What Is the Colour of the Year for 2025?
Pantone named Mocha Mousse as its Colour of the Year for 2025. Were you surprised, or did you see it coming?
While brown is often overshadowed by classic neutrals such as black, white or navy, chocolate brown had been making waves. Mocha Mousse proved its place as a contemporary staple: a colour that brings soothing comfort while staying elegant and versatile.
What Is Special About Brown?
This rich brown feels timeless because of its close connection to other beloved tones, such as chocolate brown and tortoiseshell, like our Tortoiseshell Hair Claw Clip. It is easy to bring into your wardrobe, and pairs beautifully with other neutrals such as cream, tan and deeper browns. For a lovely contrast, try our Extra Large Barrette Clip in Vanilla.
Which Colours Complement Brown?
Pantone also suggested that Mocha Mousse works well with nature-inspired shades, particularly soft pinks, purples and greens. A softly coloured claw clip can add a touch of elegance here. Do not be afraid to experiment: Mocha Mousse is a versatile colour that can anchor an outfit while letting complementary shades shine.
Is It Okay to Wear Different Shades of Brown?
Absolutely. Pairing brown with other browns creates a chic, tonal look. Our Essential French collection includes classic tortoiseshell pieces, perfect for finishing a light brown outfit. If you are unsure where to start, tortoiseshell is always a versatile choice that complements almost any outfit.
Key Takeaways
When styling Mocha Mousse, embrace how easily it pairs with both neutrals and pastels. Next time you reach for a chocolate brown outfit, consider adding a soft cream accessory from our French Handmade collection, or a gentle pastel accent. Together they create an effortlessly polished look.
