Brown suits work well with earthy tones such as beige, olive, and burgundy. Light colored shirts like white, cream, or pale blue also complement brown suits effectively.

Generally, brown suits are perceived as less formal than black suits and are best suited for business casual rather than strict formal occasions.

Accentuate a brown suit with dark brown or tan leather shoes and belts, a coordinating watch strap, and gold or bronze-toned tie clips and cufflinks for a cohesive look.
