Emily Ratajkowski Wore the Shoe Color People Used to Never Wear With Black Pants
Folks, I'm happy to report that most of the color-pairing "rules" we used to have are out the window. We're in the "anything goes" era of fashion, and Emily Ratajkowski is a perfect example of that—especially since she defied an age-old color rule with her outfit last week.
For a recent night out in NYC, Ratajkowski paired a fitted white top with flared black pants and brown leather boots. In the past, wearing brown shoes with black pants would've been considered a color-clashing faux pas, but now, it's safe to say that wearing black with brown (and black with navy while we're at it) is perfectly acceptable and even cool. Just look at Ratajkowski if you need any more convincing. Keep scrolling to do just that and shop brown shoes I'd wear with black pants in a heartbeat. (Be sure to check out our new Intelligent Shopping Assistant, ISA, to find your next pair of black pants.)
