Pantone has announced “Mocha Mousse” as the Colour of the Year for 2025, a warm, light brown shade that promotes harmony, peace, and balance. This versatile colour has been prominently featured in various designers’ spring/summer 2025 collections, including Fendi, Acne, and Gucci, solidifying its importance in the fashion industry.

In the last article, I have introduced varies samples from our silk scarf collection (https://www.docsunhomeandliving.com/silk-scarf/) to show how the “Mocha Mousse” colour can be applied in the pattern design. If you are interested in the article, please read it here.
Today, I would like to view it in the reversing way, that is, if you are wearing your outfit in the colour of Pantone 2025, what are best colours of the accessories to go with it? Ur, talking about accessories, please allow me to focus on the (silk) scarves again. After all that’s what we are good at. But hopefully you can also get inspired by these scarves and choose you bags, shoes, necklaces and hats etc in the similar logic.
Neutral Colours with Pantone 2025
- Black and White
While classic neutrals like black, white, and navy have long dominated wardrobes, Mocha Mousse is redefining the way we see brown in fashion. This warm, inviting shade offers a softer, more sophisticated alternative to stark neutrals, blending seamlessly with beige, taupe, and ivory for an effortlessly chic aesthetic. Its growing popularity reflects a shift toward earthier, more grounding hues—turning brown from a background player into a statement of refined elegance. As Leatrice Eiseman (https://www.instagram.com/leatriceeiseman/?hl=en), executive director of the Pantone Colour Institute, notes, brown is no longer just a humble neutral; it’s becoming a symbol of understated luxury and warmth.

According to our silk scarf collection, I would recommend these two samples.
Leopard Print Scarf – This elegant, silky scarf showcases a mocha mousse base adorned with black leopard spots. The edges are finished with a deep black border, adding contrast and refinement. Its soft, flowing fabric and bow shape enhance its luxurious feel, making it ideal for elevating any outfit with a bold yet neutral statement.
Plaid Checkered Scarf – This square scarf features a classic plaid pattern in mocha mousse, black, white, and subtle hints of blue. The neutral beige-brown border adds warmth, making it perfect for pairing with both casual and sophisticated outfits. The structured design gives it a timeless, preppy appeal.
- Blond and brown
I find this inspiring look by applying layers of the same colour range close to Mocha Mouse. A classic remains timeless, and neutral shades like brown effortlessly complement mocha tones. With the model’s blond hair colour and golden accessions, and a hint of bright yellow on the hand band, it creates a harmony but yet bold colour combination.
With this clue, I have fond you the following samples of silk scarf with can go really well with your Mocha Mosse outfit.
This luxurious scarf features a golden-blond base adorned with delicate geometric patterns, framed by a mocha mousse-inspired border with intricate lace-like details. The contrast between the deep mocha elements and the golden tones adds richness, making it a refined yet versatile accessory.
A vintage-inspired piece, this scarf showcases an artistic display of fashion sketches in soft golden hues, complemented by subtle mocha mousse outlines and accents. The delicate interplay of blond undertones and darker detailing gives it a timeless and elegant appeal, perfect for adding a chic, retro touch to any outfit.
Matching Colours to Pantone 2025
Apart the neutral colours, these are also a group of colours which can be used to match Mocha Mousse, the Pantone colour of 2025. These are the ones recommended by the official website of Pantone and I found it very helpful while making colour combinations.
Firstly, this picture is a perfect sample of how to bring non neutral/close colours into a mocha mousse based outfit with a burgundy bag and purple gloves.
This pairing is exactly the type of “aspirational” combo that Eisman referenced. Wine-red is a colour associated with luxury and wealth, helping boost the brown shade further. I also find this scarf in out collection to show the same concept.
This square silk scarf features a striking animal print in wine red and ivory, framed by an elegant mocha mousse and navy border. The rich ‘Wine-red / Burgundy’ tones add warmth and depth, making it a perfect complement to mocha mousse clothing, such as a chic beige trench coat, a soft knit sweater, or tailored trousers. The contrast between bold patterns and classic neutrals creates a sophisticated balance, making the scarf a statement accessory for both casual and formal looks. Pair it with a ‘Wine-red / Burgundy’ handbag or shoes to enhance the colour coordination, or keep it subtle with mocha mousse layers for a refined, effortless elegance.
This vibrant silk twilly scarf is a mix of deep magenta, warm crimson, and light blue, woven into an intricate chain pattern. These hues stand out against the bold orange and regal purple background, adding a luxurious touch.
To pair this with mocha mousse clothing, the warm, neutral colour will balance the scarf’s rich, energetic colours, allowing the chain details to pop while maintaining an elegant and refined aesthetic. You could also tie this scarf around the handle of a mocha mousse handbag or as a hair accessory for a chic, coordinated look!
Have a look at this bold combination of colours. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons presents the cool girl mocha mousse formula for spring/summer 2025. And that’s all about a pop of colour.
Ahh, hold on. I’ve found you this scarf to match this too. This lilac-hued silk scarf features a delicate floral pattern set against an olive green backdrop, framed by a deep forest green border. The interplay of soft lilac, muted pink flowers, and leafy green gives it a romantic yet structured look, making it an elegant complement to mocha mousse clothing.
To create a harmonious outfit, pair this scarf with a mocha mousse trench coat, wide-leg trousers, or a knit dress to let the soft neutral tones balance the pastel lilac accents. The lilac and mocha combination exudes effortless sophistication—enhance the look with taupe accessories, nude pumps, or gold jewellery for a refined, feminine aesthetic. You can also tie the scarf loosely around your neck, wear it as a headband, or attach it to a mocha mousse handbag for a subtle yet elegant pop of colour.
Last but not least, inspired by the green and purple mix, I also find a green and mocha mousse mixed scarf in our collection.
This silk scarf features a geometric pattern in deep green, warm mustard, crisp white, and soft beige, framed by a rich forest green border. The structured, repeating design gives it a classic and sophisticated appeal, perfect for both casual and refined styling.
To match this scarf with mocha mousse clothing, consider pairing it with a mocha-hued blouse, a tailored blazer, or wide-leg trousers to create a warm, earthy contrast. The green and mustard tones in the scarf will add depth to mocha mousse’s neutral elegance, making the look feel refined yet dynamic. Try tying the scarf around your neck in a loose knot, wrapping it around a handbag handle, or styling it as a headband to seamlessly integrate it into your outfit. For accessories, opt for gold jewellery, cognac leather shoes, or an olive-toned belt to enhance the overall aesthetic.
