Today we will talk about the discreet and noble shade of truffle. In this material we will tell you how to choose the right combination in clothes with a truffle shade. At the end of the article you will find photos with examples of how and with what accessories to wear things of this expensive shade.
History of the truffle
The first mention of cooked truffles dates back to the 1700s BC. The inhabitants of Ancient Babylon were the first to eat it. And since then, because of its narcotic aroma and rarity, the truffle was considered no less than the food of the Gods: it was used as an aphrodisiac by the thunderer Zeus himself. In the Middle Ages, truffles were an ingredient in French cuisine. In the 18th century, thanks to French chefs in Italian Piedmont, the white truffle was rediscovered, which became very popular among the nobility and entered Piedmontese cuisine. In Italy, the truffle was so appreciated that hunting for it for a long time was the main entertainment for nobles and ambassadors.
Truffle color
Like many colors with poetic names, the truffle shade has little in common with the mushroom, which has more than 60 subspecies, with a fairly wide range of colors depending on the climatic conditions where it grew. By the way, if we ignore shades and halftones, truffles come in white and black colors. The name of the same gray-brown shade with a swamp undertone rather creates an image of something elite and affordable to a few, rather than reflecting the real appearance of a scarce product. Designers and retailers love this color for its value and versatility. Perhaps truffle is one of the few shades that really suits everyone. This noble and discreet color began to gain popularity during the heyday of minimalism and mid-century modern in the 1970s. Before this, preference was given to bright colors and contrasting combinations. Unlike other shades, truffle has rather become a hymn to that very “discreet luxury”.

Truffle-colored materials are truly universal and suitable for literally any event: it could be a stylish office suit for everyday meetings, a leather suit for hiking with friends and dates, a flowy silk dress for walking on warm summer evenings, a versatile wrap coat or a leather raincoat. Thanks to the versatility of truffle color, it can be worn by both fashion-conscious women and conservative men.
Contrary to popular belief, this expensive color can not raise the price of every wardrobe item. The fact is that the presentable appearance of the shade largely depends on the fabric or texture of the skin.If you want to create an “expensive look”, you should not skimp on the quality of the material; it is better to give preference to a more expensive material (wool, cashmere or silk) than to wear something made of low-quality cotton fabric that will not survive the first wash.
Who is the color truffle suitable for?
The truffle shade is considered one of the universal: when served correctly, it suits almost all types. But the truffle shade will look especially good on the Autumn color type.

Due to the fact that this color is considered quite urban, photographers like to use it in photo shoots for office and relaxed urban looks, so that the model seems to blend into the urban environment.
What to wear with truffle-colored items
Due to the fact that the truffle shade is considered one of the basic ones, many things can be combined with it. The basic rule is to choose the same cold tone. Truffle goes well with dark brown, burgundy, dark blue, swamp green, muted blue-gray, discreet orange and white.
What accessories go best with truffle shades?
Since the truffle color claims to be elitist, gold-colored accessories are most often selected for it. This is not a strict rule, but jewelry with cool shades of gold, brass and even tombac emphasize the noble origin of the color.
