I hinted in a recent post about summery browns that deep and rich chocolate brown is making a meaningful comeback. We’ve seen it fringe trend for years, but nothing major. Apparently that’s going to change. 

You’re on Team Chocolate if you prefer wearing chocolate to navy, and vice versa. These neutrals can be in the form of solids or patterns. Note that every tone and shade of dark brown and dark blue counts. Take your pick.

I bat for Team Navy. It’s my dark neutral of choice, and “my black”. I happily wear navy in solid and patterned clothing but not in footwear or accessories. I love dark blue! On the other hand, after wearing a dark brown school uniform for years, I don’t wear solid chocolate brown. I’m recovering. That said, I wear dark brown in patterns and textured solids like herringbones and tweeds. Sparingly, but I do wear them.

Over to you. Do you bat for Team Chocolate or Team Navy? Tell us why, and no batting for both teams. If you can’t pick a side, or wear neither, there’s a feast on the bench. I’m serving butternut, chickpea, green bean, and tomato curry, with Eton mess for dessert. The French meringues are extra chewy in the centre.
