Chocolate brown is a forever fall classic—as reliable as the cozy knits you slip into each year—but it has taken on a new life this season. It seems no outfit is complete this autumn without at least one piece in the hue. But no matter how you style it, whether it’s with a trench coat, wide-leg cream jeans, or over a maxi skirt, it never fails to add visual warmth to your outfit. If you want to wear it in its 2026 iteration, style it directly with one of the tomato red pieces we linked above.
Pairs well with: Red, lavender, orange, ivory
Wear instead of: Khaki. Brown’s deep contrast offers a calmer, moodier take on your fall looks.
Styling tip: Combine multiple fall style trends into one by opting for riding boots and funnel-neck jackets. To keep things from looking too monotone, try mixing in other color trends like red and purple. Or, dive all the way in with an all-brown outfit.
