I used to like chocolate brown many years ago, but found it hard to incorporate in my outfits, especially when it appeared in footwear. I noticed chocolate brown shoes on sale in greater availability than other sale colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1769709 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 20:17:00 +0000 Cee 1769709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a chocolate pair of flares back in the day which I'd team with beige turtlenecks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1743035 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 15:13:17 +0000 kkards 1743035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love brown in accessoires---i personally don't like it in apparel. i hope it doesn't displace navy/ink...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1743034 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 14:57:59 +0000 Summer 1743034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several years ago, I built a capsule around dark chocolate and pink - a combination that I've always loved.&nbsp; From that capsule I still have a brown leather jacket, tall boots, cord jeans and a cami, which I still wear occasionally, paired with denim and pale blues and pinks. I probably won't be buying any more brown, though - except for footwear and bags - as I don't find it so flattering with my newly-grey hair, but&nbsp; I still love it on others.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1743002 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 12:33:59 +0000 Staysfit 1743002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, how about pairing chocolate with light blue and white or even berry and white or silver? I think that would look great. I think I'm going to do that, using fuschia as my berry tone. It's a great neutral. I used to wear chocolate and white all the time. It was one of my favorite combos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1743000 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 12:28:37 +0000 Staysfit 1743000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went back and looked. I have a lot more chocolate brown than I thought! 3 down puffers of various lengths, 1 cashmere &amp; wool blend coat, 1 cashmere cardigan, 1 leather skirt, 3 pairs of boots, 1 pair of booties, 3 handbags, 1 belt. </p> <p>I have an entire dark chocolate capsule for winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742986 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 11:43:35 +0000 Helena 1742986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking I'd like a change in my dark neutral ... A dark brown might be the trick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742984 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 11:18:42 +0000 Karie 1742984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE chocolate brown - it goes much better with my skin tone than black. My newest blazer has lots of brown in it and I couldn't be happier.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was just looking in the Lord &amp; Taylor flyer (they are having a boot sale) for a pair of dark brown over-the-knee boots. There is still a sea of black out there. Hopefully retail will catch on quick!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742979 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 10:20:20 +0000 Inge 1742979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed! Chocolate brown is looking so fresh and chic, and I've been feeling drawn to tall boots in chocolate brown for months now:-) I saw your Zara puffer in a brick-and-mortar store and was also admiring the chocolate brown piping. Both pairs of boots and the bag are stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742949 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 05:07:41 +0000 catgirl 1742949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've learned not to give in to brown - it always ends up orphaned. I do love it on others when it's not a default like black can be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742790 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 20:31:07 +0000 Alassë 1742790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm all for this colour trend, of course. Makes getting basics (my "blacks") easier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742619 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 13:51:17 +0000 Colette 1742619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Longchamp bag is gorgeous! Rich chocolate has always seemed European to me, very Italian chic. I was never a huge fan of chocolate for clothing but I love it in shoes, bags, and belts. I did hold on to a few chocolate clothing items from a decade or so ago. In my maximal pic, the old blazer I'm wearing is a brown herringbone. I remember feeling I needed something to freshen my wardrobe at time and brown felt very different to me. But, it feels odd when I wear it in a big way, I guess that's why I prefer brown in accessories. Interesting though, when I mixed the brown blazer with black, I actually liked it (and so did my SO). I don't know that I'll be adding anything brown but for sure I'll be playing with my brown orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742613 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 13:46:15 +0000 unfrumped 1742613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that color and it's better than black though still<br /> Maybe not great face color. But I love it as a main color and even mixed with gray.<br /> I have very little now because I gave up trying to mix with it as had ended up running 2 color palettes with black and browns and duplicating basics and accessories, and it got too complicated. At one time I thought I could replace black with brown but that just doesn't seem to work. Also it is often absent in nicer fabrications.