It's official: The Pantone Color of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse. The color experts at Pantone describe the shade as a "soft, warming brown" that captures "a global mood of connection, comfort and harmony." The hue is reminiscent of creamy coffee and milk chocolate, so naturally, it's a decadent, rich shade.
Mocha Mousse is a departure from the much bolder Colors of the Year that Pantone has selected lately. For the last four years, the title has gone to bright, vivid hues including Peach Fuzz (2024) and Viva Magenta (2023). According to the New York Times, Pantone hasn't chosen a shade of brown as its hero color in over two decades.
If you're interested in adding the Color of the Year to your wardrobe, there's good news: Mocha Mousse couldn't be more versatile or approachable. Beautiful on its own, it also pairs well with creams and soft taupes. But that doesn't mean you must keep your closet to neutral shades — Pantone notes that Mocha Mousse also shines next to floral hues like cornflower blue and rose. Whether you're after a full monochromatic look or want to add some subtle accessories to your rotation, the trending color is available at retailers like Quince, Old Navy and Madewell. Keep scrolling to shop the Mocha Mousse-inspired style finds we're eyeing for the season.
Everyone needs a cozy turtleneck for the winter, and this 100% wool style from Quince is one of our favorites. It's moisture-wicking, odor-resistant and breathable, so you won't overheat.
