Get Down With Chocolate Brown

A Rich Color Trending for Fall 2024

Fal's official start is three weeks away, and another color trend is in the spotlight. Chocolate Brown (think a Hershey Bar) is having its moment. People have been buzzing about deep reds like Burdundy and medium greens like Sea Foam. Chocolate Brown is a versatile color that can work well with other colors like red and green, black and white, and orange and yellow. I've always loved chocolate brown because it feels warm and chic. A monochromatic look, which is still trending for Fall, looks smooth and effortless. Chocolate Brown is one of the few colors that can be worn in abundance without appearing overdone.  Depending on your style, accessories can be minimal or maximal. I like to pair gold with Chocolate Brown. Depending on the piece of clothing, I would wear large gold hoops, bracelets, and rings. A silver watch balances out the gold.  Here are some articles about the Chocolate Brown color trend:  **REPOST*** Five ways to wear chocolate brown - fashion's hottest hue How to wear brown 101: Want to know how to wear chocolate brown and what to wear with brown clothes?

Chocolate brown is currently topping the color charts-and it's a shade with serious staying power. It's time to give in to its modern allure… Words Francine HeathFashion editor Viktorija Tomasevic Fashion 31Jan'24 In previous years, chocolate brown has made a much quieter statement than its timeless counterparts black, navy, and gray - or has only been spotlighted whenever '70s style swept the runways. On the recent runways, however, the luxuriously rich shade made a severe impact during fashion month, appearing as the star of the show everywhere from Gabriela Hearst to The Row, fast becoming the It-color among editors, influencers, and stylists alike. The buzz around brown didn't stop there, as the shade cropped up on front rows for spring/summer.' "Chocolate brown is a color I try to incorporate often," says stylist Danielle Goldberg, the brains behind some of Kaia Gerber and Ayo Edebiri's latest (and most excellent) looks. When dressing Laura Harrier for Saint Laurent's SS24 show in Paris, Goldberg ran with the elegant shade from top to toe. "Pairing different textures and fabrics together gave the color so much more depth, and I knew it would be stunning on Laura. The show felt like the perfect moment to celebrate such beautiful designs," she adds, admitting that she fell in love with the look when it hit the runway. So, what does this mean for your winter wardrobe? You could follow Harrier's lead and stick to a cocoa palette for a gorgeously refined take, but the versatile shade creates scope for countless styling possibilities. Read on for five ways to wear it now… Mix it with denim Playing with tones and textures doesn't need to feel like risky business - it can be as simple as sticking to one key color and one essential fabric, such as chocolate and denim. The Row's collections are inspired by simplicity and arrive each season filled with enduring staples in beautiful fabrics. Tailored from wool twill with sharp shoulders, its 'Myriam' blazer is the piece of dark chocolate you need to base the rest of your looks around. Layer it over Agolde's Western-inflected 'Glinda' shirt, fastening only the top snap to reveal a white tank beneath, then ground it with the brand's baggy 'Low Slung Puddle' jeans and a pair of '90s kitten-heel boots. Lastly, let Jacquemus' 'Le Bambimou' bag add softness with its squishy padding and buttery leather. Break it up with black Don't worry; we're not asking you to relinquish black to the deepest, darkest depths of your closet-an incredibly chic way to wear a brown double-breasted winter coat - such as a Wardrobe.NYC's double-breasted style - this season (and beyond) is by teaming it with inky blacks and charcoals that are just as refined and enduring. Dressing from the feet up, start with Le Monde Béryl's trending Mary Jane ballet flats made from soft suede. Add a great pair of black pants from Róhe, a new NET-A-PORTER brand that creates modern, minimalist designs using exceptional Italian fabrics, and a tonal cashmere sweater. Treat it as a neutral "Sometimes, black feels too hard; other times, the cream is too light; chocolate-brown has become the hero hue that perfectly sits in between," says NET-A-PORTER's market director Libby Page, who looks for hard-working shades when building her wardrobe necessities. Warmer neutrals such as honey will temper darker chocolates like Allude's cashmere cardigan and The Frankie Shop's 'Ripley' wide-leg pants - add Frame's blanketing camel coat. Brown will also act as a canvas for brighter SS24 tones, revealing Page: "Chocolate has become a great neutral for confident pops of color such as red and green." Dress it down This is the season to raise your leather game. Make an investment and an impression in a supple chocolate-brown trench from a brand that has perfected 'forever' designs: Yves Salomon. Its shearling-trimmed coat is built to last and has an effortlessly relaxed loose fit that harmonizes with a slouchy cotton hoodie. Dress it down further by belting it over jeans in a classic dark-blue wash that won't compete for attention - Citizens of Humanity's organic 'Devi' jeans are part of our consciously crafted NET SUSTAIN edit. Finish with glossy Chelsea boots. Focus on accessories "For anyone new to trying this shade, start with accessories," recommends Page, adding that "a chocolate-brown boot or a sumptuous tote will enrich your winter whites." Supporting responsible leather manufacturing through the Leather Working Group, Toteme's croc-effect knee-high boots from our NET SUSTAIN edit are slim, while Aquazzura's 'Desert' boots are chunkier and utilitarian. While temperatures remain chilly, cozy finishing touches matter, too - look to The Row's long gloves and Johnstons of Elgin's fringed scarf. ****REPOST***** Brown Is the New Black-5 Ultra-Chic Ways to Wear the Shade Right Now Brown is surpassing black as the neutral of the season.

But years of opting for other colors have played a significant part in the comeback of brown outfits. Designers like Miu Miu, Loewe, and The Row have continued to lean on the earthy color in their collections. Deep chocolate brown has been statement-making this season - and it makes sense. It's the perfect shade for winter. Chocolate brown meets our current penchant for sleek minimalism and conveys cozy warmth. The shade's sumptuous richness, combined with textural winter fabrics, results in an understated elegance that's hard to achieve with any other hue. Of course, chocolate brown is easy to mix with your neutral staples. It pairs beautifully with black and white, simple jewelry, and other shades of brown. Whether you want to add one piece to your wardrobe or don head-to-toe chocolate brown outfits, we have the styling ideas below.

It's a beautiful, rich hue that looks exactly how it sounds. It's a versatile color and a great neutral to add to your wardrobe for the rest of fall and winter. I've seen this color in everything from pants, sweaters, coats, handbags, and shoes. It's everywhere! I've also seen cooler tones and warmer tones, so I believe there's something for everyone. I hope this color is here to stay and becomes a fall staple the way camel and shades of burgundy have. I've included one of my most recent outfits (it's a favorite for sure!) and a few collages with other ways that you can wear chocolate. The most intimidating thing about adding a new color into your wardrobe is how to wear it, so I've done the hard part for you! There are more ways to wear chocolate, and I will experiment with more colors as the months go on. I also wanted to talk briefly about the fit of these pants. I find them very comfortable. I'm somewhat between sizes right now at Ann Taylor and LOFT, and I went with my bigger size. For them to fit in the waist, that was the right move. If you have a smaller waist to a more significant hip, I would consider the Curve Love styles (for any/all of their pants) because you'll get a better fit. If you typically get a gap in the back of your pants around the waist, you need a curvy fit to give you more room in the hips and thighs and a smaller waist. Typically, I've also seen women go down one size when they switch from regular to curvy, so that's something to keep in mind!
