2024’s Color of the Year Is Announced: Peach Fuzz
It’s official: 2024’s color of the year has been announced. Next year, everything will be pretty in Peach Fuzz.
This past year, the “It” color, red, lit a flame in the fashion industry. Now, it seems the color trend is simmering the wild flame into a more romantic candle-lit glow. Peach is, after all, a cousin of the color red. Pantone’s color of the year is a subtle peachy pink, giving the trendy color a sweeter, more feminine touch.
Although there are still a few weeks left before the new year, brands have already adopted the new pink shade into current collections. The pretty peachy pink may seem like a spring girly color, but there are plenty of ways to integrate the color into your wardrobe, even if your style is more masculine.
One of the best categories to begin incorporating a new color into your wardrobe is tops, especially in a solid color. Start with a silk blouse. The soft and airy material allows the blouse to last through all seasons within a year. In addition, silk blouses are easy to layer with a knit or cardigan. A peach silk blouse with wide-leg, high-waisted black trousers makes for a stunning, simple evening outfit. Stella McCartney’s peachy petal pink blouse is a fabulous choice. The material is 100% silk, and the quality of the luxury item in your wardrobe collection will last quite a while.
Another great way to tie in Pantone’s new “It” shade is through accessories. Handbags are approachable accessories to add to a capsule wardrobe, especially if the wardrobe leans more on the neutral side. For example, a classic Bottega Veneta mini Jodie bag in Ribbon adds a subtle pop of color to an overall simple look. The Poléne Numéro Neuf mini in peach is a more affordable alternative option.
Peach may have an overly feminine reputation; however, when added to an outfit through subtle elements like an accessory or a layered top, it highlights the unique element of color in clothing. 2024’s new Peach Fuzz will bring a playful, feminine touch to everyone’s wardrobe.
