One thing I ALWAYS get excited for with the debut of a new calendar year? A fresh Pantone Color of the Year!! Obviously I am one to incorporate color whenever + wherever possible, but this one is a fav for many reasons—integrating subtle hues of new colorways into my wardrobe, home, beauty and more.
Before we dive headfirst into the new debut for 2025, let’s take a quick stroll down Pantone memory lane, shall we? For the past few years, I’ve shown all the yearly colors off on the blog. Kicking things off with Illuminating Yellow way back in 2021—pure sunshine in color form, bringing all the bright and happy vibes we needed that year [umm yep, this one was certainly a fav but no surprise there]! Fast forward to 2023, and we had Viva Magenta—a bold combo of my two forever-favorite colors, pink and red [another special place in my heart for that duo = duh!] And then, just last year, Peach Fuzz graced us with its soft, sweet charm—a hue that’s as timeless as it is lovely.
So now onto 2025…were you expecting this one? The newest color to grace us with her presence [cue dramatic drum roll] — Mocha Mousse! This dreamy blend of light brown, taupe and coffee tones radiates warmth and comfort, so it’s perfect to start styling now that it’s chilly. It’s giving all the velvety, soft-to-the-touch vibes, and honestly, I couldn’t be more obsessed even though technically some might say this is on the neutral scale.
So let’s get to shopping!! I first teased this adorable new ensemble last week on stories when I was headed to my photoshoot and the DMs instantly started pouring in asking all the specifics… when it comes to blending style with comfort, my friends at Spanx [use NATASHAXSPANX for 15% off + free shipping] know exactly what they’re doing—and this outfit is proof!
The rich espresso tones of the Air Essentials Half-Zip [wearing XS/runs TTS] and Booty Boost Full-Length Leggings [wearing XS/runs TTS] channel the warmth and sophistication of Mocha Mousse. Layer it up with the ALL NEW AirEssentials Puffy Vest in Smoke [also wearing XS], a soft taupe hue that balances the look perfectly while adding that cozy-chic vibe. This combination is everything you need to stay on-trend and feel fabulous, proving that neutrals can be just as bold as brighter shades! And to finish it off with my go-to fuzzy Dolce Vita Lelani Mules because, well, who doesn’t want to feel like they’re walking on clouds? Mocha goals = achieved!
Ready to embrace more of mocha and channel those cozy, moody vibes??? You know I’ve got you covered… here’s all the inspiration you need! From athletic comfort leggings and Nike sneakers to chic striped sets and pleated button-front dresses, this color is taking over in every single shopping category. Think woven handbags, oversized sunnies, naked2 basics palette, and charming home accents like checkered throws and ceramic vases. Whether you’re styling a monochromatic look or adding mocha touches to warm your space, these essentials will have you ahead of the style game for 2025 in every sense of the word. It’s time to make Mocha Mousse your new neutral obsession for the next year…
