Brown boots are a perennial must-have for any women’s wardrobe; whether your style is laid back and casual or dressy and glamorous, there’s a boot for every style palette. Elegantly coloured,  brown boots offer several different shades, from tan, hazelnut and chocolate to burgundy and deep brown. With so many tones to choose from, it can be hard to know which colours you can mix and match with which outfits.

Here at Moda in Pelle, we are on hand to provide you with all the fashion essentials you need to coordinate your look, we’ll even let you in on our special style secrets that we guarantee will take your outfit to the next level. 

Which colours can I wear with brown boots? 

Dark brown boots complement bright and vibrant colours, in particular hues of red and orange. Experiment with a bright scarf and accessories,  be daring and pair a red dress with brown heeled ankle boots. Dark brown boots are best paired with blue jeans, and look particularly sophisticated with olive shirts, green blouses or khaki jackets. 

Tan boots match rich, autumnal hues such as plum, deep berry, opal, burgundy and mustard.  This doesn’t make them a seasonal boot; tan boots look great with bold patterns, florals and brighter tones making them a perfect match to your maxi dress in the warmer months. 

Burgundy boots make a versatile option as they can be styled with almost any colour, however, look particularly stunning paired with white, black, grey, blush and navy. Burgundy boots make the perfect partnership with deep-hued velvet as the colours complement each other and create a sleek, coordinated nighttime ensemble.

Can I wear brown boots with black? 

There was once a myth that black and brown should never be seen. This has long been a fashion rule made to be broken by all. Brown and a black can,  in fact, look very chic. Pairing brown ankle boots with black skinny jeans and a black overcoat can result in sophisticated style. While a brown leather skirt, black turtleneck and brown heeled boots provides the perfect basis for a day to night look. 

What to wear with brown knee-high boots

While footwear trends tend to come and go, knee-high boots have stood the test of time as a popular staple piece. These classic boots provide warmth during the colder months, however, they are surprisingly versatile throughout the year. Perfect for work, nights out and weekend activities, wear your brown knee-high boots with skinny jeans, a long overcoat and scarf during the chillier months. We’re loving this look in lighter hues as it manages to stand bright even on dull days.

As the weather warms up you may be tempted to store away your knee-high boots, but there is no need; there are plenty of ways you can make the most out of your knee-high boots all year long. Partnering your brown knee-high boots with a floral dress or denim mini skirt can instantly refresh your look for a new season.

If you opt for brown suede knee-high boot, there are endless styling options to cater to several occasions and style preferences. Suede boots look great paired with an oversized knitted dress and tights for an afternoon lunch out, and make a fabulous accompaniment to denim. The one thing to watch out for when it comes to styling tan suede boots is to be cautious of your colour choice, too many pale can sometimes make your outfit look washed out. 

Leather brown knee-high boots add a luxurious appeal to any outfit and there are so many ways you can play this lookout. If you’re opting for a flat knee-high brown boot then it’s all about the textures – shake things up with an animal print scarf or snakeskin handbag. Alternatively,  you can keep things really simple by partnering your boots with jeans, a plain white t-shirt and a leather jacket for a chilled relaxed vibe.

Taking the heeled option instantly adds a touch of glamour to your outfit. Again, there are so many outfit combinations available, whether you’re grabbing a coffee with the girls, out on date night or you’re heading for a big night out, these versatile booties can become your new best friend. A perfect daytime look would consist of skinny jeans, a funky blouse and long overcoat, ditch the coat and swap your handbag for a clutch and you’re night out ready. If you tend to shy away from heels as you’re cautious of heel pain, then you’ll be pleased to know there are so many heel heights and shapes – you’re guaranteed to find a pair to suit you.

What to wear with brown ankle boots 

Brown ankle boots are again an essential staple as they make a chic addition to any wardrobe. Whether it’s leather or suede, buckled or printed, heels or flats there’s a style to suit every foot.

Ankle boots with a mid-shaft make your most versatile choice as they can be styled with just about anything; skirts, dresses, leggings, cuffed jeans, cropped jeans – you name it – these boots have got you covered. Brown ankle boots, in particular, add richness to an outfit and make a refreshing change to your everyday black go-to boot. Uplift your workwear and pair with a brown tweed jacket, or show some sass with a dark green blazer and black leather pants.

If you prefer an ankle boot with a taller shaft, we would recommend tucking in your favourite skinny jean – this elevates the boot and makes the leg look ultra-slim. Brown ankle boots are the best choice when it comes to blue jeans as the colours complement perfectly. A boot with a  lower shaft, however, works untucked or cuffed. If you’re opting for a lower shaft boot, the secret is to keep your ankle shown – showing a little skin can remove any fear of your legs looking stumpy. A top tip would be to try rolling or double cuffing your jeans for a cute and casual daytime look.

Again, don’t be tempted to store away your brown ankle boots as the sun starts to shine, take your sassy floral maxi skirt and match with a sleek pair of pointed boots; minimal effort, high standards. Tan ankle boots styled with a swing dress or skirt creates a casual boho or hippy vibe that totally works for festivals, concerts and weekend adventures. If you’re not a fan of the feminine floral look, pair your brown leather ankle boots with a denim dress for a chic yet relaxed look. 

What to wear with brown animal print boots 

Animal print is everywhere, not only does it ooze sex appeal, it adds personality and glamour to an outfit. While there are many animal print boots to choose from, we’re going to focus on our favourite; leopard print. Boasting those rich earthy tones that we love brown boots for, a leopard print pattern just adds that little extra edge. 

Leopard print boots can make a sophisticated statement when teamed with a head to toe black outfit. Not only is this a flattering look, but the black highlights the traditional, intricate printing. If you’re wanting to add some colour in there then we suggest choosing an accent colour and sticking with it – bold colours such as red, yellow and orange are perfect for those added pops of colour. Red lipstick and handbag make a perfect example of this.

Just like our solid brown booties, leopard print boots look gorgeous blended with other earthy tones such as khaki, rust and olive and make the perfect accompaniment to neutrals such as caramel, coffee, sand and cream. Leopard print makes a bold and powerful statement, so it needs strong earthy solid tones to balance it out. This doesn’t mean the rest of your styling has to be bland or boring, it just means that the balance will come from a rich camel coat or sand shirt, not from a competing print.
