Someone once said that brown and black do not mix. Personally I think that\’s an old fashion rule… brown and black do mix well together.
My favorite ways for mixing brown and black
• Go lighter. It\’s easy to pull off a black and brown outfit when you utilize shades of nude, taupe or camel. This creates a gorgeous contrast.
• Pair black tights with brown boots for a simple and gorgeous look.
• Chocolate and black look great together when you pair a chocolate jacket with a black top or dress.
What are your tips for a black and brown outfit?

I've heard it is okay to wear black top with brown bottoms but you can't wear a brown top with black bottoms. I think going lighter is an exception to the rule. You posted some great options!
