When Pantone announces its colour of the year, it sets the tone for fashion, beauty, home and food trends for the months to come. Last year, it was Peach Fuzz, and for 2025, expect Mocha Mousse to take over. Described as ‘a warming, brown hue imbued with richness’, it evokes the comforting nature of chocolate and coffee. So if you’re ready to add that dose of comfort to your life, keep scrolling to shop Oxford Street’s best Mocha Mousse buys.
Mocha Mousse womenswear
As Pantone says, its colour of the year ‘captures the global zeitgeist’ and expresses ‘a global mood’. So if you’re ready to get the Mocha Mousse makeover, then there are plenty of rich brown fashion items you can buy on Oxford Street. You can go all in by wearing the hue head-to-toe, or you can dip your toe in the trend by incorporating a single item (for example a jumper or skirt) into your existing wardrobe.
Mocha Mousse accessories
As mentioned before, the easiest – and safest – way to dip into the Mocha Mousse trend is to invest in accessories that will go with everything else you own. The beauty of a brown handbag or boots is that they will go with a plethora of other hues, from neutral beige and black to richer shades like burgundy and orange.
Mocha Mousse menswear
Men needn’t be left out, there are plenty of great brown menswear items to be bought on Oxford Street. We particularly like this worker jacket from Urban Outfitters, suede trainers from Vans, corduroy shirt from Superdry, brown watch from Swatch and wool trousers from BOSS.
Mocha Mousse beauty
Mocha Mousse lends itself really well to makeup trends. Think a brown smokey eye, glossy chocolate lips or even brown mascara, which is a surprisingly great alternative to traditional black. If you aren’t big on statement makeup, try chocolate or coffee-inspired skincare. We love Lush’s chocolate body wash and The Body Shop’s guarana and coffee energizing moisturiser for men.
Mocha Mousse homeware
The newly-opened Ikea pop-up store on Oxford Street is the perfect place to start shopping for Mocha Mousse homeware. These brown glasses will add a touch of warmth to your dinner table. Not convinced? At John Lewis, you can pick up a rug that will give your home serious Hygge vibes. M&S have some fluffy towels in several shades of brown, Matalan, a leafy plant in a brown jug and T.K.Maxx, a beautiful accent chair.
Mocha Mousse food
Since Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025 is inspired by coffee and chocolate, it would be rude not to include brown food (the best kind, if you ask us) in our round-up. So without further ado, we recommend you add Flying Tiger’s chocolate hearts, Holland & Barrett’s hazelnut hot chocolate melts, Nespresso’s coffee capsule collection, Bialetti’s Moka ground coffee and Coop’s Mocha fudge sauce to your shopping list. You won’t regret it.
