Many people think brown is just plain boring, but nothing could be further from the truth this fashion season. In fact, for those who are more contemporary, brown is the new black. Brown is popping up in casual clothes, work attire and formal wear. Plus, the color is so popular that you are even seeing it in house wares, such as accent pillows, curtains, towels, tablecloths, bedding and lamps.

Now, you may be asking, brown in weddings? Well, it's true. Brown is such a haute color that many wedding gowns this season are picking up brown as an accent color in the bodice. Adding brown to the groom's attire is an excellent way to complement the bride's dress and the wedding colors. Popular wedding combination colors are brown and pink, brown and tiffany blue, and brown and ivory.
