what to wear in November 2024?
New month, new opportunities to play around in the world of fashion. Yay!
November feels like one of the most grounded months of the year – there are solemn commemorations like Veteran’s Day. And the simple, unfussy joys of Thanksgiving. Just over the horizon, gaudy and raucous December awaits, with its parties and glitter. But November is here now, and it requires a lot less glitz.
Which is why we’re going all in on the chocolate brown trend this month. It just feels right. The fashion authorities have decreed that chocolate brown from head to toe is a new chic take on “stealth wealth” dressing. The Telegraph of London style experts say that shades of coffee and chocolate are incredibly flattering for people of all ages. And yes, they’ve said that brown is the new black. We’re not buying that. But we agree that done properly, deep shades of chocolate brown can look great on everyone, and can be paired with any number of existing wardrobe pieces in pop colors like lavender, ivory and cobalt blue.
