Fashion enthusiasts are disregarding the rules—this is the newest bag color misstep they are making.
I have to admit, I'm a fan of defying the norms. I've never adhered to conventional thoughts about self-expression, especially when it comes to fashion choices. We are all familiar with outdated fashion guidelines like avoiding mixing patterns and the rule against wearing white after Labor Day. However, there's one particular rule that I believe is worth breaking. Olivia Munn exemplifies this perfectly; she was recently seen in NYC flaunting an ensemble that defied the traditional rule of mixing black and brown.
While many have heard that black and navy shouldn't be worn together, black and brown also receive their share of criticism. Nevertheless, Munn's outfit demonstrated that this rule is outdated. Her look featured a black coat, black heels, and a chic brown leather tote bag from Mulberry. Others in the fashion community concur that these colors do indeed complement each other. While scrolling through Instagram, I've noticed that black coats paired with brown bags are becoming a popular trend this season, proving that what was once considered a faux pas can look unexpectedly stylish and refined.
If you're intrigued by the concept of combining black and brown (and challenging fashion norms in general), continue scrolling to recreate Munn's look and explore similar items available for purchase.
