Rosie Huntington-Whiteley arrived at Nice Airport in France the other day wearing an outfit that breaks one of fashion’s foremost rules.

Rosie wore black and brown. She dared to pair a camel-colored sweater with black cropped pants and, amazingly, still looked fabulous with a capital F.

Rosie completed her Nice Airport outfit with even more brown accessories, including a bone-hued Maison Michel “Andre” trilby hat, a camel Balmain x Aurelie Bidermann “Pierre” bag, and tan Aperlai slingback pumps.

Rosie’s fashion-rule-breaking pants are the “Ivo” corduroy pants from one of her favorite labels, Étoile Isabel Marant.

Their semi-faded black color makes these pants go so well with brown. They’ve got a grayish tone rather than ‘black black,’ making them easier to pair with other neutrals.
