As Pantone names “Mocha Mousse” the 2025 Color of the Year, it’s time to embrace brown. The Pantone Color Institute describes Mocha Mousse as a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.
While Mocha Mousse is having a moment, all variants of brown are poised to shake up the way we style earthy tones. Embracing this warm neutral is a great way to update your wardrobe this coming season. For a softer look, pair it with tones like caramel and taupe. Or, make a statement by offsetting it with crisp whites or colorful accents—think bright blue or bold yellow. Any way you rock it, this trend-forward shade is your ticket to standout style in 2025.
