Shirts in shades of white, tan, beige, cream, mint green, sage, light blue, baby pink, pale yellow, light red, and light purple complement brown jeans. Even though brown is less forgiving than other colours, there are numerous techniques for stylists to avoid mismatches and avoid being bored.
Avoid certain colours and fashion trends when wearing brown pants. Avoid wearing dark colours, especially black, unless the pants have a matching pattern. The colours black and grey do not compliment one other in any way. Avoid autumnal hues such as red, orange, and yellow unless a fall colour scheme is required. Do not pair black shoes with brown pants unless the brown pants have a black pattern. Lastly, be cautious with dark green tops to prevent resembling trees.
