1) Just Peachy
There’s no better way to embrace Pantone’s color of the year than a full-fledged monochromatic outfit, as demonstrated by Jessica Alba herself. She proves she’s on board for this enigmatic shade by donning a tailored top and coordinating bottom. The entire fit is accompanied by a peach overcoat that seamlessly ties this whole look together.

2) Texture
Secondary to the color itself, the ‘fuzz’ is also just as notable. Much like the juicy fruit, you will often see the color of the year paired with textured pieces for a literal take on the trend. This influencer, for instance, artfully styles a peach blazer adorned with a feather trim with lace bottoms. The incorporation of multiple textures adds an eye-catching surface interest to this playful ensemble.

5) Outerwear
If you’re not inclined to embrace an entire peach fuzz wardrobe, opting for an outerwear option is a versatile alternative. This allows you to mix and match with a variety of fits, maximizing its use throughout the year while still staying on-trend with the color of the year. Streetwear enthusiasts will love oversized bomber jackets, while those with a more classic style can derive plenty of wear from a peachy tailored blazer.

6) Accessories
Alternatively, you can utilize accessories as a subtle yet stylish way to embrace the trend. Consider adding a pop of peach with accessories like handbags, shoes, or statement hair accessories to instantly elevate your look. The beauty of this shade is that it can pair with neutral tones or serve as a striking contrast to bolder colors.

7) Knitwear
While we await for the return of spring, peach fuzz sweaters are one of the best ways to adapt this trend into your wardrobe. They offer an effortless way to integrate this vibrant hue into your everyday uniform. From jeans to trousers, a brightly hued sweater is a great way to enhance a look, adding a touch of warmth to your ensemble.

8) Athleisure
We’re firm believers that one of the best ways to stay motivated for a more active lifestyle is by upgrading your workout gear. Peach fuzz tends to evoke feelings of renewal and new beginnings, making it the ideal shade to get you up and moving in. But even if you don’t make it to the gym, leggings and other workout gear are cozy base layers for winter layering. Shop matching peachy yoga sets or mix-and-match with other athleisure in soft pastels.

9) Sheer
The sheer trend is just as prevalent as it was last year. Now, it’s proving to be a new, innovative way to embrace Pantone’s color of the year. Whether it’s a mesh top or a transparent maxi dress, the use of the peach fuzz shade adds a sense of daintiness and delicacy. This pastel color serves to temper the inherent drama of the sheer aesthetic, making it more versatile for daytime wear.

If there’s one thing we’re taking with us from the past year, it’s the feminine urge to embrace your inner girl. Adorning bows and donning princess-inspired dresses is the new norm. It just so happens that peach fuzz is the ideal accompaniment for these feminine frocks. Corset-style midi dresses and flowy skirts in this effervescent color are the much needed upgrade to this aesthetic.
