Contrast is key

Playing with texture and unexpected pops of colours can really amp up a chocolate outfit. It gives you that 'second glance' moment which is often shortly followed by someone interrupting you with 'love that'!

For AW26 we've launched our cropped contrast collar suede jacket. A cute take on the chore/barn jacket, but shorter for a more casual vibe. The combination of leather & suede is what makes this so special.

Play around with layers that contrast the texture of your chocolate suede: rugged denim, ridged corduroy and maybe even a little leather.

Keep it cosy

You might think it's cool to pretend you're not cold, but we're not buying it. The joy of chocolate suede is leaning in to the cosy vibe: high necklines, relaxed fit, layers of knitwear and a big chunky scarf.

A chocolate suede outfit without matching accessories is like a hot chocolate without marshmellows and cream - it's just plain wrong.
