Fall brown dresses in chocolate velvet and caramel knit
A fall brown dress works because the color already looks like the season, somewhere between coffee and fallen leaves. We sew ours in chocolate velvet, in a caramel angora-blend knit and in chocolate satin. If you’d call it a brown autumn dress, you’re on the right page as well.
Chocolate velvet minis for dinners and birthdays
Next to black, chocolate velvet has more warmth in it. Yellow restaurant lamps are kinder to your face against it, too. We make the wrap mini from stretch velvet, so it fits close and doesn’t shorten your stride. Its wrap forms a deep V, the draping gathers at the waist and hides the stomach, and the hem is asymmetrical. Leave the necklace off. Gold earrings and a bracelet are enough.
The second mini is more closed up top. You get a round neckline and full-length sleeves. Soft folds run from waist to hip, and the hem wraps on the diagonal, so it shows a little leg as you step. In the light, this velvet throws a coppery sheen. We’d wear it when a workday runs straight into a dinner booking, with mocha boots and a beige coat.
A caramel turtleneck midi from October to March
Want something for ordinary cold days? The caramel midi is an angora-blend knit, fluffy and pleasant to the touch, and both its collar and its sleeves are full height and full length. It goes to the office and straight on through the weekend. Tall boots meet the midi hem, so your legs stay covered and warm. Your neck is covered, so earrings or a bracelet make more sense than a chain.
Cream, milk-white and darker brown all sit well beside caramel. A light coat is an easy match.
Where the chocolate satin fits in
One brown here is a warm-season dress. It’s a wrap midi with a V-neck, long sleeves and ties that set the waist. We sew it from matte satin, a polyester with a 2 % share of elastane. The shade is hot chocolate, and it looks as good on a summer terrace as in a restaurant on an early fall evening. Add a trench or a blazer once it cools down. It comes from our summer collection, so plan for it ahead of time and don’t count on finding it in November.
Frequently asked questions
What colors go with a brown autumn dress?
Gold jewelry first. After that, beige, caramel and cappuccino shades in shoes and bags. With the round-neck velvet mini, black tights make things stricter and nude ones lighter.
Is the caramel dress pure angora?
No, it’s a soft angora-blend knit. It wants a cool hand wash, a mild soap and no rubbing or wringing. Similar knits are in brown sweater dresses.
Which fall brown dress is the warmest?
The caramel turtleneck midi. The velvet minis come second, once you add tights and boots.
How do I choose a size?
On the wraps, the bust is the number to trust, since the tie or crossover takes care of the waist. We make each one in XS to XL, and you can send us your measurements if you’re between two.
