what to wear in November 2023?
New month, new opportunities to play around in the world of fashion. Yay!
November feels like one of the most grounded months of the year – there are solemn commemorations like Veteran’s Day. And the simple, unfussy joys of Thanksgiving. Just over the horizon, gaudy and raucous December awaits, with its parties and glitter. But November is here now, and it requires a lot less glitz.
Which is why we’re going all in on the new chocolate brown trend this month. It just feels right. The fashion authorities have decreed that chocolate brown from head to toe is a new chic take on “stealth wealth” dressing. And yes, they’ve said that brown is the new black. We’re not buying that. But we agree that done properly, deep shades of chocolate brown can look great on everyone, and can be paired with any number of existing wardrobe pieces in pop colors like lavender, ivory and cobalt blue.

We begin our list of what to wear in November 2023 with a striking and slinky chocolate brown midi dress from Zimmerman. ‘Cause who says brown only works in cold climes?

Wear it with a slip or as a coverup over a swimsuit.” Consider it done.

Simone Rocha has a distinctive way of making classics look new and even edgy again. We love this pleated mini kilt skirt as the basis for a chocolate brown outfit that feels fun and fresh.

Acclaimed designer Thakoon Panichgul has launched a new label, Homme Girls. The line is “dedicated to the women who shop in the men’s department — where the expertly tailored clothes were designed to exude authority.

4. the pullover.
The Frankie Shop has mastered the idea of classics with a twist, as exemplified by this pullover sweater. It’s “made from a luxe merino wool-cashmere blend into a relaxed silhouette fit with ribbed trim and a crewneck.” Perfect on its own or over a crisp white collared shirt.

The removeable hood of this ski jumpsuit is trimmed with faux fur, and perfectly channels an Aspen-St. Moritz vibe.
7. the party-perfect top.
Chocolate brown isn’t just for day – it can also add sparkle to a night out. Moda Operandi says: “Hailed by British Vogue as the cool girl’s go-to for ‘conversation-starting’ evening-wear, 16Arlington is the cult London label questioning the idea of glamour with an infectious eccentricity. Adorned in shimmering sequins, the ‘Seeran’ long sleeve top has a fitted silhouette detailed with a lace-up V-neckline.”

The statement coat is always an easy way to elevate an outfit – and it’s also always a lot of fun. This deep chocolate topper from Stockholm-based brand Totême conveys that effortless Scandi-cool vibe we all love. It’s “made from soft doublé fabric — a blend of responsibly sourced wool and cashmere that’s created by hand-stitching two fine layers together to achieve a double-faced finish with clean seams. It has an oversized silhouette with easy-to-style shawl lapels, dropped shoulders, and an open front which makes it perfect for layering.”
