Oxblood and chocolate

Deep reds and dark browns for the cold months.

Oxblood and chocolate pairs deep red tones with dark brown shades for cold weather dressing. Dense wool coats and relaxed flannel shirts balance the warmth of espresso leather with muted burgundy knits. Tailored cuts ground the palette, while heavier textures keep the rich tones from feeling stark against winter light.

Both are old leather colours: oxblood is a classic shade of shoe polish, and brown brogues were once country shoes, kept out of town. Adidas x Wales Bonner explores vintage track silhouettes with refined sportswear trim. MM6 Maison Margiela reworks tailored outerwear through subversive proportions. Enfants Riches Deprimes cuts distressed flannel shirts and relaxed graphic tops informed by punk music.

Utopia in Toronto carries most of it, from Aime Leon Dore and Supreme tops to Goyard bags. WDLT117 and Due West add jackets, knits and shirts in deep brown and burgundy.
