MOCHA MOODBOARD: HOW TO WEAR THE COLOUR OF THE YEAR

By Emma Strawbridge, 6 January 2025

At the end of last year, Pantone announced the colour of 2025: Mocha Mousse. It made sense. From awards shows to the runways and celeb street style, we’ve seen brown make a major comeback recently. According to Tagwalk’s SS25 catwalk report, neutral colours are ruling the runways – 29% of the season’s shows are made up of neutral tones (the only other contender for the top spot was black at 25%, unsurprisingly). With that in mind, we’ve pulled together our top brown picks – style them as one tonal look or as separates. Scroll for inspo.

THE LOOK:

Brown Top

COLLUSION soft touch bardot backless top, £23.99

 

THE TOP
A wardrobe is nothing without basics, and this top from COLLUSION is the perfect example. It’s elevated with an off-the-shoulder silhouette and cutout back, but classic in the fact it’ll go with almost anything.

Brown Trousers

ASOS DESIGN tailored barrel leg trouser in chocolate, £36

 

THE TROUSERS
Tailored shapes are always in, but they’re in more than ever this season. Case in point: Ayo Edibiri’s Julia Roberts-inspired suit at the Golden Globes. Do it in brown with these barrel-leg trousers from ASOS DESIGN. And paired with the fitted top above? No notes.

Brown Boots

River Island suedette heeled boot in dark brown, £44

 

THE SHOES
It’s no secret suede shoes are big right now, so get a pair in the colour of the year and wear them with *everything*. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a pointed toe peeking out from beneath wide-leg trousers, we won’t hear any different.

Brown Bag

Glamorous large faux suede shoulder bag in brown, £28

 

THE BAG
If suede shoes are having a moment, so are suede bags. Suede accessories in general offer a good way to mix up the texture in your looks, especially when it’s tonal. This shoulder bag can be dressed up or down, outfit depending.

Burgundy Belt

Mango leather belt with gold buckle in burgundy, £40

 

THE ACCESSORIES
How to finish off the look? A skinny belt. It'll instantly make your outfit feel more polished, and to add dimension to your look, this one from Mango is in a deep burgundy shade to break up the colour without taking away from the tonality.
