Consider the classic blue work shirt and a leather mocha trousers is the 2025 version of the white-shirt-black-trousers combo.

Do like Gigi Hadid and break the monotony of the brown with pops of bright colours like pink, red, yellow but we recommend that you stick to just one bright colour in an ensemble.

Due to the varied pantone shades of brown, this is perhaps one of the easiest (and most sophisticated) colours to work a colour-blocking fit. Make mocha mousse your key look perhaps a blazer or a pair of trousers and work the rest of the separates around it.
