The Best Peach Fuzz Fashion Pieces to Kick Start 2024
Here’s how you can jazz up your wardrobe with Pantone’s ‘Color of the Year’ for 2024.
Recently unveiled as Pantone’s ‘Color of the Year’ for 2024, Peach Fuzz (also known formally as Pantone® 13-1023) is the colour to watch. Pantone is the globally recognised authority for all things colour, and with their pick for 2024 as Peach Fuzz, this soft apricot shade needs to find a spot in your wardrobe.
The Peach Fuzz hue is a delicate balance of a muted, soft orange with light pink undertones. Blended with the vibrant tones of orange, it possesses an energetic vibe that transcends the neutrals but is grounded by its nude layers. So here’s how you can add some welcome Peach Fuzz pieces into your 2024 closet rotation, so you can ride the colour trend your own way.
Certain luxury brands have already incorporated this lovely peachy shade into their Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Take it from Simone Rocha, who crafted a monochromatic patent leather dress with matching ties under the bust, or from Molly Goddard who took on a layered multi-fabric one-piece. The Peach Fuzz tone found its way onto fluffy organza and a structured tonal jumpsuit. Stella McCartney also came out with various dresses in this principal shade, showing you exactly how versatile Pantone’s ‘Color of the Year’ can be. Australian label SIR also has a soft, Peach Fuzz-infused dress that leans more into the beachy beige tones, if your wardrobe is lacking in that department.
If you’re not ready to take the plunge with the all-over Peach Fuzz look yet, you can always take cues from Bottega Veneta who chose to use the colour on a soft leather scarf, creating a striking contrast with a deep blood-red dress of the same fabric. Or lean into Versace’s printed ensemble that juxtaposes the sweet vibrance of Peach Fuzz with another pastel tone, for an all-round adorable look. Gucci’s cropped trousers that feature a subtle monogram would also be an easy segue into rocking the mellow coral.
For separates, Victoria Beckham is a strong contender, with different glamorous Peach Fuzz options. For a more formal, elevated event, the metallic chiffon shirt is a game-changer, for its sparkly peachy hue that’ll be stunning under the light. If you’re more of a party gal, the muted orange tones of Victoria Beckham’s asymmetrical halterneck top will make sure you stand out from the crowd. AMI Paris’ plaid shacket (that’s a shirt jacket) is the perfect casual separate to add to your everyday wardrobe. The oversized shacket is a great understated way to embrace the essence of Peach Fuzziness into your life.
When it comes down to accessories, bags are our best friends for the muted apricot tones. We absolutely loved the furry, metallic maximalism of Vivienne Westwood’s small purse from SS24, along with The Row’s woven large carry-all tote. Milan-based brand Themoirè also has a weaved two-tone clutch that marries the natural feel of straw with more polished materials. With an all-over soft coral, Charles & Keith’s tubular bucket-shaped bag is an affordable option, so you can shop local while still appreciating the Peach Fuzz trend.
