Haute on the Ranch: Styling 2025’s “It” Shade

Each year, designers, influencers and fashion enthusiasts everywhere look forward to learning the color forecast that will shape style for the coming seasons. This reveal is courtesy of the Pantone Color Institute, who selects one shade representative of that year's global culture and prospective trends as well as complimentary color palettes.

Drum roll please! The 2025 Pantone Color of the Year is… Mocha Mousse! This soft, yet rich neutral is meant to provide your wardrobe with relaxed elegance: an earth tone that is easy to wear and pair; a level of simple sophistication; and a color that just feels comforting.

While some hues of years’ past might have been challenging for certain skin tones or when it comes to personal preference, mocha mousse offers both versatility and universality. So, how will you incorporate this effortless foundational color into your closet? Savannah Sevens has a few ideas…

Wearing Mocha Mousse

While Mocha Mousse appears to be a subtle shade, it certainly has all the qualities to play the main character in your style story. 

There is a freshness to this tone of brown that is so eye-catching. The color brings warmth and depth, yet is light and airy so it won’t feel like your fit is being weighed down. The richness of the hue looks luxe and refined. And its neutrality goes with most skin tones as well as can easily be incorporated into your own personal style.

Pairing From the Palette

One of Mocha Mousse’s complimenting palettes is a gorgeous range of delicate Cannoli Cream to classic Chanterelle to deep Chocolate Martini. These striking earth tones exude a minimalist vibe, making them perfect to pair together!

Harmonizing With Outside Hues

Mocha Mousse and its color palette are solid additions to your closet because of the ease at which they can mix and match with so many other shades. These natural tones exhibit a timeless quality, giving them so much life in your wardrobe beyond just a couple of looks.
