The Colour of the Season: Chocolate for Autumn/Winter 2025

As the leaves turn and the air cools, there’s one colour stealing the spotlight this season: chocolate. Deep, rich, and endlessly versatile, this luxurious shade of brown has become the go-to hue for Autumn/Winter wardrobes. It’s timeless, sophisticated, and surprisingly easy to style.

Whether you’re drawn to minimalist neutrals or love to make a statement, chocolate works beautifully with everything – soft creams, crisp whites, muted greys, or even pops of bold colour. You can dress it down for effortless weekend chic or elevate it for a more polished, evening-ready look. Think of it as the new black, but warmer, softer, and infinitely more modern.

There’s something undeniably elegant about the way chocolate tones play with texture. From buttery leather and sumptuous cashmere to sleek tailoring and structured outerwear, this season’s palette of mocha, espresso, and cocoa adds instant depth and dimension to any outfit. It’s confidence, understated – the kind of quiet luxury that never tries too hard, yet always stands out.

I like to throw in something like a leopard print to bring a bit of colour if you don't fancy the full monochrome look. Leopard and animal are the definite prints of the season.

Shop the Look: Chocolate for Every Occasion

To help you embrace the trend, we’ve curated a series of chocolate-inspired looks that celebrate the many ways to wear this season’s most beautiful colour.
