These trending picks were chosen by VERANDA's editors for Style Report.
A certain shade of a color is one of the easiest ways to feel as though you are instantly elsewhere. Whether it's on the exterior of a building, the hues in your blooming garden, or found in a piece of art, when a color catches your attention, it seems to pop up everywhere after that. Lately, the rich beautiful shade of chocolate brown has been finding its ways into fashion, textiles, and tableware, just to name a few. Here, our favorite picks boasting the beautiful color.
