It’s official, Pantone has named its new color of the year for 2025 Mocha Mousse, and we could not be more excited to work this gem of a hue into our closets. Rich, earthy, and neutral, Mocha Mousse strikes the perfect balance between cozy sophistication and modern versatility, making it an ideal addition to your wardrobe. Here’s why Mocha Mousse deserves a spot in your closet and some ways you can incorporate it into your everyday outfits with ease.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
Unlike fleeting trends, Mocha Mousse is a color you’ll keep reaching for, thanks to its adaptability. It’s cozy enough for winter yet light and airy enough to pair with summer whites. Plus, its timelessness ensures you won’t get tired of it after one season. It’s warm like your favorite cup of coffee with just the right amount of milk to soften its tone, and it looks equally great mixed and layered with other shades of brown as it does paired with brights and even pastels. Here are some pieces to add to your wardrobe in this perfect neutral shade of mocha.
1. Tops & sweaters
From chunky knits to oversized button-ups, it’s easy to embrace Mocha Mousse and instantly update your wardrobe with just one piece. Wear a sweater with jeans or a mini skirt to make this beautiful shade of brown the star of the show or layer with a button-up shirt or cardigan.

2. pants
A pair of Mocha Mousse pants offers a fresh alternative to classic black. Look for them in everything from denim to corduroy and even ultra soft suedes. Pair them with an oversized blazer in another shade of brown to stick with a monochromatic look, or wear them with an ivory sweater or a black turtleneck for another effortlessly stylish outfit.
