3 Shades of Need-Now Browns

Espresso, Toffee, and Cinnamon Brown — the must-have, essential neutrals of the season. 

Fall is in full swing and rich, saturated, anything-but-black-neutrals are in high demand.

These earth tones can elevate and transition a wardrobe that tends to rely on basic black or white with an unexpected pop of color — only here, we stick to natural hues that won’t pull the wearer out of their comfort zone. Who said a pop of color needs to be bright to feel bold?

If you tend to stick to a standard spectrum of shades, we invite you to begin your color experimentation with 3 trending new neutrals. These perfectly formulated hues provide just enough brightness and autumnal seasonality to refresh your wardrobe in a way that leaves the pumpkin spice to your coffee.

But don’t get us wrong — whether you wear Alo for yoga, training, or every day, these browns are anything but basic (and way more yummy).

CINNAMON BROWN

Like a fresh baked gingerbread cookie, the rich neutral, Cinnamon Brown looks and feels like a warm hug. This spicy shade, when worn from head-to-toe, satisfies the need for neutral in a way that’s a little different from your standard all-black uniform.

THE VIBES:
Warm
Rich
Elevated

FAVE STYLES:

Aspen Love Puffer Jacket — If you’re heading anywhere cold this season you’ll need an ultra warm and breathable puffer. The Aspen Love Puffer sits right at the hip to keep your midsection warm while still showing off your Jacquard High-Waist Glenplaid Flutter Legging.

Airbrush Physique Onesie – The Airbrush Physique Onesie is the ultimate put together look for working out or wearing out. Made with sculpting Airbrush fabric, it supports and lifts every inch of your body. We love it solo, with a cool bomber jacket, blazer or sherpa piece.

TOFFEE

If you’re ready to fall in love with a new neutral, meet Toffee. This brighter, upgraded brown is a universally flattering neutral we’re offering in functional silhouettes with retro appeal that go way beyond athletic apparel. Trust us — you don’t want to sleep on Toffee.

THE VIBES:
Universally Cute
Studio-To-Street Approved
Upgraded Neutral

FAVE STYLES:

Micro Corduroy High Waist Winter Break Flare Pant – This pant is a velvet lover’s dream. Only Alo’s signature velour sculpts way better than your average fabric. It’s like a warm hip opener with every step (which is why they’re also our fave date night pant right now). Take them dancing or ice skating with the matching top and a vest. Nailed it.

Micro Corduroy Winter Break Mock Neck – Layer this retro half zip crop with the High Waist Winter Break Flare Pant and a bomber jacket or vest for a put together look that keeps you warm to the core in velvety-soft performance fabric.

ESPRESSO

Sometimes it’s the brunettes that have more fun. Case and point: Espresso easily pairs with any other neutral in your wardrobe. It offers an ultra-elevated vibe that looks rich, cool and understated all at once.

THE VIBES:
Cool
Posh
Wearable

FAVE STYLES:

The Gold Rush Puffer– We love the cinched bottom on this luxe, cold-weather puffer — it keeps you toasty from the waist up no matter what you have planned. A hidden interior zipper & side-entry, zippered pockets keep you and your essentials secure without looking overfilled.

Renown Cropped Button-Up Pullover– A new cropped sweater in ultra-comfy fabric? Say more. This essential pullover features front pockets for functionality and style, while thick and breathable French terry keep you comfortably warm. Pairing it with any piece of Airlift, Airbrush, or loungewear is a no brainer. Add a functional Explorer Fanny Pack to tie the look together, and you’re killing it.
