Chocolate brown has been a trend (can we really even call it that, though? It’s a classic!) for a while now, but I’ve found myself really leaning into it this year. Brown still feels dark and moody, perfect for winter (but with a little more warmth than black or navy). It pairs beautifully with other neutrals (black, navy, camel, and grey all look great) and even brights like chartreuse (more on that here). Lately, I’ve been leaning into chocolate on chocolate . . . a more monochromatic vibe that layers different textures. Think suede, leather, wool, and maybe something silky. Mixing and matching different materials in the same color feels very chic to me. You can see more of that in this reel too!
I bought this Attersee scarf earlier in the year and love it. I took it to New York with me, and it was the perfect warm yet chic accessory. It was definitely a splurge. I spent a little time searching the web for something similar but less expensive, and can confidently say that this under $100 tassel scarf from Free People is the next best thing.

Love all your brown choices! I am seriously considering the Attersee scarf as a birthday present to myself!
It’s really special! xx
I thought it was just me who felt like I have “aged out” of some looks I love..to be honest it also prob. is affected by my weight right now. I love Lady Jackets and the look with a jeans…a great high/low minute…is fabulous on someone younger but I fear on me it just looks OLD. and dowdy..haha which I am old but still…Other things I fear can make me look older is BRIGHT red or pink lipstick, dangly earrings, colorful eyeshadow to name a few. As I said, this is just my thoughts for me and no judgement towards anyone else. Happy weekend Grace.
You should just wear what makes you feel great! xo
