Black Friday is basically over (you’ve got until midnight to shop the best Cyber Monday deals, people) – and is it just us, or did we dedicate all of our purchases to a single colour? From our hair to our wardrobes, chocolate brown is certainly having a big moment this season. In fact, it’s been having a moment for a few years now. Chocolate brown is so ubiquitous, you might just be starting to feel the dreaded beginnings of, yes, boredom. But fear not. Even though chocolate brown may have taken over your wardrobe, there’s no need to let it get dull. In fact, with the right styling and the right accessories, the simplest chocolate brown dress can take on a new dimension. We promise.

Coats, shoes and jewellery are a good place to start if you want to give your tired chocolate browns a bit of a jolt. With these tips, you’ll take your new chocolate brown ‘fit to the next level — and never get bored.

• Borrow from the mob wife aesthetic trend. Add a fur coat, XXL gold jewellery, and animal-print shoes.
• Make it boho. Style with cowboy boots, charm pendants and a suede coat with fur collar.
• Bring it to the office. Wear with a turtleneck jumper underneath, a blazer and loafers.
• Day to night. Style with a cloth coat, a big scarf and crumpled high boots.
• Wear it Balmoral style, with a barn jacket and wellies, as if you were Kate Moss at a festival.
