Dakota Johnson and French Women Agree: This Anti-Trend Color Will Dominate Fall
When it comes to the upcoming season, there are a few things I'm certain about—one being the fact that chocolate brown is the color that'll be most dominant, even more than black and navy blue. Why am I so sure? Well, when multiple influential French women and Dakota Johnson all wear the rich, luxurious shade from head to toe in the span of a single almost-fall week, you start to connect the dots.
Johnson wore the color in the form of a floor-length Gucci slip dress hemmed with black lace. She added sky-high black sandals and a mini Jackie bag in patent leather, plus a smattering of Bulgari jewelry, including two bracelets and a statement necklace.

The sophisticated color is spreading, and a number of French fashion people are choosing the shade over all others for fall.Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing favorite Sylvie Mus paired a brown V-neck sweater with a leather pencil skirt in the same shade, a clutch purse, gold earrings, and strappy sandals, providing ample dressing inspiration for the early stages of the season. For a tailored, oversize ensemble, take cues from Annemiek Kessels, who wore a relaxed suit in the same hue with brown accessories, including The Row's beloved Margaux bag.
