You probably already own some of these color combos!
It’s official – brown is the it color of the year. Mocha Mousse is a rich, earthy shade of brown that’s being described as grounding, elegant, and comforting. We’re helping you pair this beautiful brown with other colors you already have in your closet.
Stylist Rachel Bagley, with Cardigan Empire, shared three color combos to try out as you explore the world of Mocha Mousse.
Monochromatic Elegance
One way to wear this brown is a monochromatic look. “Probably the most on-trend way to wear Mocha Mousse is a monochromatic,” said Rachel. This approach is elegant and luxurious. However, it can be tricky if brown isn’t your color. Rachel suggested mixing another neutral with it, such as cream.
“Whatever is closest to your face is going to have the biggest impact,” she advised. Adding patterns or textural separations can also enhance the look, making it feel intentional and cohesive.
Mixing with Pastels
If you find a full monochromatic look daunting, mixing Mocha Mousse with pastels can be a great alternative. “Mocha Mousse already has kind of a purpley undertone,” Rachel explained, making it pair well with dusty colors like light blue or pink. These pastel shades complement the brown, and suit a wide range of complexions.
Florals are another fun way to incorporate pastels, as they are easier to wear and can include Mocha Mousse without overwhelming your look.
Adding Bold Colors
If you’re looking to make a statement, pair Mocha Mousse with bold colors like bright oranges, orchids, or reds. “It actually looks really fun and unexpected,” Rachel noted. You don’t need to go overboard; a pop of color on your shoes or purse can be enough to make your outfit stand out. This combination lets you to be bold and creative while still incorporating the color of the year.
