Over the past year, fashion has seen the steady rise of a new favourite tone, one that exudes sophistication with its subtle, sumptuous allure. That hue is chocolate brown, and its lasting impact makes a clear statement: that it’s here to stay. From runways to your favourite influencers, chocolate brown is pivotal to contemporary style — just as versatile as black, beige and grey, only elevated with a sense of quiet luxury.

With that in mind, we’re delving into the different ways to wear this much-loved tone, breaking down colour pairings, textures and the various ways it can enrich your day-to-day looks.

From runways to your favourite influencers, chocolate brown is pivotal to contemporary style — just as versatile as black, beige and grey, only elevated with a sense of quiet luxury.

The beauty of chocolate brown lies in its versatility — a warm, rich tone that pairs effortlessly with various different colours. Keep the colour palette muted by pairing with other neutral hues, such as black, white and beige, bringing a classic and refined touch to your looks. Or, if you lean towards something a little more vibrant, try contrasting chocolate brown with brighter tones, such as sky blue, pistachio green or reds.

Chocolate brown also works beautifully with a myriad of textures, lending itself perfectly to suede, leather, wool and even satin. Consider mixing these more enriched fabrics with smoother ones, creating depth and textural interest to your looks. Pair one of our cashmere jumpers in a soft, neutral tone with our brown Leather A-Line Skirt, for instance, or our Clean Bonded Leather Jacket with mid-wash denim jeans, creating subtle contrast between colours and textures. Chocolate brown accessories provide the perfect finishing touch to your looks, too, like our Leandra Suede Tote Bag or much-loved Bibi in leather, bringing a subtle touch of texture to outfits.

Days at the Office

For days at the office, chocolate brown brings effortless sophistication to your looks, especially when it’s our Cosima Double Face Wool Coat. Layer it over one of our premium cashmere knits for chilly commutes, and pair with our crepe trousers or side stripe tailored trousers for a laid-back yet polished look. Complete with our Chocolate Leandra Suede Tote Bag for a tonal look, the perfect companion for workday outfits.

Refined Casual

The versatility of chocolate brown lies in its ability to work seamlessly with both high and low looks. For refined yet casual outfits, opt for our striped cotton jersey in brown and white, paired effortlessly with our Suede A Line Skirt, chocolate Leandra Suede Tote and Clean Ballet Pumps.

Weekends in the City

For weekends spent in the city, opt for statement outerwear like our Chocolate Suede Trench, whether layered over one of our sumptuous cashmere knits and paired with your favourite dark wash denim, or elevated with a mini skirt and knee-high boots for more refined looks.

Evening Elevation

Chocolate brown works perfectly for elevated evening looks, its warm, luxurious tone pairing effortlessly with more sophisticated outfits. Case in point is our Ruched Detail Midi Dress, with its timeless bodycon silhouette, ruched side detailing and rich chocolate brown hue. Pair with tonal, knee-high boots — like our Chocolate Hera Suede style — and finish with a leather or suede bag for a polished, elegant evening look.
