How to Add Pantone’s Color of the Year 2024 ‘Peach Fuzz’ to Your Eyewear

In the wake of last year’s color of the year, Viva Magenta, Pantone has opted for a softer route for 2024. Choosing serenity over loudness, last week Pantone announced the Color of the Year for 2024, Peach Fuzz.

The announcement has already sparked conversation online, and as eyewear experts, we love translating color trends into frames. While we’re positive that we’ll have more frame iterations on the hue coming out in the new year, we’ve already spotted the trending tone in the latest eyewear collections.

Read on to find out how to incorporate the color into your look and which sunglasses and eyeglasses are a perfect match.

So what exactly is Peach Fuzz? Merriam-Webster defines the phrase as the ‘fine, light hair and especially such hair growing on the face of a male adolescent.’ While that may be the more popular definition of the phrase, Pantone’s version refers to the warming tone of the fruit itself.

The palette is a mix of light orange and soft pinkish undertones inspired by connection, kindness and togetherness themes. ‘In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance.’ Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone’s Executive Director said about the color, ‘A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.’

Establishing its fashion future, Peach Fuzz has already made its appearance throughout the SS24 collections. For those who love pastels, it will be fun to wear the hue from head to toe: we expect to see monochromatic outfits take the main stage next year.

If lighter, warmer tones aren’t your thing, there are still ways to add color in small touches with accessories. Jewellery, scarves, and especially eyewear are easy ways to incorporate Pantone’s 2024 color into your every day without switching out your whole wardrobe.

Peach Fuzz is a perfect color palette to start with if you’re looking to change up your frame game in the upcoming year. Its inviting tones add a warm softness to your features, balancing out shadows and angles.

Since eyeglasses are something you wear every day, consider going for a transparent peachy acetate. It’s a simple way to add an unexpected hue to what you already have in your closet.

Are you a self-described color minimalist? Fear not, consider pairing Peach Fuzz sunglasses with camel and ivory. These hues will complement the color’s undertones while blending seamlessly with a neutral palette.

For the more color-adventurous, consider a contrasting look by pairing shades with violet or even green accents. While they might seem like opposites, you’ll find that they will work together.
