It's fun watching the shift from summer’s vibe, which was all about optimism and play according to Pantone— juicy peaches, fresh lime creams, soft blues, and coral brights that felt like your favorite vacation memory.
Fall flips the mood: moving into romantic jewel tones, rustic browns, and moody teals and purples. Think less spritz by the pool, more candlelit dinner with velvet cushions.
Basically, summer was your beachy cocktail, while fall is your spiced mulled wine. Both delicious, but totally different energy.
Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Colour of the Year, threads through both seasons, acting as the chic neutral that ties everything together.
Here’s the collection, plus how to actually wear it:
-
π Lemon Grass – A zesty, floral green with a touch of citrus.
How to wear it: Try it in a silk blouse with tailored trousers, or as a playful handbag to freshen up darker outfits. -
π Brandied Melon – A muted orange with a cozy, spicy vibe.
How to wear it: Perfect in chunky knit sweaters or wide-leg pants — basically pumpkin spice, but chic. Have last year's spice in your wardrobe? top it with a Brandied Melon vest for a quick update. -
π Lyons Blue – A luxurious teal-blue that screams sophistication.
How to wear it: Invest in a Lyons Blue trench or blazer. It pairs effortlessly with neutrals like beige, grey, and of course, Mocha Mousse. -
π Damson – A dramatic purple with a moody, jewel-tone richness.
How to wear it: Go bold in a solid colour dress for evening, or add depth in a print or through accessories like scarves and gloves. -
πΈ Primrose Pink – A delicate blush that softens fall’s intensity.
How to wear it: Pair a Primrose Pink knit with tailored charcoal trousers, or use it to balance dark brown tones. -
π· Winterberry – A sultry, berry red that feels cozy and festive.
How to wear it: Think cozy sweaters, wrap dresses, or lipstick that pulls a whole look together. -
πΆ Chili Oil – A fiery, robust red that turns heads.
How to wear it: Rock it in a leather skirt or statement heels when you want instant power dressing. -
πΉ Poppy Red – A celebratory, joyful red with real punch.
How to wear it: Use as your pop piece — a handbag, coat, or tailored suit that screams confidence. -
π« Hot Chocolate – Deep, indulgent brown with comforting warmth.
How to wear it: Your new everyday neutral. Try it in wide-leg trousers, a knit turtleneck, or buttery leather boots. -
π₯ Bronze Brown – A burnished, golden brown that adds shine.
How to wear it: Gorgeous in metallic fabrics, handbags, or jewelry-style accents — like a shimmery evening skirt.
And weaving through all of this? Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Colour of the Year — the neutral that grounds everything from Poppy Red to Lemon Grass. Think of it as your wardrobe’s espresso shot.
