Brown is the new black! We'll show you how versatile the Pantone trend color of the year is and how you can combine it like a pro.
Every year, the Pantone trend institute creates a topic of conversation when it announces the “Color of the Year”. This color not only reflects the spirit of the times, but also shapes design and fashion trends.
In 2025, the focus will be on a warm and sophisticated color that could hardly be more elegant: “Mocha Mousse“ – a light brown tone that is timeless, versatile and yet really exciting.
But what makes “Mocha Mousse” a trend color and how do we wear it this year? I browsed through the shops and discovered lots of affordable items that I'm sure you'll love too.

This is how we combine mocha mousse in 2025
Compared to the intense colors of recent years, such as the bold ““ or the soft ““, “Mocha Mousse” can be styled in a particularly versatile way.
My tip: Combine the mocha brown sweater with cream-colored trousers for an elegant tone-on-tone look. If you like something a little more casual, choose jeans in light washes.
Harmonious with this: accessories in gold or a touch of dark blue – both work perfectly with the warm brown tone.

How versatile the color is can also be seen in the beauty sector. Eyeshadow in warm brown or shimmering bronzer in coffee tones create a natural look. “Mocha Mousse” also provides a touch of elegance on the nails when it comes to nail polish.
