It’s no secret—this warm and cozy color has been making waves in both fashion and interior design over the past few years. And now, with Pantone naming Mocha Mousse its 2025 Color of the Year, brown has officially solidified its spot in the spotlight. Described as “a warming, brown hue imbued with richness,” this shade offers a comforting nod to the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, perfectly answering our collective craving for comfort.
But brown is more than just cozy—it’s versatile. Unlike black, which can feel stark at times, brown is a color that comes in an array of shades, from camel to burgundy. Chocolate brown, in particular, stands out as a softer, more approachable alternative to black. It’s a color that layers beautifully and works well for most skin tones, where black can sometimes feel harsh, especially on mature skin.
Pair brown with whites, off-whites, or denim for a look that’s fresh, modern, and classic all at once. Want to brighten it up? Add a touch of sparkle! Topaz, champagne, and clear crystals bring out brown’s richness and add depth and life to your outfit.
Brown has always been one of our go-to colors for a timeless look. As we’ve introduced more brown tones into our collection, we’ve noticed a growing love for our smoky topaz earrings—they’ve quickly become a customer favorite and one of our top sellers.
So, is brown the new black? We think so—and we’re here for it!
