5 Ways to Incorporate the Next Pantone Shade of the Year Into Your 2025
It's official. Pantone has declared 2025's Color of the Year as Mocha Mousse, a creamy, milk shade of brown. As the brand declares, it "nurtures with its suggestion of delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort."
Next year, you can embody this aura of opulence and tranquility by incorporating Mocha Mousse into your everyday. Below, discover five ways you can make the most of the swatch, from fashion to dessert.
A '90s-Inspired Brown Lip
What screams soft brown more than the '90s? In 2025, make the most of Mocha Mousse with a chic, retro brown lip look. You can't go wrong with liner enhanced with a pinky nude flush of color in the center. Or, channel your witchy vibe with a brown lipstick.

Swapping Black Leather for Brown
Usually, we'd only go for black leather, but with the popularity of Mocha Mousse in the next year, we're more than happy to experiment with brown leather. It looks equally as fashionable while offering elegance over edge.

If you've been searching for a new hairstyle, let Mocha Mousse inspire you. Chocolate brown is a timeless shade and requires less damage than bleaching to a platinum blonde. Besides, we know brunettes are the ones that really have more fun.

A Chocolate Brown Mani
We're calling it now. We're going to see a rise in chocolate brown manis. The milky hue adds more character than your standard black polish, but it's so much more unique than burgundy. Plus, you can really fit it into any season with the right design.
