This is the first time Wardrobe Builder has been a COLOR.  But color is the basis of how I build a wardrobe and this Fall’s merchandise offered much inspiration in this rich chocolate.  Plus, I think fashion overplays its hand with black quite a bit.  It is the default color and often the only option.

However in color theory, brown is actually flattering to all, not black.  So if you find yourself looking to expand your wardrobe with neutral items that will enhance your face and stand the test of time – consider adding some brown hues – natural tans, cocoa, latte, cinnamon, rose brown, to dark chocolates are wonderful additions that will easily pair with black, blues, creams, and whites.
