    Black or brown. Enable me.

    I want new boots and I've found some I love. The problem is I can't make up my mind about the colour.
    Black or brown?

    Usually I buy black but for some reason this time I'm really tempted by the brown.

    I can't buy a pair of each.

    Which will you wear more? Which will go with more of your clothes?...But despite that, which do you like the most?! I think you should get the pair you like the most. No matter if they "go" with your clothes, and really I guess brown and black both go with just about everything anyway!

    Do you already have black boots? If yes I would go with brown.

    If not, are they dressy or causal? Black works better for dressy IMO, both work well with casual. What colour goes best with the tones/colours in you current wardrobe? Do you have a bag to go with the brown boots or will that mean another purchase?

    I would go brown. Brown boots are so lovely. You can see the detail of them better and brown still goes with almost everything.

    Brown... is it dark brown or light brown? Either way, brown.

    I'm leaning towards the brown but would you believe that except for riding boots I have never owned a pair of brown boots in my life It's a big leap outside my comfort zone and they cost a fortune and I will have to wear them until they wear out to justify the price.

    That's the brown. The black has silver embellishments.

    The brown is a gorgeous rich colour and has great look with the variations etc.
    I didn't see the black, but i'd be worried that the silver embellishments would look like bling. And black would be more of an all over one colour, without the richness of the brown.

    I've just pulled the trigger on the brown because they're the colour I prefer but that said I wouldn't want anyone operating under any misconceptions about me not being tacky or not liking bling
