While my guilty pleasure is Married at First Sight, my not-so guilty pleasure is chocolate. I'm obsessed. So much so, I'll go above and behind to find any new Cadbury launches, I'll have a slight panic when I've eaten all the chocolatey snacks from my cupboard and even my grandma asks me "how many chocolate bars have you had today?" each time I visit her. Which is why I of course love anything that resembles my favourite treat—enter: chocolate brown boots.
Rich chocolatey shades were all over the runways in general, and when it comes to boots, we saw over-the-knee iterations at Chloé, tasseled styles at Isabel Marant and glossy riding boots over at Gucci. Confirming brown boots are a huge trend for winter, naturally I've been on the lookout for ways to style hot chocolate hues for all my chilly weather outfits. And I wasn't disappointed—I discovered how good it looks when teamed with black, how low heels are most certainly back and that a tonal outfit will go along way in 2026.
Here are 5 ways to style brown boots for winter that I'll no doubt be copying from now until spring.
BROWN BOOT OUTFITS TO COPY THIS WINTER:
1. Brown Tall Suede Boots + Brown Coat + Brown Bag
Style Notes: I was always told growing up that black and brown didn't work together, but this is of course far from the truth. A dream duo that always looks effortless, I love the matching brown suede knee-high boots, bag and coat broken up by a black knit and skirt pairing.
Shop the Look:
A rich chocolate brown coat will be a piece you'll bring out year after year.
So good it comes in 18 different colours.
A piece to see you through the seasons.
Tip: invest in a good suede protector, especially for an investment piece.
This is so chic.
2. Brown Ugg Boots + Maxi Coat + Jeans
Style Notes: Like how I've never watched Sex and the City (yes, really!) I've never worn a pair of Ugg boots. But I think this is the year I could be swayed after seeing how chic (read: comfy) they look when worn with wardrobe staples such as jeans and a jumper. The ulta mini gets my vote.
Shop the Look:
Mango is one of my go-to high-street brands for coats.
Reformation's knitwear collection is as good as their dresses.
Agolde is a firm favourite for denim.
I have to admit, they do look so comfy.
Sunglasses don't have to be reserved for summer.
3. Brown Knee-High Boots + Wool Blazer
Style Notes: A look that never fails to make an impact is a short outfit––a mini dress, skirt or in this case, a blazer––worn with sleek knee-high boots. Croc pairs can be found at Toteme, Hush and Dear Frances and I love how the texture adds extra interest to any outfit.
Shop the Look:
Ideal for keeping your ears warm, too.
A cosy wool blazer is such a chic layering piece.
Irresistible.
It's clear why Bottega Veneta's bags are so iconic.
Some of my favourite jewellery is from Daisy London and I've had my eye on this pair of earrings for a while.
4. Brown Suede Ankle Boots + Tan Jumper + White Jeans
Style Notes: Suede everything is key this season, but boots are a firm favourite. Firstly, make sure you in invest in a good protector spray to keep them looking clean, and secondly, brown, tan or taupe are the colours to go for. Anouk has worn her kitten heel pair with white jeans, and I'll be copying this look all winter.
Shop the Look:
A wardrobe staple.
I love this camel shade.
White jeans aren't just for the warmer months.
Staud's shoes are always so good.
The perfect tote.
Saint Laurent do the chicest sunnies.
5. Brown Biker Boots + Checked Co-ord
Style Notes: Heritage check blazers are everywhere this season––to style the 2026 way, go for a matching skirt and add buckled biker boots. The brown shade makes the chunky style feel less harsh than classic black. Just add tights and a wool maxi coat to make this look fully winter-proof.
Shop the Look:
Reformation strikes once again!
Alohas is my new found favourite shoe brand.
This is at the top of my wishlist.
Brown works so well with silver jewellery.
