Chocolate brown is the neutral everyone’s reaching for this year. And right now—fall, with quiet luxury still ruling fashion—we’ve entered peak chocolate season.
I’ll always love black as my go-to neutral, but brown brings a refined warmth that elevates any look. Think rich suede jackets, velvety dresses, and soft knits that feel both modern and timeless.
