New Yorkers are known to love the color black, and while there’s no doubt that I do, I’ve always preferred brown over black. To be completely honest, I feel that I don’t own enough black clothes (or shoes). Brown on the other hand, there’s no shortage in my closet. You’ll probably find every shade of brown and I absolutely adore pairing different shades and textures of one color family.
PS: Although the gloves look black in the pictures above, they’re actually a chocolate brown.

Love your outfit – my favorite shot is with the red Balenciaga – that red adds just enough POP to make your outfit even more outstanding!

You have such great style. Could I ask you a question? Do you work in the fashion industry because if not you should be a stylist because you inspire a lot of blogges.

browns and camels and mochas have been everywhere this autumn, splashed across editorials and blogs alike; perhaps it is the new "black" for new york.
i love infusing some reds and yellows with brown, as you have done, with some accessory accents. cobalt blue can work wonders too!

I absolutely love this outfit – and much prefer brown as well. There are so many beautiful shades, and even though I just moved to Paris, I am already sick of black – it is everywhere! Parisians shy away from the bright and rich colors that I am used to seeing in California.

Gorgeous as usual, Helena, and I think brown looks amazing on you. It is more refined and unusual and you pull it off beautifully. I got those pants in dark brown a few weeks ago and totally didn't see them in this camel colour that you have on – may have to check back for those!
Have a great day!

That trench is absolutely gorgeous, I also love brown tones better than black. I think black is a little more harsh for daytime and more edgy, but brown it can go from daytime to nighttime. I would love it if you checked out my blog, I have interesting fashion posts.
