Pantone picks Mocha Mousse: Finally, a brown that’s not boring

2025 will be all about grounding, and Pantone's Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, embodies this idea with its rich, earthy elegance. Think of it as the perfect middle ground between comfort and class — a versatile brown that can adapt to any season and every wardrobe. Whether you're drawn to subtle nail art or a statement trench coat, Mocha Mousse offers endless opportunities to express your style.

So, ready to make this shade your new go-to neutral? Here's how to integrate Mocha Mousse from head to toe.

Nails: Minimalism meets warmth

Mocha Mousse nails are your new staple for a polished, minimal look. Whether it's a glossy finish or a matte coating, this shade adds a subtle touch of sophistication. If you want a bit of flair, try geometric nail art by pairing Mocha Mousse with soft beige or a hint of metallic gold for a modern twist.

Clothing: East meets West elegance

Mocha Mousse is the perfect addition to your fusion wardrobe. Imagine a soft, flowy cotton saree or a muslin kameez in this shade — elegant and timeless. Pair it with gold jhumkas or a statement necklace for a look that's sophisticated yet rooted in tradition.

For a casual day out, Mocha Mousse wide-leg pants with a white kurti give you a minimal yet stylish vibe.

Western wear lovers can opt for high-waisted trousers, blazers, or trench coats in Mocha Mousse. This shade works effortlessly with classic colours like beige, black, and even denim. Layering a Mocha Mousse blazer over a white tee and jeans creates a look that transitions easily from a brunch date to a night out in Dhaka.

Makeup: Effortlessly chic

Swap out your standard nude eyeshadow for a swipe of Mocha Mousse on your lids. This shade works beautifully as an everyday neutral or smudged into a soft smoky eye for evening wear. For lips, a Mocha Mousse gloss delivers that 90s-inspired brown lip revival without feeling too retro. It's understated yet impactful.

Accessories: Subtle yet striking

Accessories are the easiest way to dip your toes into the Mocha Mousse trend. A structured handbag or crossbody bag in this shade pairs beautifully with both ethnic and Western outfits. Loafers or ankle boots in Mocha Mousse are versatile enough for the busy streets or a day at the office.

Don't forget scarves — a silk scarf in Mocha Mousse tied around your hair or handbag adds an effortless touch of style. Pair these accessories with gold-toned jewellery for a rich, cohesive look.

Outerwear: Warmth for the Bangladeshi winter

Even though winters in Bangladesh are mild, a lightweight trench coat or longline cardigan in Mocha Mousse will keep you cosy during those cooler evenings. This shade brings a sophisticated twist to your winter wardrobe, making it easy to layer over sarees, kurtis, or jeans. It's a subtle statement piece that ties together any look with elegance.

Make 2025 your most stylish year yet

Mocha Mousse isn't just a colour; it's a vibe. It encourages us to slow down, embrace warmth, and rethink neutrals for our unique Bangladeshi fashion context. From traditional sarees to modern minimalism, this shade effortlessly adapts to whatever style you love. Get ready to make Mocha Mousse the star of your wardrobe and step into 2025 with grounded, chic confidence.
