If anyone can convince me to ditch one of fashion’s longest-standing “rules”, it’s Victoria Beckham. Catching my attention this week, Victoria stepped out in New York wearing a winter colour combination that fashion people have long deemed a no-no. For the occasion, she opted for a slightly relaxed chocolate-brown suit, styling it with a black lace-trim camisole for an uncomplicated but entirely elegant look.

Long labelled a fashion faux pas, black and chocolate brown have consistently appeared on lists of colour combinations to avoid. In reality, though, I’ve always found that pairing these two rich, dark shades brings a depth to an outfit that few other combinations can quite replicate.

By introducing black through the delicate lace-trimmed camisole, she broke up the chocolate-brown tailoring without compromising the look’s rich, tonal feel. True to form, she kept the rest of her styling pared-back, letting the combination do the talking rather than relying on excess jewellery or embellishment.

If this proves anything, it’s that some fashion rules are worth breaking. And if Victoria Beckham is anything to go by, black and chocolate brown might just be one of the chicest combinations to try this season. Read on to shop my favourite black and brown pieces available now.
