Pantone presented Peach Fuzz as the Color of the Year for 2024, offering this sophisticated, rich, and vibrant peach tone to the fashion, graphic design, interior décor, industrial design, and multimedia industries. It’s a choice expressive of a new modernity and romanticism. And, of course, in the world of fashion, swimwear has also embraced this color, and brands are now starting to include it on their mood boards. Here are just a few ideas for using it in your next collection:
Peach Fuzz is the perfect background color for prints
These images show Ulla Johnson and Zimmermann designs using peach as the base color for a variety of prints. It’s a combination that lends balance and sophistication.
A blend of orange and pink, Peach Fuzz is a warm, fresh, and soothing tone that is easy to pair with other colors, especially reds, oranges, or pinks in the same palette. It also combines well with complementary tones such as blue or analogous colors such as yellow. Peach is therefore perfect as the main background for prints with a variety of colors.
Peach Fuzz in color blocks
In the swimwear universe, color blocks are a design resource that brands often incorporate into their collections. The use of seasonal colors is key to color blocks, and this is where the Pantone Color of the Year becomes relevant. The photo features designs by Aava and Albertine.
Peach Fuzz is well suited to the interplay of color blocks because the warm hue combines and contrasts well with other colors. Bright and soft, Peach Fuzz works well with light, dark, or vibrant colors, allowing creatives to propose a variety of combinations in which peach provides a modern, subtle, and neutral touch.
Peach Fuzz in color accents

Color accents are always a welcome resource when designing, and accents can make all the difference when it comes to bikinis and swimsuits. Peach Fuzz in particular has been defined by Pantone as a new modern color, so combining it with basic and essential colors such as black creates an irresistable pairing full of femininity and style.
Peach Fuzz as a solid
Forever 21 and Lululemon know that peach is starting to make inroads in the closet, and that includes bikinis and swimsuits. For many people, this shade is quickly becoming the new neutral.
Peach is one of those colors that have always been around, but is now gaining prominence based on its versatility. It is comforting, soft, warm, modern, subtle, and relaxing, all attributes that make it an ideal color for solid pieces. In fact, it has the ability to blend perfectly with a variety of skin tones, a factor that works in a brand’s favor when presenting the final product to the consumer.
