Yes, Brown Is the New Beige—These 11 Outfits Prove It

The past few seasons have been dominated by the color beige. From stick-of-butter dressing to oat-milk outfits, the light neutral was all we could talk about—until now, that is. Yes, I'm here to declare that there's a new color trend in town, and I think you'll be surprised to find just how chic it can be. Rich shades of chocolate brown and cocoa were spotted in abundance on the F/W 20 runways and even more currently splashed across the Instagram feeds of our favorite fashion girls, confirming that the warm hue has staying power.

Designers like Bottega Veneta and Prabal Gurung embraced the color trend and presented head-to-toe brown looks on their runways although according to Nanushka, brown also pairs well with neutrals like taupe and hazelnut. While brown has historically been a color to avoid at all costs (we've even brought in the experts to show us how it's done), these new brown outfits are proving just how chic and modern the color can be. It's all about the right styling (with lots of neutrals) and playing with textures.

Look no further than the below runway and Instagram report to find the chicest ways to wear the nutty brown hue now.

Bottega Veneta provided us with a rather chic and cold weather–ready way to wear brown now: brown leather outerwear. 
Chocolate brown and taupe fused together flawlessly at Nanushka, where many of the looks incorporated a palette of these warm tones. One takeaway? Snakeskin print pairs particularly well with brown.
Prabal Gurung made a strong case for chocolate brown eveningwear. We're keeping our eyes peeled as the holiday season approaches.
The tailoring at Jil Sander was superb and this look offers a reason to break archaic fashion rules and wear brown alongside black accessories.
The easiest way to try the color trend is through of rich-toned fall dress, which just so happens to look exceptional with gold jewelry.
Another A+ example of styling chocolate brown alongside neutrals like taupe.
A polo-neck dress is a very "right now" way to wear brown.
A boxy suiting look makes the somewhat intimidating color much more approachable.
Proof that the color plays well with the beige.
Now this is an outfit I can see myself living in for the foreseeable future.
Take note: Some of the coolest prints of the moment involve chocolate brown. 
Does it get any easier than a matching set? No, no it doesn't.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
