There are a few fashion adages that everyone can recite. Don't wear white after Labor Day. Never wear socks with sandals. Don't mix black and brown. However, I've said it before and I'll say it again: there are no rules in fashion. Alexa Chung, for instance, just proved that the aforementioned color-mixing decree is quite silly.
Attending the Fashion Awards in London tonight, Chung wore a furry coat in a sumptuous chocolate brown hue along with a beaded knee-length black dress. She completed the pitch-perfect look with two pops of red in the form of lipstick and a Miu Miu handbag. While Chung has an uncanny ability to make everything she wears look cool, I promise that you, too, will be able to pull off brown and black. If you need a little guidance, keep scrolling to shop my favorite items in both colors.
