Trending: How to wear Mocha Mousse
Named as 2025’s colour of the year, keep scrolling to see how to weave this chic neutral into your wardrobe.
What is Mocha Mousse?
The Pantone Colour Institute have selected Mocha Mousse (or PANTONE 17-1230) as the colour of the year for 2025. This warm, earthy brown shade, inspired by the rich tones of chocolate and coffee, follows the interior and beauty industries in their embrace of natural and calming colours. Pantone describe it as, “sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, … Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.”
While chocolate brown styling and leopard print outfits have become firm favourites within our wardrobe, it’s the mellower iteration that is gaining popularity this year. Looking for ways to weave this hue into your weekly outfits? Keep scrolling for our top Primark picks and ways to wear.
How to style Mocha Mousse: the blazer
Perhaps the easiest way to test run the Mocha Mousse trend in your wardrobe is a blazer.

Treat it as you would a black or grey blazer and team with a white tee or shirt, light, dark and white wash denim, and even printed dresses and skirts. Don’t be afraid to team with brown-based prints — tonal outfits are still IN.
