Sandy Brown – A Stylish Winter Wardrobe Color for Men in 2013

Men’s Winter Wardrobe Colors for 2013: Sandy Brown

Brown is one of the most commonly-worn colors in men’s fashion, and is especially common when worn throughout the winter. One of the main issues here, though, is that many of the browns people wear during the winter are drab and unattractive; something that everyone should avoid whenever possible. Because this is such a problem, it’s important to look towards browns of other shades that can be utilized, such as sandy brown. Be sure to take the following tips into consideration if you’re looking to incorporate sandy brown into your current look.

A great look for the later part of this year’s winter season! The sandy-brown on the jacket and the light blue on the tie are signs that spring is in fact near, while the heavier wool fabrics keep the look in line with the season.

How It’s Different
Sandy brown differs quite a bit from the run-of-the-mill browns that people often wear during the winter. For one, it is usually more in-line with tan than anything else, which gives it a lighter feel than other browns. It still remains earthy, however, perhaps even more so than darker browns. As a result, it happens to be very versatile and can be worn in practically any type of ensemble aside from black tie.

Common Applications
Sandy brown often pops up in chinos and other types of dress pants. In this way, it can be viewed as being a darker shade of khaki. Because the color is relatively neutral, it can also be found in dress shoes, sweaters and even suit coats. Sandy brown has a warmth to it that isn’t often seen in other shades of brown, so it’s ideal for anyone who wants to avoid ensembles that might come off as being somewhat cold in appearance.

Tired of being confined to drab colored winter suits? Then a sandy-brown piece like the 3-piece suit featured here, will be the needed breath of fresh air. We especially approve of the blue check pattern on the shirt as well as the thick wool socks in ensemble coordinating colors.

Putting Together an Ensemble
A sandy brown sports coat can be perfect for those who are looking to inject a semi-casual slant into their business attire, and can be paired with many different ensemble elements. If you’re sticking with a navy suit, you may still want to think about incorporating the color into your dress shoes or other accessories. The color also looks fantastic when paired with dark-washed designer jeans, so you may wish to look towards sweaters. One of the best ways to utilize the color is with accessories; sandy brown scarves and hats are ideal. You can even look for belts, wallets and other leather pieces that are lighter in shade to complement these ensemble elements.
