Every year, color experts forecast hues that capture the mood and aspirations of the world. For 2025, Pantone has crowned PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as its Color of the Year. This warm, rich brown is as comforting as a mug of hot chocolate 🍫 or a fresh-brewed coffee ☕, bringing feelings of connection and harmony 🤎. According to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, Mocha Mousse is “sophisticated and lush, yet unpretentious,” proving brown is anything but boring—it’s aspirational and luxurious ✨.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Other color authorities have chimed in with their picks for 2025. PPG and Glidden named Purple Basil, a dramatic mix of red and blue tones, as their Color of the Year 💜. Bold and expressive, it signals a trend towards individuality and creative design.

Both shades inspire a return to life's simple pleasures 🌟, whether it’s the indulgence of a chocolate dessert or the bold statement of a jewel-toned outfit. Here at Squeem, we love how these colors celebrate sophistication and confidence, just like the qualities we see in our fans every day. Why not take a cue from 2025’s palettes? Pair your favorite Mocha Mousse or Purple Basil pieces with your go-to Squeem shapewear for a chic, put-together look that’s ready to take on the new year in style 👏.
