This year, suede bags and jackets are an absolute must-have, especially in the trendy colors chocolate brown and cognac. However, according to Pantone, this color palette will evolve in the coming year.
Mocha Mousse, a soft medium brown shade with hints of nude and peachy pink, was named the Color Institute’s Color of the Year for 2025. A look at the catwalks shows that Mocha Mousse is particularly suitable for maxi dresses. This is reflected in the romantic creations for Chloé by designers such as Rosey Aphrodina and Chemena Kamali. The new trend color is also used in silky materials, for example by brands such as Jacques Wei, Dries van Noten, Carolina Herrera and Balmain. Jacquard fabrics in this shade can be seen at labels such as Etro, Sarawong and Asiyam.
In addition, retro-inspired designs from Prada, Emporio Armani and Etro rely on the mocha tone. Accessories and leather shoes in Mocha Mousse round off the trend, as collections from JW Anderson, Miu Miu, Le Silla, Giuseppe Zanotti, Prada, Pollini and Zimmermann impressively demonstrate.
