I have ordered these from ON (not the deepest version of chocolate but I think it counts). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280691 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 14:59:28 +0000 Column 2280691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Zaeobi: Yes! Brown is a neutral, and for certain among us, a core or base neutral, which is why we have been missing it for so long. Brown is our black—or Angie`s white, as it were. I`ve gotten used to olive green/khaki, tan/camel, and burgundy for those purposes out of necessity. But they aren`t my first preference, especially for a dark neutral. For me, that is reserved for rich brown!</p> <p>PS—As Angie said within the last year: Color is the one thing about clothing we cannot change. Unless we`re Brooklyn, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280690 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 14:44:33 +0000 Zaeobi 2280690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess the 'best' way to wear dark brown would be in a way that harmonises with your colouring - so warm or cool toned accessories accordingly. Brown can look great with red or peach - even purple! </p> <p>Think Angie has a post somewhere about dark brown going well with denim too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280670 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 10:47:48 +0000 Star (Lise) 2280670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thrilled to hear chocolate is trending.&nbsp; I thrifted a chocolate cord Bennetton blazer at the end of last winter.&nbsp; Have not worn it yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280668 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 10:35:21 +0000 Janet 2280668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, when I wore brown in the past (I barely own any now), it was usually combined with black or blue/turquoise/teal. I used my usual silver accents with those combos, and didn’t feel the need to change to a different metallic for the sake of the brown. I think any metallic is fine, just depending on what else you’re incorporating into the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280663 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 05:50:04 +0000 Anonymous 2280663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Zaeobi and Column. For addressing my question. I hope to add more browns to my wardrobe while considering that accessories would not look deliberate. I have very little brown in jewiery or even footwear. I plan to wear brown items with a pop of color like red or blue. pink or peach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280639 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 01:44:27 +0000 Zaeobi 2280639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Joy It depends - I like a yellow gold or a duller brass with brown, but I know some people feel it's more harmonious with bronze or copper instead (a little too light on me, but could work for you?) </p> <p>My favourite pairing though is with amber &amp;/ or tortoiseshell - just enough warmth to not get lost (as @Column points out) whilst also adding depth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280635 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 01:06:38 +0000 Carla 2280635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, Angie(!) those brown Finds are&nbsp;<i>gorgeous!</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280618 Thu, 08 Sep 2022 23:19:36 +0000 Column 2280618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy,</p> <p>I love gold with brown! I don`t wear brown jewelry much because it gets lost in my hair (earrings), although I have a few brown necklaces and bracelets that I wear as accents to other colors—not brown, because of the blend-in problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280410 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 03:13:33 +0000 Anonymous 2280410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those of you who wear lots of browns, I have a question about accessories.....do you try to wear brown or settle for gold or silver metal? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280401 Tue, 06 Sep 2022 22:24:48 +0000 cat2 2280401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280398 Tue, 06 Sep 2022 20:11:27 +0000 Janet 2280398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even the Gap has a cool brown jean right now. I tried them on and the fit isn’t quite right for me (the tall is too long in the rise and the regular too short in the inseam and also somehow weirdly frumpy on me), but worth noting for those craving some brown denim in an easier fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280384 Tue, 06 Sep 2022 17:19:55 +0000 kkards 2280384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seeing tons of chocolate/ dark browns this year. In the past, I’ve always past on clothing, but have had accessories that I’ve really loved. But I’m feeling some brown apparel coming into my closet this year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280366 Tue, 06 Sep 2022 14:01:42 +0000 Jen 2280366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could not be happier about this!

Not the best colour on me, but I am glad to see it back as it is a gorgeous neutral.

Good luck with the alterations. I am rejoicing and will look at Finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-brown-alert#post-2280113 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 15:56:04 +0000 Column 2280113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those who have been on the hunt for chocolate brown these last several seasons, especially in trousers, I have noticed that retailers are now stocking them. Mango, Talbots, AT, Vince, Ralph Lauren, Reformation (whose cookie policy is as filled with legal escape routes as any I've seen)--anyone, really--now has a decent selection of silhouettes in darker browns that I would call chocolate (as do many of them).</p> <p>Bummer is that, in desperation, I had an older Carlisle pair altered last year to current trends and bought a Carlisle second-hand silk trouser NWT that is at alterations now. I've also bought several lighter shades of brown, from ecru to rust, burgundy, and tobacco, that I'm now used to and happy with, especially since shapes are still high-waisted with room around the hips and thighs. Amazing how the right fit can override precise color concerns, especially when color is used as a strategy to conceal (fit obviously does that, too).</p> <p>So I'm pretty set and not in need of spending money, although I did order a sale pair from Mango ($29) just for a try. I also notice there is a lot of brown in Finds as of today.</p> <p>Brown lovers, rejoice!</p> </p>
