This season’s rich brown tones

From Pantone’s Mocha Mousse to the rich colours of deep espresso and delicate caramel tones, the autumn/winter season 2025 is offering a beautiful palette of shades of brown. If you are looking to build on your capsule wardrobe this season that work with the British weather this decadent neutral is both timeless and versatile.

Brown as a neutral can be very flattering especially on warmer skin tones. Warmer than black and softer than grey and a colour that goes with other warm neutral such as beige and camel. A dark brown colour paired with a softer tone can bring depth and richness to even the simplest outfit. You can also try it with some other striking colours such as blue and red or even make the most of butter yello.

Dark brown is great as an addition for the wardrobe for this season and is a perfect transitional colour that you can wear for many months to come.

To get the most of your wardrobe this season, there are some key pieces that you can add to your capsule wardrobe:

Wool-blend tailored coat – choose a structured silhouette in a darker shade which is perfect for layering over knits and dresses.

Knitwear- a chunky roll-neck or cashmere sweater adds texture and warmth.

Wide-leg trousers in a soft tailored pair in deep brown are great for day to night.

Accessories really lend themselves to this season, especially if you want a change from black. Try a tote, a crossbody bag or a belt to tie your look together. Boots are your best friend at this time of year too, either knee-high or ankle boots in a dark brown to elevate any outfit while keeping you dry.
