collaborative post | PANTONE has decided: the colour of the year is no other than Peach Fuzz. Warm, sweet, unpretentious yet unapologetically feminine, peach fuzz is a total vibe. Officially described as ‘a velvety gentle peach whose all-embracing spirit enriches heart, mind, and body’, peach is all about uniqueness – a signature hue that makes a statement. Looking for ways to incorporate it in your wardrobe this year? Next: 5 cool, effortless ways to rock the colour of the year.
1. Go Big on Accessories
A voluminous scarf that looks more like a blanket in a peach hue – that also comes in a fuzzy texture? Sign us in! Peach looks great when worn in accessories – but statements ones at that. While draping yourself in peach from head to toe might not be the most versatile look, this year, peach accessories are all the rage. Go big or go home with statement accents: from oversized beanies and wrap-scarves for the cool season, to peach coloured XXL sunshades, sneakers and sporty backpacks for the warmer days ahead.
2. Add Peach-Perfect Bling
While it’s not a classic jewel tone per se, peach is trending big when it comes to jewels, gems, crystals and bling as well. Take the elegant route and invest in peach pearls – or another classic gem like tourmaline or morganite. Alternatively, go bold with fantasy jewellery: oversized earrings made of resin or clay, large beads and pendants or cuff bracelets (yes, they’re back).
3. Think Volume and Impact
If you’re all about investing in a few great peach-coloured clothing pieces for the new season, then don’t settle. Go big, opt for volume and make a colour statement – after all, you’re on trend. Channel that inner trendsetter with a peach-hued coat in a retro silhouette – or, why not, an equally peachy puffer jacket to keep you cozy. An oversized sweater in peach hues paired with a classic denim is basically the new pink – so go all in! Alternatively, grab a peach jumpsuit for that upcoming spring party or a statement oversized blazer to layer over a neutral dress in 90s cool girl inspired fashion.
4. Invest in the Perfect Purse
Let’s face it: handbags can either make or break your outfit. So, hop on the trend and stay chic with a peach-perfect handbag that works with everything in your closet. Have versatility in mind and go for a piece that can easily carry you from day to night. Structured is preferred if you are all about function, but you can grab a trending velvet peach purse if you’re more of a fashion afficionado in love with colourful pieces.
5. Think Creatively
Why limit your options to clothes, bags, shawls, bling and pumps? Think outside the box and incorporate peach fuzz in your makeup routine – or your nail routine, at that. After all, peach is the new pastel pink, so say YES to colourful eyeshadow, funky nails and a cool peach lip! Give the reds and the pinks a well-deserved break and explore the peachy shade. And while a bold peach lip may not be everyone’s best friend, there are tons of creative and unexpected ways to incorporate PANTONE’s shade in your look this year.
I love peach! So pretty! 🙂
