Not only burgundy and brown: Stylist names most trendy colors of 2025
In 2025, you need to pay attention to unusual color combinations. And if you don't know how to diversify and refresh your wardrobe without changing the basic style, the easiest way to do it is with new shades, tells stylist Alyona Shevchenko.
"The basic principle is a mix of dark, rich, deep shades with light, soft pastels. For example, cold burgundy + pale blue, rich brown + light green pistachio," the stylist wrote in her post.

Burgundy + pink
Burgundy is associated with elegance, strength, and passion, while light pink is associated with softness, harmony, and tranquility.
Burgundy attracts attention and adds confidence to the image. Light pink, on the contrary, is lighter and softer, which helps to balance the richness of burgundy. This combination creates a harmony between drama and tenderness. For example, a burgundy dress can be complemented with light pink accessories, such as a bag, scarf or shoes.
Burgundy also goes well with khaki.

Brown + blue
Brown is associated with nature, warmth and comfort, while blue is perceived as fresh, calm and a bit distant. When these two colors are used together, they create a balanced look in which warmth and cold complement each other.
For example, choose a brown dress with blue accessories (bag, shoes, scarf) - this outfit will look sophisticated and not too bright at the same time.

Brown + pastel green
The combination of brown and pastel green in clothing is a stylish, natural, and harmonious choice that creates a relaxed, cozy atmosphere. These colors belong to the earthy palette, which makes them ideal for creating natural and calm looks.
For example, brown pants with a pastel-colored blouse is a stylish and relaxed outfit for the office or a walk. Or a brown dress with green accents (for example, a belt, bag, or shoes) creates a balanced and interesting look.

Mocha mousse + khaki
As you know, the color of 2025 is Mocha Mousse. Mocha Mousse is a warm, muted shade of brown with light gray notes, reminiscent of the color of coffee with milk. Khaki is a dark green shade with brown and gray impurities, which is often associated with military and camouflage clothing.
The combination of mocha and khaki can be used to create a restrained but stylish outfit for the office or casual meetings. For example, a classic khaki jacket combined with a mocha-moose blouse or sweater will create an elegant and relaxed look that is suitable for business meetings or office settings.
A mocha mousse dress with green accessories (bag, shoes, belt) will look harmonious and restrained, but at the same time add a touch of personality.

Mocha + dusty pink
The combination of mocha and dusty pink in clothes creates an atmosphere of softness and sophistication, while adding a little restraint and depth to the image. Both of these colors are muted, neutral shades, which makes them ideal for creating a harmonious and stylish outfit that is suitable for both casual and more formal situations.
For example, a dress in a dusty pink shade combined with a cardigan or mocha coat creates a harmonious and feminine look that is suitable for both the office and evening meetings.
Mocha pants in combination with a dusty pink blouse or top is a stylish, yet discreet combination for business meetings or casual wear.