<br /> The trick is to find items that either form a small capsule or play with other cooler colors or bridge items. I have a dark chocolate belt with a black buckle-- similar to your handbag example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742606 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 13:33:54 +0000 Janet 1742606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed something about dark brown -- even though I am a big fan of cool colors, I don't like my browns too cool. If I'm going to choose something in brown, I want it rich and a bit warm. The ashy brown colors look dull to me, and I wouldn't want to mix them with the cool colors I wear. I'd rather have the contrast and richness of the slightly warmer, redder brown shades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742597 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 13:25:33 +0000 RobinF 1742597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very interesting. I haven't seen much around here yet but will definitely keep looking. I haven't liked it for several years but I do have some high-shaft booties in brown that I have had for a long time and never got rid of. They are a wedge heel but probably still look stylish enough. I wonder if I can wear them with black crops? I'll have to do some experimenting this weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742594 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 13:22:19 +0000 Lisa 1742594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any color that reminds me of a sinful treat is ok in my book! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742590 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 12:54:15 +0000 Gail 1742590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am excited about chocolate brown being back.<br />&nbsp;I have a pair of BCBG brown suede high heel boots that I bought in about &nbsp;2002 which I love. I had them altered to fit my calf and they fit perfectly. I haven't worn them in a while as I didn't have much brown clothing and they are sort of dressy. I would like to try and make some casual outfits to wear with them but they have a higher heel than I usually wear.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/3#post-1742555 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 11:21:34 +0000 Suz 1742555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I see it with white, Angie -- you're right. That could work well. Or in a pattern of some kind that included white or light grey/ silver. Hmmm. Thank you. I'll consider again. A chocolate brown belt with silver hardware could be could, and possibly a bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/2#post-1742524 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 09:40:35 +0000 Style Fan 1742524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love chocolate brown.&nbsp; I have some chocolate brown items&nbsp;in my wardrobe that are getting on in age.&nbsp; They are simple in design so I keep wearing them.&nbsp; I have not seen much in the last few years in brown so the return of brown makes me very happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/2#post-1742523 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 09:38:32 +0000 Sisi 1742523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has always surprised me that as much as I adore chocolate I do&nbsp;not like the corresponding color.&nbsp;Simply, it does not make me happy (as does blue). But real chocolate does make me <b>very</b> happy! (By the way, I am Team Milk Chocolate - there is always a debate between Team Milk and Team Bitter). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/2#post-1742515 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 08:56:53 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1742515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know, it always seems so dark to me (in a way that black isn't). I bought a chocolate brown drapey jacket, and it's going back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/2#post-1742483 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 04:49:50 +0000 Aziraphale 1742483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love chocolate! Heck, I love ALL THE DARK COLOURS! Haha!</p> <p>OK, but seriously. I <i>had</i> noticed that chocolate was coming back, and I am very pleased. It has been nowhere to be found for simply <i>ages</i>. I remember that one of the things my late mum and I agreed on was colours, and we were both fans of chocolate brown. She thought it was classy, and a little bit "different" (that's how she used to describe something unexpected, but not unwelcome). I used to like it with pale pink, or a medium heather grey.</p> <p>Right now I've got very little chocolate in my closet, but I did wear chocolate knit wrist warmers this morning with my army green dress. Sadly, wrist warmers are not an all-day accessory; they come off as soon as you go inside.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll add a bit of chocolate to my wardrobe as soon as I see the right thing. I'm on a one-in-one-out rule, and my closet is full of items I like, so I'd really have to find something special to replace an old item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/2#post-1742480 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 04:42:52 +0000 Gigi 1742480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love chocolate brown but have very few items in it. Last year I bought a pair of Aquatalia Rumbahs in dark brown...but that color doesn't appear to be available this year (?). I also have one scarf in cream and brown. Looking forward to adding more chocolate brown to my closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/2#post-1742473 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 04:20:43 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1742473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have quite a few chocolate boots, a bag and jackets that I'd love to wear more. I particularly like it paired with teal or marine blue. Hmmm, think I'll try that tomorrow!

I do love to wear a chocolate cardi and sandals with a tomato red dress and chocolate with dark denim.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/2#post-1742452 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 03:17:31 +0000 Joyce B 1742452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the PG Willows in chocolate brown so I am happy to hear that the color is coming back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-brown-1/page/2#post-1742448 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 03:03:30 +0000 Jaime 1742448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Time to do a survey. For the first while after I stopped dying my hair I resisted brown, then warmed to cognac, and chocolate brown seems to be next in line. </p>
