As the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, it’s the perfects moment to bring some warmth and playfulness into our wardrobes – and the current colour combo is brown and pink. Moving away from the understated tones of last year’s winter trends, including black, beige and white, winter fashion is leaning into more nostalgic pairings that feel both cosy and chic. Brown, particularly shades like ‘mocha mousse’, Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025, and dark chocolate was a dominate colour trend across the 2025 fashion weeks. Pink was also prominent, spanning a spectrum from ‘wispy pink’ to deep magenta. The pairing of the two has been highlighted as an irresistible colour pairing for the season.

On the Autumn/ Winter 2025 runways, designers leaned into this contrast in imaginative ways. At Fendi, delicate, lingerie-inspired blush separates sat alongside plush brown and faux fur, evoking the glamour of old Hollywood. Tory Burch offered a more restrained take: tailored brown jackets layered over silk maxi skirts in muted pastel pinks. And Prado brought a relaxed, slumber party feel by pairing pale-pink, pyjama-like shirts with soft high-waisted cotton shorts. https://www.vogue.co.uk

Ways to wear pink and brown this season. 

You can style pink and brown accessories by focusing on balance, texture and tone. Start with brown as your base, think a chocolate coat, or bag and use pink as highlight for softness and contrast. For example, a brown leather tote paired with a blush silk scarf or rosy toned hat and gloves can brighten up neutral winter layers. Play with materials like suede, faux- fur, stain or chunky knits to add depth. If you’re feeling bolder, reverse the pairing: a pink handbag with brown sunglasses or a caramel belt. The gaol is contrast without clashing- warn rich browns make pink feel elevated and grown-up.
