Oprah Winfrey's striped brown shirt and mocha trousers prove that darker, richer neutrals work for summer too
We're eager to copy this elevated outfit formula
Oprah Winfrey takes the trending shade mocha mousse into the warmer months with her recent combination of a brown and white striped button-up tucked into high-waisted trousers in the warm shade.
If you're looking for smart-casual outfit ideas, you simply can't go wrong with a crisp cotton or poplin blouse tucked into tailored trousers. However, for this time of year, it's tricky to know what colours to lean into, which is why Oprah's warm mocha mousse combination feels so inviting.
Oprah was captured in the polished outfit discussing a book recommendation called Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz, and says, “So I came across this book, because many of you know I’ve had 21 dogs”.
