A sea of seventies brown!

AGAA4 I absolutely detested the brown knickers which were compulsory, the PE mistress and our form mistress often done a spot check to see if we were wearing them and not normal pants 🙀

My heart sank when I walked into M&S yesterday to be greeted with a sea of brown and black clothing. Similar in other clothing shops. I find brown such a depressing colour after all the pretty summer clothes.

Being a natural redhead (although somewhat faded now), I find that brown suits me and isn't as harsh as black. I have a summer dress which is a mixture of browns and creams. I also like khaki. However, I have no wish to revisit the 70's so I'll be avoiding tank tops and flares.

There are usually a lot of pastels around at this time of year and they don't suit me at all, I feel washed out in them.

I love brown in all shades and the autumn colours. For years it’s been almost impossible to get, with almost everything ubiquitous black.

So I shall have a field day (even though I may not get much use out of them and most of them will probably go to the Charity shop😬)

Then it can go back to black for the next twenty years.

I agree. Very depressing. I walked in to M&S to a sea of nasty shades of brown with peculiar greens and orange coloured stuff too.

I won't be wearing brown. My school uniform was brown too and I hated the brown knickers.
I don't like any of those colours Casdon mentioned. At least I will save some money.

My school uniform was brown - I think I suited it with my dark hair. However, I swore never to wear brown again and I’ve stuck to that pledge! In the ‘90s, by which time I was going grey, I had my colours done and brown was definitely a no-no for me, as were tan (hate it) and beige. I do like a bit of green though, so I’m sure I’ll find something to add to my wardrobe, maybe just gloves or a scarf.

I've bought some some lovely brown and beige cotton tops from lidl this year

My grammar school uniform was brown, I try to avoid it nowadays at all costs.
