Whether you're conscious of it or not, colour is a big part of every purchase you make. Pantone knows this, which is why every year it touts a 'Colour of the Year' as the hue that will drive trends in fashion, interior design, art and beyond. But unlike narrow fashion trends such as a certain pair of 'it' sneakers or a specific cut of jeans, the Colour of the Year is something anyone and everyone can work into their wardrobe and/or day-to-day life effectively. This year, its a light, creamy brown dubbed 'mocha mousse' that's taking centre stage. Here are ten of our favourite items for embracing it in style.

RoToTo Slub Stripe Socks

The humble sock, elevated. RoToTo has built a reputation for crafting knitwear that combines heritage techniques with thoughtful design, and these slub stripe socks in mocha mousse are no exception. Made in Japan with a tactile, uneven texture that feels luxurious underfoot, they boast a striped pattern subtle enough to work with everything from loafers to hiking boots. The real charm lies in the details – the muted tones and quality of the knit suggest these aren’t just socks; they’re an investment in daily comfort.

New Balance 992

New Balance’s 992 might have been catapulted into fame by a certain Apple CEO, but this shoe is more than a tech-world icon. It’s the poster child of dad-sneaker cool, blending premium suede and mesh uppers with plush cushioning that makes every step a joy. The retro aesthetic is balanced by modern performance, and the chunky silhouette pairs as easily with selvedge denim as it does with tailored trousers. A versatile classic that proves comfort and style don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Satisfy Rippy Trail Shorts

If running gear feels uninspired, Satisfy’s Rippy Trail shorts are here to shake things up. Combining technical fabrics with a design ethos that leans into subversive style, these shorts are lightweight, breathable, and finished in mocha mousse with raw hems for a distinctly undone edge. Practical features like a moisture-wicking liner and discreet storage pockets make them trail-ready, while the aesthetic invites you to wear them far beyond the beaten path. Functional, rebellious, and utterly cool.

Frame Suede Bomber

This is the jacket that bridges the gap between casual and refined. Frame’s suede bomber, crafted from buttery-soft suede in a timeless taupe shade, is a masterclass in understated luxury. The minimalist detailing – ribbed trims, a clean zip front, and slim silhouette – makes it endlessly versatile, whether you’re throwing it over a plain tee or pairing it with a roll-neck jumper. It’s the kind of piece that whispers quiet sophistication rather than shouting for attention.

Asket Lightweight Tee

Asket’s lightweight tee might just ruin you for all other T-shirts. Woven from 100% organic cotton, it’s designed to be soft, breathable, and impossibly comfortable, particularly when the temperature starts to rise. Its slim but not clingy fit ensures it layers well under tailoring but shines equally as a standalone staple. Available in a range of muted tones, it epitomises Asket’s mission to create sustainable, everyday essentials that you’ll reach for on repeat.

Artknit Studios Cashmere Scarf

The Artknit cashmere scarf in mocha mousse takes something as practical as winter insulation and turns it into an indulgence. Spun from regenerated cashmere, it’s not only luxuriously soft but also a nod to responsible production practices. The natural brown hue feels earthy and timeless, while the weight strikes the perfect balance between warmth and wearability. Whether it’s draped over a wool overcoat or tucked into a parka, it’s the kind of piece you’ll want to keep close all winter.

Yeti Rambler

It might be designed to keep your coffee hot, but the Yeti Rambler is so much more than a glorified thermos. With double-wall vacuum insulation and a no-sweat design, this is a travel mug that performs. The stainless steel body is practically indestructible, while the MagSlider lid ensures spills are a thing of the past. Whether you’re navigating the commute or setting out on a weekend hike, this sleek piece of kit will keep your drink at the perfect temperature.

Fjällräven Expedition Lite Jacket

Fjällräven has taken the DNA of its iconic Expedition Jacket and reimagined it in a lighter, more wearable form. The Expedition Lite retains the brand’s signature puffer silhouette, now updated with 100% recycled synthetic insulation that’s both eco-friendly and efficient. Its boxy cut and bright colour options nod to the 1970s original, but the reduced bulk makes it an ideal everyday layer for winter. Equal parts practical and nostalgic, it’s a cold-weather companion built to last.

Velasca Venosa Flannel Shirt

This isn’t your average flannel. Velasca’s Venosa shirt offers a tailored take on the winter staple, swapping out rugged lumberjack vibes for refined Italian craftsmanship. The soft, brushed cotton feels warm without being heavy, while the subtle checks and slim fit elevate it to something decidedly smarter. Tuck it into pleated trousers for a polished look, or wear it open over a tee for a more relaxed feel. Either way, it’s flannel with a distinctly sophisticated edge.

Wax Raleigh Pleated Trousers

Wax London’s Raleigh pleated trousers are proof that tailoring doesn’t have to be stuffy. Cut from a soft herringbone fabric in a versatile light brown shade, they strike the perfect balance between structure and comfort. The pleats add a touch of vintage-inspired charm, while the tapered fit ensures they feel thoroughly modern. Dress them up with a shirt and loafers, or pair them with chunky trainers and a crewneck for a more laid-back approach.
