New Year, New You: Embrace the Pantone Color of 2025

The beginning of a new year is a perfect time to refresh, reflect, and start anew. There is something exciting about making a new start and setting the tone for the new year ahead. What we’ve learned is how much our attitude influences the choices we make—including the way we dress and express ourselves.

We have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. And at the start of this New Year, let’s ask ourselves, “Can I be open to new color & style ideas and be positive and grateful for what I do have?”

A customer recently came up to us and said, “I am so tired of wearing black all the time, how can I incorporate color into my wardrobe and change things up for the New Year?” Her openness to trying something new inspired us to share the Pantone Color of the Year for 2025: PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse.

Described by Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, Mocha Mousse reflects “a level of thoughtful indulgence. It’s sophisticated and lush, yet unpretentious—a grounded and aspirational shade that reimagines the timeless elegance of brown.”

Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, further elaborates, calling it “a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and comforting warmth align with our desire for simple pleasures and meaningful connections.”

How to Incorporate Mocha Mousse into Your Style

We suggested to our customer experimenting with neutral tones like Mocha Mousse as a base while adding accents through jewelry and accessories. Here are some easy ways to bring this versatile shade into your wardrobe:

• Start with a mocha-colored sweater or jacket as your go-to staple.
• Pair it with complementary pieces like beige, cream, or earthy tones for a chic, cohesive look.

Jewelry Highlights

Elevate your outfit with gemstone and crystal jewelry that complements the warmth of Mocha Mousse. Here are a few of our favorites:

Adding these pieces brings a touch of elegance and color to any outfit.

Accessorize with Scarves

A scarf is another effortless way to add color and texture. Our Scarf - Cotton & Silk - Beige Red and Black is a versatile accessory that complements Mocha Mousse beautifully.

Our customer left inspired, ready for her new look with confidence. Like her, you too can explore fresh combinations of colors, jewelry, and accessories to transform your style. The beauty of Mocha Mousse lies in its adaptability—it is timeless yet modern and subtle.
