    just a little quick question to settle a debate me and a few other of my similarly effeminate friends are having. I haven't the slightest idea if it does or doesn't

    Depends on ensemble tbh, can look rank or really smart. What choo talkin' about Willis?

    The only rule that is hard and fast about this [that I know of] is that your belt colour should match your shoe colour.

    depends on the shade of brown but to be safe... yes they clash

    Brown shoes only goes with blue jeans - my motto :p

    usually yes but sometimes it can look pretty cool ... rarely but it can

    Traditionally yes they do clash but not always the case now....i'll wear an entire black outfit then a brown leather bag to clash with it...it actually looks cool

    Brown and black-sometimes getawayable
    Black and navy-unforgivable

    It all depends. I'd never say never!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭snickerpuss


    As a general rule yes, black and navy is worse though.

    It depends on what you are wearing. Shoes wise yes black shows with brown trousers clash and visa versa. Ive often worn a brown top though and black pants and looks fine. I wear a beige belt and it breaks it up. :)

    It clashes far more often than it'll look good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 213 ✭✭Pjays


    Don't wear them together! they look horrible. black and brown were never meant to be. when looking at what colours to wear together always think of the colours you see in nature. they are a good guide apart from the colour wheel.

    Brown and black do go. It just depends on what shades of each? A strong black, with a rich brown go fine...


    Goes well here!

    I used to wear a brown top with black combats before they wore out, I think it looked good
    something like brown trousers black shoes or vice versa probably wouldn't work though I think...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Some of them work when mixed with other colours, I have tights which are brown, black, purple and dark red and the black goes fine with the brown, doesn't class at all if I wear a brown or black skirt with them.

    Now I've been told Blue and Green clash but I think they can look lovely together.

    Dont forget to consider that there are two blacks, a blue based black and a brown based black.

    Depends on what you're wearin I think


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭She-Ra


    imo you can wear whatever you like so long as you have the confidence and style to pull it off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,261 ✭✭✭rsta


    as a lot of previous posters said i also think it depends.

    depends on the type of colour brown too. ive seen a gorge black dress with a brown belt but couldnt get a pic..

    here is a pic of stylish sienna wit brown and black together
