Some consider the brown to be old-fashioned and boring, associating it with elder generations. In my opinion, brown is a very versatile color and can bring fresh and timeless look. All depends on the clothing cut and how it is combined. Especially, the suit, is a very nice way to do so.
For me one of the greatest finds this winter was an ulster coat.
There are different opinions if you should or should not wear white / light pants in autumn / winter season. Me personally, I am in favor to wear them all year round and would strongly encourage to do so.
