There’s something magical about Black women in brown. The hue, which ranges from tan to dark chocolate, is known for its rich warmth and earthy elements. Often associated with soil, trees, and animals, the color is rarely considered a favorite. Despite its relation to nature, brown represents strength, reliability, resilience, security, and comfort.
When Black women drape themselves in the shade, it creates a flawless energy that radiates warmth. And when brown garments intertwine with our golden, melanated skin, it amplifies our beauty like a gleaming star in the sky. In other words—brown skin and brown clothing go together, real bad.
I’d like to consider this a universal truth, and the theory is based on the long list of Black women who effortlessly slay the color on a daily basis. Kelly Rowland wears a myriad of colors, and she looks amazing in all of them. But when she decides to model a chocolate brown ensemble, we are reminded of why the color is fit for royalty.
