Enhance your style this fall by shopping the chicest neutral of the season: brown! While basic black will always have a spot in our cold-weather rotation, we’ve found that this small color switch gives our wardrobe a more elevated feel. Cozy fall dresses, statement sweaters, tailored trousers and bucket bags suddenly look more expensive when they’re espresso, chocolate, caramel or even warm beige. Honestly, it’s a trick you have to try!

Thankfully, retailers like Amazon, Quince, Old Navy and Abercrombie & Fitch are packed with this trending hue. Ahead, we found 21 brown fashion staples that prove brown is the new black, starting at $15!
