Sofia Richie Just Broke This Major Fashion “Rule” In the Most Elegant Way

Stepping out over the weekend, Sofia Richie Grainge dispelled what some might call a long-running fashion “sin” whilst tapping into some rising trends in the process.

Styling an elegant tonal look, Richie Grainge opted for a warm brown coat in a thick wool fabric which she wore with brown leather trousers in a slightly deeper shade. Whilst a tonal pairing won’t cause alarm, it was the choice of accessories that will could evoke some tutting from particular circles (not ones we’d like to be a part of!). Layering her brown outfit with black accessories Richie Grainge rejected the age-old fashion rule of wearing black and brown together, proving that these two neutral shades do in fact compliment one another.

The dated fashion rule forbids the pairings of these two dark shades, but neglects to understand that this overlooked pairing is an elegant base for winter styling. Ideal for layering with light creams or golds, the two colours work together to bring depth and warmth to an outfit, that can be layered with lighter colours for extra dimension.

On Sofia Richie Grainge: The Row Polli Double-Breasted Wool and Cashmere-Blend Coat (£1885), Bottega Veneta Medium Solstice Shoulder Bag (£3140). Styling the colour pairing, Richie Grainge opted for a short peacoat from The Row to pair with her brown leather trousers. The chocolate-brown colour trend has been on the rise this season, for its expensive looking and easy-to style qualities. Completing her weekend outfit, the style icon opted for black kitten heel boots, a black Solstice Shoulder Bag from Bottega Veneta and large gold earrings.

When in doubt, gold hoops are always a good idea.
