Men are as confused as a chameleons when it comes to colors. For ages, middle-class men have stuck to the basic primary colors and neutral tones. Surprisingly, even most men from Gen Z are not very conscious and aware of colors. Colors are important in any outfit and a great way to express yourself and your personality. On that note, in celebration of the new colors, the Pantone Color System and the Pantone Color Institute have been the kings of influence in all aspects of color design and color trends over the years. Let’s see the Pantone color of the year and the ways you can incorporate the color into your wardrobe.
Introducing ‘Peach Fuzz 13-1023’
Yes, Peach Fuzz is officially selected as Pantone color of the year. Peach Fuzz is a comfy and warm color that invites everyone to a cozy moment together or alone enkindling the warmth from within. Peach Fuzz is a velvety gentle tone between pink and orange with a spirit that enriches the mind, body, and soul.
“In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.” - Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute.
According to the Pantone Color Institute, Peach Fuzz is a continuation of last year’s Viva Magenta, not a deviation. It’s meant to harmonize and generate a sense of peace that comes from within.

Moreover, this color talks on your behalf about the astonishing sense of fashion you possess. This is your cue to get on with the trend and hit those exercises with some extra effort boosting your New Year resolution which has settled down a bit.
- Tees
Go beyond the basic plain blacks and whites and switch up your tee collection with Peach Fuzz. Whether you're a crew neck enthusiast or prefer the laid-back V-neck style, adding peach to your wardrobe instantly revives your casual wardrobe. Make your tees the personal style canvas, radiating your vibe. No additional effort is required, wear your tee and pair it with a darker shade of denim. Being a new color, it will automatically attract the eyes around you. Be your trendsetter with the peach fuzz.
- Kurta & Nehru Jacket
What is a better way to kickstart your festive season than with the brand new peach fuzz kurta or a peach fuzz Nehru jacket? Pair it with a white or beige pajama. You can also go for a similar Nehru Jacket and go all peachy or pair it with a white or beige kurta or pajama. You can go all white with your peach fuzz Nehru jacket if you want to give the color a blank canvas to pop or you can combine the three shades alternatively till it suits your eye. The color is all yours to experiment with.
- Sweaters
With winter still lurking around the corner, a hot cup of coffee and the coziest Peach Fuzz-hued sweater doesn’t seem like a bad combination. The plush, fuzzy texture, paired with this trendy color, creates the perfect blend of comfort and style. With mercury dropping and the chills seeping down the Tees, let your sweater not just shield you from the cold but also make a bold fashion statement. Peach Fuzz sweaters aren't just for warmth; they can be your go-to for a snug and stylish winter ahead, ensuring you stay comfortably on-trend.
- Suits/Blazers
Breaking traditional boundaries, Dwayne Johnson graced the Oscars 2023 in a Peach Fuzz tuxedo paired with a white dress shirt and flower brooch. Ideal for casual settings like a get-together or summer wedding. Highly elegant, and stylish, and will make you stand apart from the crowd. Just remember don’t try to overdo it, as the color will already draw attention. Your job is to put a blank canvas where the color can play out not compete to stand out.
- Trousers
It is better to grab trousers while tailoring the suit, or there might be a noticeable difference in shade. Once you get the pair of suits and trousers, it doesn’t matter if you wear them with the suit or not. You can level up your style by pairing it with tees shirts or trench coats. As said earlier, no extra effort, let the color speak for you.
- Shoes
You don’t need to be head-to-toe draped in peach fuzz to embrace the color only your toe can do that as well. Grab a pair of trainers or sandals and introduce Peach Fuzz to your go-to shades of black, grey, and navy, creating eclectic looks. ‘Cariuma’ from Brazil is the official footwear partner for Pantone Color of the Year and has launched four styles in Peach Fuzz; Oca Low Canvas, Oca Low Premium Leather, Salvas, and Naioca Canvas. For every Cariuma sneaker, a tree is planted in the Brazilian rainforest with 2 million trees planted to date. A good and ambitious project but high on budget as you must import it. You can also look for alternatives on Indian online shopping apps.
- Accessories
‘A little goes a long way’, if you feel investing in the color is not worth the hype or you are afraid to experiment with your wardrobe start with small steps. Elevate your style with accessories like lapel pins, bags, belts, and even socks (think classic Burberry patterns) to add depth and interest to your wardrobe. For the cold months, think of scarves and mufflers in this soft color to introduce warm magic into your winter wear, allowing you to ride the trend without breaking the bank.
