When in doubt, always fall back on neutrals. Browns, grays and blacks will always be the building blocks of a functional wardrobe and can actually make or break an outfit. Done right, these colors can bring on a vibrancy of their own. This Fashionista paired a grey and white sweater with black pants and brown boots. Although some may say they don’t go together, I think they work harmoniously.
