The key two pairing to shades of the same color is mixing textures. In Johansson’s case, her leather coat stands in contrast to her satin pants, alleviating some of the tension between the two competing shades.
Still not convinced that neutral maxxing is A Thing? Look no further for confirmation than Julianne Moore, who stepped out the same day wearing a brown leather coat over a black T-shirt, black trousers, and pointed-toe black booties.
The chocolate syrup-colored topper adds a warmth to the look, while also complementing Moore’s woven Bottega Veneta bag, which comes in a slightly cooler brown color. Though both pieces are leather, the intrecciato texture contrasts her supple leather coat, breaking up the browns.
All this is to say, yes, you have our permission to add all the brown coats, bags, pants, and tops to your cart. It’s what Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore would have wanted.
