VMAN SEA's Complete Guide to Styling Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year

Pantone has finally revealed their prediction for the prominent color to dominate fashion, interiors, and vanity in 2025: Mocha Mousse.

This cool-toned brown, reminiscent of the dessert, is a versatile neutral that’s surprisingly easy to incorporate into any wardrobe. Here’s our guide to effortlessly bringing Mocha Mousse into your aesthetic.

1. All Out

You can never go wrong with a monochromatic look. A full Mocha Mousse ensemble—such as a suit in this rich shade, paired with variations of the color for your inner layers and accessories—will immerse you in this rising trend. If you want your look to feel more dynamic, consider adding a pop of color to make it more interesting.

2. Leather Play

Leather goods in Mocha Mousse are easy to find, as this is one of leather’s primary shades. Start with shoes in this color, paired with a matching belt. If your pants don’t have belt loops or if you prefer a more casual look, consider a bag instead to complement your shoes.

3. Accents

A typical approach to using neutral colors is to incorporate a pop of color as an accent. For this upcoming trend, try using Mocha Mousse as your accent color to make it truly stand out. Start by building your ensemble with bold colors as the base, then top it off with a Mocha Mousse jacket to complete the look.

4. Color Blocking

Color blocking is one of the most effective styling tricks, and with a neutral like Mocha Mousse, it’s easy to create a balanced look by segregating colors. You can opt for color-blocked garments or create your own triadic scheme by using Mocha Mousse as a base, paired with two bold colors of your choice.
