Don't be afraid of brown! It's a bit of an odd colour I think. For instance, no-one would get really excited if you said they suited it, and some tones are really not that appealingly named (sludge, mud...). That said, it's a good staple, I promise!
The richness of the brown in question is important, a dull beige isn't any better than the soggy rich tea biscuit it resembles. Chocolate, as I have labeled my skirt, tobacco, tan, coffee, sienna and burnt umber all sound quite nice to me. I feel that rich, dark browns are a more casual alternative to black, and they all look great with copper and gold metallics!
Moreover, earthy tones don't have to be hippy, it's all about the cut and the fabric. Admittedly, my skit looks quite hippy-esque, but if it was a thicker cotton or corduroy A-line, it would look nicely 60s, rather than swirly 70s.
