I’ve written several times about both of these nano-trends, but I’ve seen so many chic pieces popping up in rich brown suede, and/or with chunky gold detailing. Together, they speak of an ambient style narrative — these styles work so well with all of the chocolate browns, wide legs, barn coats that accompany them in the market this season. (Above, I’m wearing this Parker Thatch bag, Quince slides, this Aureum belt, Spanx shorts, and this Kule tee. It felt fall but still appropriate for current season weather.)

More details and thoughts below…
01. A perfect belt for fall at a great price point. Combines both nano-trends. Upgrade pick: Aureum (20% off with JENS20), seen above.
02. My Elleme handbag. The handle that started it all for me! I have to say, this is a unicorn bag — she somehow feels like the right shape, size, and level of dressiness for almost any occasion? Can be worn with a cocktail dress; can be worn with jeans and a tee. She’s everything. Look for less with this. I also still can’t stop thinking about the Savette pochettes. Suede and gold hardware – so good.
03. My loafers (15% off with MAGPIE15). Plan to wear with everything this fall. Upgrade pick: Miu Miu; budget buy: these. And if you’re not a loafer gal, you must contemplate VB’s Beatrix flats in the perfect shade of brown, on sale for 50% off.
04. Toteme’s bucket tote is majorly trending at the moment — you can get the look for less with this (I own in a brown leather and she’s gorgeous), or opt for something with a tad more structure (as I did) with this delicious Parker Thatch tote. VB also launched a beautiful, structured ladylike bag this month that comes in a gorgeous brown suede with an elegant gold detail, and if you’re after something minimalist, I’m loving the clean lines of this Little Liffner tote.
05. Investment, but wow — this suede blazer. This more casual chore-style shacket situation is also piquing my interest. I’d need to reflect on how to style this so it’s not too boxy on me.

Just saw this boot from Madewell called The Dimes Kitten-Heel Boot in the brown suede color looks so rich! Check it out.

Absolutely LOVE. Perfect silhouette!

Oooh I love this palette!
One of my favorite things I wore was this chocolate brown strapless silk gown at a wedding in the early 2000’s. I just remember feeling so dressed up and elegant (I was 25 at the time), yet it was so different from the usual black for a black-tie event.
And Aoife hit the nail on the head in her comment on “shade, texture, and pattern”! Fall and winter dressing at its best.
That dress sounds SO chic and dreamy. I have a similar “soft spot outfit” for this yellow chiffon dress I had when I was 21. I wore it to a formal cocktail party with diamonds my mother lent me and I had never felt more chic in my life. Probably still haven’t!

Jen, all of these picks and this overall nanotrend have me the most excited about fashion I’ve been in a looooong time. Maybe because it feels like a gorgeous maturing of pieces I love to wear — the pieces I collected in my early 20s through to now? Also brown goes so well with the palette of red and blue that to me are truly omni-seasonal. So excited for these seasons of shade, texture, and pattern ahead!
I TOTALLY agree; everything out right now feels right, and exciting, and classic and new at the same time. I love the sophistication of so many of these styles. A bit of a departure from grandmillennial vibes! I’m here for it.
