Graphic tees are back, and if you’re considering adding this classic staple to your wardrobe, might I suggest a chic new-season denim trend to wear alongside it? Courtesy of ’90s It Girl Chloë Sevigny and New York cool girl Dakota Johnson, I’m now convinced that chocolate brown is the chicest jeans colour to pair with graphic tees right now.

Clocking the cool combination, I spotted Chloë out earlier this week wearing a deep navy graphic raglan tee with chocolate brown jeans, cropped and flared just above the ankle. The rich, earthy denim added depth to her playful top, bringing an autumnal energy to her casual look. Finished with loafers—always my favourite footwear choice for a kick-flare silhouette—the jeans and tee pairing felt easy and elevated.

Doubling down, Dakota Johnson was also spotted out wearing chocolate brown jeans this week, this time cut to a slightly baggier silhouette and styled with a black graphic tee. With its rich, chocolatey finish, dark brown denim feels particularly well suited to the colder months ahead; meanwhile, graphic tees offer an easy way to keep the look relaxed.

If you’re inspired by the pairing, read on to shop the brown jeans worth wearing with graphic tees this season.
