4 CHIC WAYS TO WEAR FALL’S HOTTEST COLOR TREND: CHOCOLATE BROWN

Over 40 fashion blogger from Dallas showcasing how to wear chocolate brown in 4 chic looks.

Chocolate brown is the new black ladies and I have to say, I’m here for it!  How about you?  Now don’t get me wrong I love wearing black and I still will but wearing rich chocolate brown shades is a bit softer on the skin and even has a more youthful vibe than black.  We’ve been seeing this gorgeous shade of brown all over the runways in NYC and on tons of mega influencers and celebrities so it’s safe to say this fall color trend is here to stay.

I love pairing this stunning color with lighter shades of brown such as camel to create looks that are not only on trend but also very classy and expensive looking.  Wearing chocolate brown with black is another chic way to showcase the color of the season: CHOCOLATE BROWN!  So if you’re wondering how to wear this fabulous color trend this season then keep scrolling because these 4 fall looks are guaranteed to give you some serious fall outfit inspiration!

SHOP LOOK 1:

CHOCOLATE BROWN FAUX FUR JACKET:

The first option for how to wear chocolate brown is this gorgeous faux fur jacket from Avec Les Filles. I love the cropped length combined with the relaxed fit giving it an effortlessly chic vibe. I wear an XS and it fits true to size.

CAMEL BODYSUIT:

Neutral shades make a great base and this nude bodysuit by Good American is one of my most worn pieces! I love the wide straps and the updated square neckline gives it a modern twist. I’m wearing an XS in this essential wardrobe staple.

AGOLDE RILEY'S

These are one of the absolute MUST-HAVE pairs of denim in my closet and that’s simply because they are incredibly versatile! These are the one pair of jeans I own that you can wear with boots, sneakers, AND heels! They come in multiple washes but this is a fantastic medium wash that will easily complete any of your fall looks. I wear a size 24 and they fit true to size.

CAMEL VERONICA BEARD BOOTIES:

Fall is boot season and believe me when I say I am HERE for it! I own these Veronica Beard booties in multiple shades but this camel shade and the black shade are definitely my most worn pairs. This year they released a 70mm heel, which is so comfortable you can wear them all day or night with no issues.

CHOCOLATE BROWN FAUX LEATHER BODYSUIT:

Faux leather is one of the hottest trends for Fall 2023 and this faux leather bodysuit from Express is a chic & affordable way to wear it!  It’s super slimming and is definitely a level up from your average base layer. It comes in desert rose and pitch black but of course, this chocolate brown is by far my favorite! I’m wearing an XS and it fits true to size.

SHOP NOW

CAMEL COAT:

I decided to top the bodysuit above with a classic camel coat by Reiss. A coat like this instantly elevates any look and when it’s paired with this rich chocolate shade it makes it feel far more luxurious. Reiss is one of my favorite brands to shop at Nordstrom and the quality is SO good. The wool blend is super soft and I love the oversized pockets as well. I’m wearing an XS and it fits true to size.

SHOP NOW

BUDGET FRIENDLY VERSION:

If the Reiss jacket above is a bit out of budget, don’t worry! I’ve found a very similar option from Express that is half the price and comes in 5 different shades to suit any preference. This pecan color is by far the most luxe in my opinion and I love the tortoiseshell buttons. This jacket is currently on a huge discount making it under $100, which is a truly amazing value. I wear an XS in this chic coat.

UNDER $60 SKYSCRAPER JEANS:

I paired the chocolate brown bodysuit above with this insanely flattering pair of denim from Express. They’re a mid-rise baby flare with a floor-skimming hem so they make your legs look crazy long. They’re also extremely comfortable which is always a plus! You can order them in 3 different lengths to find the perfect fit; I’m 5’4 and always get the regular length making them perfect to wear with a 3-inch heel. I’m wearing a size 0 regular and they fit true to size.

CHOCOLATE BROWN FAUX LEATHER BLAZER:

This last example of how to wear chocolate brown is this faux leather blazer which is also from Express. I love the rich brown shade and the oversized fit looks great with fitted denim. It comes in black as well and is currently on sale for just under $80 which is an AMAZING price for a blazer in this style. I wear an XS and it fits true to size.

SHOP NOW

UNDER $60 SKYSCRAPER JEANS:

I have to say I think I get the most compliments when I wear these jeans from Express, probably because they are UBER SLIMMING! I love the faded black wash and the front seam will definitely elongate your legs. They’re normally under $90 but are currently on sale for 40% off making them just under $60! I’m wearing a size 0 reg and they fit true to size

MORE SIZES HERE IN SOLID BLACK:

This is the same style of jeans as above but without the center seam and in a solid black wash as opposed to a faded vintage black wash. They’re on sale for the same discount making them just under $60 and honestly, I think you would be thrilled with any of the variations of these jeans in this post!
