3. Chocolate brown

Chocolate brown is a forever fall classic—as reliable as the cozy knits you slip into each year—but it has taken on a new life this season. It seems no outfit is complete this autumn without at least one piece in the hue. But no matter how you style it, whether it’s with a trench coat, wide-leg cream jeans, or a maxiskirt, it never fails to add visual warmth to your outfit. If you want to wear it in its 2026 iteration, style it directly with one of the tomato-red pieces we linked above.

Pairs well with: Red, lavender, orange, ivory

Wear instead of: Khaki; brown’s deep contrast offers a calmer, moodier take on your fall looks.

Styling tip: Combine multiple fall style trends into one by opting for riding boots and funnel-neck jackets. To keep things from looking too monotone, try mixing in other color trends like red and purple. Or, dive all the way in with an all-brown outfit.
