Pantone’s Colour Of The Year reveal is like the Spotify Wrap of fashion. And this time, Mocha Mousse has been announced as the IT colour that everyone will be wearing. Despite the revolution of Charlie XCX’s Brat Summer in the year 2024, most of us found ourselves wearing something completely different. Whether you’ve noticed it or not, a hint of taupe brown has been swinging on the ramp a lot.
Laurie Pressman, VP of the Pantone Colour Institute said, “A mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.”
While brown tints are frequently an afterthought, overshadowed by other neutral tones such as black, white, or navy, this year’s popularity of chocolate brown has demonstrated that the unassuming shade can be rather groundbreaking. Even though it’s plain, which has not been the choice of Pantone in a long time, we can make it work.
Before you start planning your 2025 wardrobe, here’s a complete guide to wearing Pantone’s Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse.
1. Classic White Shirt With Hot Pants
The year 2025 is going to be the year of no pants. A classic buttoned-down shirt with a pair of short shorts and you would be good to go. Wear a coat on top for winter. A classic minimalist look.
2. A Hint Of Wine Red
We know you think the colour might be a little bland for your taste, but hear us out, a mocha mousse trenchcoat for the winters with a hint of gold jewellery paired with a wine-red bag would be a great option for the old-money aesthetic girlies. This will bring up the warm and fuzzy winter feels along with a touch of fashion. You can even pair them up with your favourite wine-coloured ballet flats.
3. A Pop Of Colour
No matter what you think about neutral colours, pairing them with a pop colour will always bring out the best outfits. Pair your mocha mousse ensembles with hints of pink, mustard, and green to enhance them and that way you can give it a touch of your own.
4. Mocha Mousse Dresses
A brown dress never hurts and that’s exactly what we are going to do. A mini dress, lace frock, asymmetrical dress, we are going all out with our one-pieces. This kind of ensemble will make it easy for you to incorporate without doing much.
5. Jackets/ Sweaters
Black is the usual hue for outerwear, but consider a warmer, lighter tone, such as mocha mousse. A matching bag and leggings in a similar colour scheme are great accents.
6. Make It Monochrome
A classic is a classic for a reason, and wearing neutral tones like brown from head to toe is a tried-and-true method. A mocha-coloured sweater and knit maxi skirt can be your 2025 spring uniform, enhanced by burnt brown booties, a leopard print handbag, and gold accessories.
7. Accessorise Mocha Mousse
Make your bags, shoes, etc the Pantone Colour Of The Year and you are good to go!
