Hue of the year!

HYDERABAD: Kindness and compassion are the two forms of warm and modern elegance which is portrayed by Peach Fuzz, a velvety and gentle peach tone whose all embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul, which has been chosen as the Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2024. Pantone, the global authority on colour, has announced its much anticipated Colour of the Year for 2024: Peach Fuzz recently.

Embracing the warmth of peach tones infused with a soft, fuzzy undertone, this hue symbolises optimism, creativity, and a renewed sense of connection in a rapidly changing world. Each year, Pantone’s Colour of the Year sets the tone for design, fashion, and creative industries, influencing trends and aesthetics across various sectors.

Peach Fuzz, with its gentle yet vibrant essence, is poised to make a significant impact on the fashion industry and beyond. Peach Fuzz embodies a delicate balance between softness and vibrancy. Its pastel like quality exudes a calming effect, while its underlying warmth adds a touch of energy and vitality.

This nuanced hue evokes feelings of comfort, playfulness, and a sense of fresh beginnings. In fashion, Peach Fuzz is expected to make appearances in spring and summer collections, bringing a refreshing yet comforting touch to wardrobes. Its adaptability allows for seamless integration into both casual wear and high end fashion pieces.

“I would style Peach Fuzz outfits with accessories of either champagne gold if I’m playing it safe or a nice turquoise line up if I am feeling adventurous. I have been very inclined towards turquoise recently, so that would be my first choice. A nice coral and turquoise blend for the jewellery and a suede turquoise leather bag with some tassels along with turquoise heels would be my first choice,” shares Sabista Khan, shoe designer and singer.

Elaborating about how Indians can include it in their wardrobe, Pinky Rai, Head of Design, TIGC, says, “For women, start by incorporating Peach Fuzz into your wardrobe with key essentials like blouses, dresses, or skirts. Peach Fuzz pairs beautifully with neutrals like whites, creams, and beiges, creating a soft and feminine look.

Embracing the colour of the year, Peach Fuzz is a fantastic way for both Indian men and women to infuse their wardrobes with style and personality. Whether it’s through clothing, accessories, makeup, or grooming, incorporating this warm and inviting hue into your daily fashion choices allows you to express yourself with confidence and panache.

So, go ahead and flaunt your Peach Fuzz inspired looks with pride.” On the jewellery front, Piyush Gupta, Director at PP Jewellers by Pawan Gupta, shares, “We are excited about this colour ‘Peach Fuzz,’ for the year 2024 as it signifies a celebration of individuality and subtle sophistication.

“Peach Fuzz symbolises the fusion of innovation and tradition, and we, at Brune & Bareskin, are excited to translate this into our premium leather shoes and accessories.
