Dark chocolate brown is the runaway color trend of the moment, providing an easy ingredient to elevate your late fall wardrobe. Rich, luscious and expensive looking (regardless of how much you actually spend for a chocolate wardrobe fix), it is available everywhere at every price point.
Here are some easy ways to embrace the season’s yummy (and sophisticated!) chocolate brown vibe. Enjoy!
#1 Unique Color Combos
Contrary to what many believe, anyone can wear chocolate brown well. The trick is pairing it with other colors that are just right for you. If muted autumn colors are flattering on you, you’ll find a natural friend in all things chocolate brown. Those who look better in cooler hues can use chocolate brown to accent brighter colors such as red, pink and cobalt blue.
#2 Brighten Your Browns Naturally
Brown also looks phenomenal with bright whites and warm creams, giving you an additional range of options uniquely suited to your coloring.
#3 Brown & Black Forever
If we had a nickel for every client who has asked if they can wear these two dark neutrals together, we’d be rich. Just do it! Brown also pairs well with navy and gray. We particularly love gray pinstripes woven into brown wool jackets, pants, skirts, vests and the like this time of year.
#4 Leather & Suede
Chocolate brown makes these two fall weather favorites come alive! Is there anything more luscious than soft brown leather or more practical than brown suede?
#5 Brown Accents
Brown shoes, boots, bags and belts aren’t the only brown accessories to consider. Watch bands, beads and other interesting textures such as feathers, velvet and lace all wear brown well, adding a big punch of visual interest to your outfits. And, yes, both silver and gold accessories work equally well with dark brown.
#6 Chocolate Brown Athleisurewear Please!
Yes, it’s a thing! If you are looking for some style inspiration for this area of your wardrobe, chocolate brown may be it!
#7 Wrap Yourself in Luxury
Finally, chase the chill that is upon us in many areas by wrapping yourself in brown coats, wraps, scarfs, gloves, hats and the like. Three cheers for chocolate brown outerwear. Grab it when you see it!
