According to Pantone, the 2024 color of the year is a “warm and cozy shade highlighting our desire for togetherness with others or for enjoying a moment of stillness and the feeling of sanctuary this creates. PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz presents a fresh approach to a new softness.”
So, what makes peach fuzz the color of the year 2024? “At a time of turmoil in many aspects of our lives, our need for nurturing, empathy and compassion grows ever stronger as does our imaginings of a more peaceful future. The color we selected to be our Pantone Color of the Year 2024 needed to be one whose gentle lightness and airy presence lifts us into the future,” shared Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute.
The influx of peach fuzz in outfits, accessories and beauty choices is especially interesting as it serves as a palate cleanser for the saturated hues of Barbie pink that ruled 2023. Instead, this muted hue is looking to work its way into your everyday wardrobe choices. Once the remit of sleepovers and bridesmaid fashion, this hue is ready to draw up a seat at the grown-ups table with impactful co-ords for daywear and lustrous eveningwear. In the realm of beauty, this colour will be making its presence felt from peaches-and-cream makeup looks to coral-hued manicures.
