Is it only me, or does it seem like everyone with good taste is suddenly sporting this particular expensive-looking dress trend?

      Every month there seems to be a new color trend to embrace. If it's not butter yellow, then it's powder pink. While I enjoy experimenting with new shades, I often prefer to stick with the colors that have always suited me, and chocolate brown is the one I continually return to. With my significant love for chocolate — often resulting in me carrying an 'emergency' chocolate bar in my handbag — it’s no surprise I'm drawn to a color reminiscent of my favorite treat. Speaking of bags, a rich brown style always appears so luxurious, especially paired with neutral linen separates and airy white cotton dresses. The same goes for sandals, but my collection of dresses is where 2025's trending color truly shines. A brown dress feels less severe than the classic LBD, yet remains equally versatile, and I appreciate how well the color transitions through all seasons for virtually any occasion. However, when focusing on the brown dresses that will be essential this summer, satin takes the lead. Why? Because it’s perfect for upcoming weddings, outdoor dinners, warm holiday nights, and everything in between.

      In general, satin dresses often look more luxurious than their cotton counterparts. Perhaps it's because they shine on their own without needing a lot of accessories—though I do enjoy stacking on gold bangles and earrings—or maybe it’s because they feel just as good as they appear. Regardless, I'm not the only supporter of brown satin dresses for summer; many of the most fashionable women online have been sporting them already this season. Believe me, you’ll be seeing more of these chocolatey pieces in the coming months—especially on my Instagram as I wear them to the 3000 weddings in my calendar this year! Fortunately, there are numerous high-street options that look expensive, alongside chic designer pieces that I think are worth the investment. Scroll down for my ultimate selection of brown satin dresses.
