Pantone Colour of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse
How to Style the Mousse colour: The Warm Neutral That Works All Year Round
2025’s Colour of the Year has arrived — and it’s as comforting as your daily dessert. Mocha Mousse is the rich, soft neutral you’ll see everywhere this year, from runway looks to your everyday essentials. At Bamboo Body, we love how this earthy tone flatters every skin tone and slides effortlessly into your existing wardrobe. Ready to see why Mocha Mousse is set to be your new favourite? Let’s explore how to wear it, style it, and make it your go-to for timeless, sustainable fashion.
What is the Pantone Colour of the Year?
Each year, the Pantone Colour Institute selects a Colour of the Year that captures the mood and direction of design and culture. This influential shade is chosen by colour experts who look at trends across fashion, interiors, art, and global events. For 2025, they’ve landed on Mocha Mousse — a warm, chocolatey neutral that feels grounded and reassuring. It’s the kind of colour that brings calm and understated elegance to your wardrobe, while staying versatile enough to wear season after season.
At Bamboo Body, we’re ahead of the game — our Mousse shade was created (and named!) before Pantone brought its pick to life. Whilst it’s nice to be on trend, we believe in timeless, versatile outfits, so we’ll show you how to mix Mousse with other Bamboo Body colours to create looks you’ll wear and love for years.
Watch the video below, where personal stylist Bernadette walks you through her favourite combinations with the Mousse colour.
Combo #1: Mousse + Soft White
Bernadette keeps it fresh and relaxed in the Tilly Pants in Mousse paired with the Terry Relax Boatneck Top in Soft White. It’s a casual, everyday look that blends soft, warm tones for an effortless outfit you can wear on repeat. Perfect for coffee runs, working from home, or lounging in style.
Combo #2: Mousse + Dark Navy
Dark Navy is one of the most versatile colours in our collection, it goes with literally everything. It also adds a touch of sophistication to Mousse, so you can easily dress it up. Take Bernadette’s pick: the Tilly Pants in Mousse with our Bamboo V-Neck Tee in Dark Navy. Or flip it — try the Essential Pants in Dark Navy paired with the Pia Tee in Mousse. Honestly, the combinations are endless, just mix and match to suit your day.
Combo #3: Mousse + Mousse
If you’re feeling bold, try the ultimate combo — Mousse on Mousse. Matching your Mousse pants with a Mousse top creates an effortlessly chic, tonal look. Add a long beaded necklace for a bit of contrast and interest, or throw on an extra layer like our Sahara or Noosa Shirt to break it up while keeping things light and easy.
Combo #4: Mousse + Taupe
For a warm, tonal look, try mixing Mousse with Taupe. Our Taupe shade is made in a thicker terry bamboo fabric that adds structure and warmth — perfect for the cooler months. Together, these colours create that laid-back vibe that’s ideal for travelling, everyday errands, or relaxing at home. Bernadette loves the Terry Relax Boatneck in Taupe, but you can also try the Stevie Top or Voyager Pant in this neutral colourway.
Combo #5: Mousse + Chocolate
Combining two warm tones is always a winner — and Chocolate with Mousse is no exception. The deeper Chocolate shade adds a lovely contrast while keeping the look soft and earthy. And honestly, who can resist something called Chocolate Mousse? Try adding our Waterfall Cardigan in Chocolate over a Mousse outfit like the Essential Pants and Bobby Singlet for an extra comfy lounge look you’ll want to live in.
Combo #6: Mousse + Sahara
Mousse mixes seamlessly with the sandy shade of Sahara — one of our linen favourites. For an easy, breezy look, pair Mousse tops with Sahara Shorts or Pants, or flip it and style Mousse bottoms like the Lana Skirt with the Sahara Shirt. It’s a relaxed summer combo that’s perfect for warm days and effortless layering.
Combo #7: Mousse + Powder Blue
Another summery pairing: Mousse with Powder Blue. These two low-contrast hues create an effortless, breezy look that’s perfect for warm days. Try our Pia Tee in Powder Blue with the Peggy Pants in Mousse — just throw it on and go. Simple, fresh, and ready for anything.
