, and it remains my favourite colour. I can walk around a whole shop without really seeing the stuff until I get to the brown things, and my heart just says "Here's the clothes here!" They just look like clothes to me in a way that coloured things don't. Sad to hear about this season's lack of brown.

Have made this very point on the Autumn thread.
Trinnny and Susannah were big fans of brown on the early noughties.
I love green too,leafy greens especially.
Jigsaw and Toast good fir these sometimes,plus White Stuff and Fat Face if you like their style.
Boden used to have more chocolate and greens than they do now.

knit Max Factor Masterpiece Max comes in black/brown. I often pick it up by mistake as the packaging is exactly the same as the black.

Another fan of brown here - definitely looks better than black on me.

I've always wanted a plain brown shift dress

Sainsbury's is full of brown cords at the moment.

Kew might be an option.

Kew doesn't exist anymore does it?

Oh, I love brown- much more flattering than black. I had lovely knitted dress fron Uniqlo that I loved. Unfortunately, so did the moths

I look great in brown, I have light golden blond hair, dark green eyes, warm skin and freckles. Brown complements all this. I use ebay a lot.

Uniqlo have some brown long-sleeved T-shirt type things in brown, and a few other tops.

I'm with you, OP: brown is easily my best colour, but it's not easy to find.

Spotted a few pairs of brown trousers in Mango today.....

If money's no object head to Max Mara

Some great ideas here .. thank you !!

I'd forgotten about kettlewell - thanks for reminding me charitygirl Unfortunately at the moment they are out of most things in Small in chocolate brown, but worth remembering for the future.

knitknack thank you SO much for the advice about Woolovers. I've just ordered a cardigan and a crew-neck jumper in chocolate brown .. having trailed around London searching for these basics for weeks .. fantastic!

Will investigate Peruvian Connection and other recommendations asap.
Thanks to ADH and others for great advice.

There quite a few of us brown-lovers around I think the manufacturers should be paying us more attention.

"I can't imagine anyone looking good in brown tbh."

On warm-toned people it is one of the best colours, and brown comes in many shades. Don't think of school uniforms!
