It looks like Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” influence is carrying into 2025, and we aren’t mad about it. (After all, it was the most-streamed song of 2024.) On December 5, Pantone officially revealed that the Color Of The Year 2025 is Mocha Mousse. This is fabulous because matching your outfit to your coffee order is definitely a vibe.

According to Pantone, this soft taupe-esque hue “presents a discrete and tasteful touch of glamour. A flavorful brown shade, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse envelopes us with its sensorial warmth.” So, how does one style this cozy shade for 2025?
