Key Takeaways

Brown is the hot new power-neutral color, offering warmth, richness, and dimension that feel fresher than black but just as versatile.
The easiest way to wear brown well is through texture and tone. Mixing leather with knits, pairing cocoa with cinnamon, or grounding a look in one monochromatic shade creates outfits that feel intentional, modern, and easy to pull off.

Brown is in its leading-lady era. The shade—which I prefer to call chocolate because it feels chicer—has taken the place of black. It comes as no surprise, considering Pantone announced Mocha Mousse as its Color of the Year for 2025 and fashion houses like Fendi, Gucci, and Prada sent coffee-hued pieces down the fall/winter runways. This gravitation toward brown feels right amid the evolution of the quiet-luxury movement, where we’re seeing people drift away from blacks and grays in favor of warmer, richer tones that still feel classic but offer a bit more personality.

Brown feels grounded, lived-in, and even sexy—especially on knee-high boots, wool wrap coats, and leather handbags. Think Coach’s Brooklyn or The Row’s Margaux; in brown is where these purses truly shine. They’re not only expensive—they look expensive.

But perhaps the most exciting way to wear brown is from head to toe. There’s nothing more fab than a chocolate monochromatic moment. Tonal dressing is already undeniably stylish thanks to the cohesiveness of wearing one shade, and brown gives it that timeless edge.
