The Sweet Spot
We can’t think of a more delicious combination than chocolate and strawberry. Pink brings an unexpected softness to chocolate brown, striking the perfect balance between playful and pretty. Blush tones feel romantic, while brighter pinks add bold contrast. We love adding a pale pink piece of arm candy, as well as a pair of matching slingback heels to tie the look together.

When in doubt, double down. Layering chocolate brown on chocolate brown feels intentional and looks oh-so sweet. Mixing textures like leather, suede and lace keeps it interesting – proof that going monotonal is anything but bland.
