Crowned 2025’s color of the year, keep scrolling to see how to weave this chic neutral into your wardrobe.
What is Mocha Mousse?
The Pantone Color Institute has crowned Mocha Mousse (or PANTONE 17-1230) as 2025's Color Of The Year. This warm, earthy brown, inspired by the rich tones of chocolate and coffee, follows the interior design and beauty crowds in their embrace of natural, calming colors. Pantone describes 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 and leopard are still big favorites, it’s the mellower version that's taking off this year. Looking for ways to weave this hue into your weekly looks? Keep scrolling for our top Primark picks and ways to wear.
How To Style Mocha Mousse: The Blazer
The easiest way to test run the Mocha Mousse trend? A blazer. Its versatility with workwear, casual daywear and dressier evening looks makes it the perfect piece to try with your current faves. Treat it like a black or gray blazer: wear with a white tee or shirt, light, dark and white wash denim, and even printed dresses and skirts. Don’t be afraid to wear it with brown-based prints — tonal looks are still IN.
