Peach Fuzz IN fashion, beauty, interior, and design
Peach Fuzz (PANTONE 13-1023), softly nestled between pink and orange, is centered on the human experience. Its all-embracing spirit enriches the mind, body, and soul, calls for a moment of stillness and sanctuary, and inspires peace and healing from within.
The Pantone Color Institute – the specialist unit that highlights the seasonal runway colors, forecasts global color trends and advises color for product and brand visual identity – believes that this quiet and sophisticated tint depicts one’s desire for belongingness.
“In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance,” Pantone Color Institute Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman shared. “It resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”
Pantone Color Institute Vice President Laurie Pressman elaborated that the Color of the Year is reflective of a global lifestyle trend.
“It is a color we see crossing all areas of design,” she stated. “It serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude on the part of consumers, a color that will resonate around the world, a color that reflects what people are looking for, a color that can hope to answer what people feel they need.”
Fashion designer and industry expert Roxoanne Bagano-Dizon explained that Peach Fuzz aligns with the 2024 fashion trends, with a shared emphasis on comfort, self-care, and mindfulness through soothing tones and relaxed styles.
It conveys a message of tactility and cocooned warmth with a visually arresting approach from apparel to accessories. Sueded, velvety, quilted, and furry textures come on top of the list.
“It evokes a sense of luxurious touch, which we can embrace with sumptuous peaches, delicate marabou feathers, and lustrous vintage satins and silks,” Bagano-Dizon expounded.
To add a touch of serenity to the wardrobe, the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) School of Environment and Design (SED) educator recommended exploring the various shades of Peach Fuzz.
“Discover the one that complements your unique skin tone, allowing you to personalize and enhance your fashion choices,” she added.
Garment options range from sweaters, blouses, or dresses for a soft look. Accessories such as scarves, handbags, or shoes bring a subtle pop while statement pieces like coats, tailored suits, and jumpsuits make for an elegant do.
“Mix and match,” Bagano-Dizon advised. “Combine Peach Fuzz with other complementary options such as soft pastels or earthy tones for a harmonious look.”
Beyond fashion, Peach Fuzz blooms in hair and beauty. Its ethereal touch adds light and warm glow to diverse complexions. Eyes, lips, and cheeks come alive with its versatile pigment, offering endless makeup possibilities.
From sweet nails to cozy interiors, Peach Fuzz fosters tranquility. It graces graphic design, packaging, and even food, whispering of delicate beauty.
As Pantone’s Color of the Year, it reflects a global yearning for peace and connection.
