I know. I’m surprised at this one too. I didn’t see this happening. A post on chocolate brown? WHAT??

Chocolate, sure. I’ve done loads of that here. But chocolate brown? The COLOR?! It’s a whole new world to me, albeit one I’m very much enjoying delving into.

So here’s the thing. I’ve actually always been a closeted dark brown lover. I had a secret affinity for the hue but couldn’t own up to it, and I stayed away from dark brown when I was shopping. Up until very recently, I think I had a total of two chocolate brown pieces in my entire wardrobe. And I hadn’t worn those pieces in years. I just had this false belief that 1- dark brown didn’t suit me, and if it’s a dark color I’m seeking, I like my black tyvm and 2- brown was weird and best suited for branches and mud and the like.

But now. I think dark brown suits me. And I don’t think it’s weird. I mean. I think it’s a little weird. But the good kind of weird. I’ve had a paradigm shift, and I’m quite thrilled about it.

Above are forty-four chocolate (mostly dark chocolate, not much milk chocolate — the darker the brown the better imho) brown tops and pants and skirts and dresses and jackets, pictured in ascending price order. And the first twenty-four options depicted are under $100.

GIMME ALL THE CHOCOLATE BROWN.
