Chocolate Brown: Autumn's Rich, Cozy Neutral.
It’s the color of acorns and pinecones on leaf-strewn paths, and freshly brewed espresso and hot cocoa on chilly afternoons. Warm, inviting and a little bit moody, chocolate brown is the season’s most alluring shade. This deep autumn hue is rooted in nature – it’s the ultimate fall neutral, after all – so bring on those plaids and animal prints! Depending how you style it, this chocolaty hue can be rustic and earthy, polished and traditional, or luxe and sophisticated. Here’s our top picks for chocolate brown shoes and boots and how and where we’ll be wearing them this fall.
Dress Pumps
There’s no better way to bring a touch of femininity to fall outfits than a gorgeous pair of pumps in rich chocolate brown leather or luxurious suede. An elegant chocolate brown mary jane pump or sophisticated block heel will bring delicate contrast to structured menswear-inspired blazers and wide leg trousers, instantly balancing and softening the look. Style your chocolate brown heels with jeans and a tweed blazer for cozy family Thanksgiving dinners and reunion weekends or with a one-and-done knit dress for the office, wine tastings and date nights.
Joggers
For sunny afternoons in the park, browsing farmer’s markets or apple picking, opt for a pair of sleek retro joggers in luxe chocolate brown Italian suede. Their slender, graceful profile blends the delicate, feminine vibe of a flat with the agility of a sneaker that’s ideal for long autumn walks, and the rich brown suede adds richness and depth to elevate your casual looks. These slim, lightweight sneakers will be your go-to for everything from school pickups to city exploring and weekend escapes. Pair them with a cashmere crewneck, shirt jacket and relaxed ivory trousers for effortless autumn-chic style.
Western Boots
The season of homecoming games, tailgating and harvest festivals calls for another classic fall tradition: the iconic western boot. In deep chocolate brown leathers and suedes with fresh on-trend details, this sought-after silhouette was made for autumn days. Channel downtown cool this fall in a pair of chocolate brown leather ankle boots with subtle western-chic curves, or embrace your inner cowgirl in a gorgeous pair of embroidered mid-calf western boots. Luxe leathers and artisan touches make these modern western boots irresistibly fun to wear. Show them off with a flowy mini dress or tiered skirt for a flirty and sweet country concert look or tuck them into a pair of billowy white pants topped with a broken-in denim jacket while you soak up the fall sun on a relaxing day in the country.
Tall Boots
Nothing says forever timeless like a pair of chocolate brown tall boots in autumn. It’s a quintessential fall style that looks refined and polished in any setting, with clean, classic lines inspired by traditional English riding boots refreshed with a modern aesthetic for everyday wear. Crafted with artisanal Italian leathers and suedes, the tall boots in our fall collection are made with enduring quality and hand-finished with heritage details for a look that’s both effortless and sophisticated. We love them with a cozy shearling-lined suede jacket, fair isle sweater and lace-trimmed skirt for a romantic weekend in the country look. Style these tall boots with just about anything in your closet, and you’ll see why they’ve earned their well-deserved icon status.
