Full saturation

Warm, rich and effortlessly sophisticated, chocolate brown is a shade that works for every occasion – from the office to evenings out – and suits every skin tone. One of the easiest ways to embrace the trend? Colour-drenching your look from head to toe.

Start with a statement piece, like this faux fur jacket with buckle details at the cuffs, and layer a matching chocolate brown dress underneath. Add heeled boots in the same tone to elongate the silhouette and keep the monochrome effect seamless. The result is an elevated, cohesive outfit that feels modern, luxe and completely on trend.

Lead with layers

Chocolate brown lends itself to luxe layering. For an everyday statement, anchor your look with this suedette aviator jacket in dark chocolate, trimmed in cream faux shearling. The contrast of rich brown and soft ivory instantly elevates even the simplest base layers.

If you’re dressing for crisp mornings, try a plush chocolate faux fur coat to add drama and softness in one easy step. Prefer something sleeker? A buttery soft leather jacket in deep cocoa offers polish and versatility, working just as well over tailored trousers as it does with weekend denim. And for the coldest days, a chocolate-brown puffer delivers that cosy, cloud-like comfort without sacrificing style.

The knit fix

Knitwear is the easiest way to weave chocolate brown into your wardrobe, bringing softness, warmth and an instant sense of polish. This season’s hero piece is Per Una's pointelle bomber-style cardigan, crafted with a touch of wool for extra cosiness. Its double-ended zip design gives it a sporty, modern twist, making it just as suitable for relaxed weekends as it is for smart-casual days.

Let the intricate pointelle texture take centre stage by pairing it with classic blue jeans. The contrast between cool denim and warm chocolate brown feels effortlessly fresh. Finish the look with brown loafers to echo the palette and add a refined, tonal touch.

Double duty

Chocolate brown is one of those rare shades that moves effortlessly from day to night, simply by switching up the textures and silhouettes. Start with a lace skirt in deep chocolate, the intricate detailing brings a touch of romance while still feeling modern and wearable.

By day, keep things cosy with a faux fur jacket, letting the contrasting textures do the work. As evening falls, add a pair of tall heeled boots in a matching tone to sharpen the silhouette and give the outfit a sophisticated edge. Whether you’re heading to a late lunch or straight out for dinner plans, the combination of lace, faux fur and rich brown hues creates a look that’s simultaneously glamorous and grounded.

Elevated extras

Accessories are the quickest way to tap into the chocolate-brown trend, adding intention and a cohesive finish to any outfit. A great place to start is with brown fishnet tights, they add texture and depth whilst grounding an outfit in rich, earthy tones.

For everyday structure, choose a sleek faux leather tote bag with a zipped purse inside. The internal pouch keeps everything from keys to lip balm neatly contained, while the clean shape adds instant refinement to both casual and polished outfits. To bring in a touch of texture, finish with a faux-fur bucket hat. Playful yet luxe, it softens sharper silhouettes and ties the whole palette together.
