At the beginning of spring, it’s still cold so we can’t just run outside in our shorts all of a sudden…although some people do anyways. That’s okay if they like to dive right in like that. But I like to stay cozy. It’s much warmer and easier to just start in on wearing spring colors. You can find my style tip on how to use the classic spring colors now right HERE. I’m writing this on the first day of spring. So I consider this the ideal time to start wearing the Spring/Summer 2024 colors.
It’s 2024 and time to say goodbye to Barbie pink and hello to peach fuzz! This color has more warmth than pink, so it is more inviting. It’s also easier to style in monochromatic looks. The Pantone Institute of Color marks their 25th anniversary of this annual program with their announcement of the 2024 Color of the Year.
This post describes:
Peach Fuzz and its alternatives,
the reasons behind choosing this particular color at this time,
its meaning globally and personally,

how to use it in apparel and accessories through textures and color combinations.
So let’s take a closer look at Peach Fuzz: its depth of meaning, feelings it evokes and ways to wear it!
Nowadays, it seems that the end-of-summer weather is still too warm even after Labor Day to wear the fall clothes that our society expects. I like exploring seasonal colors when it’s too hot to dress for fall yet. And then when we’re in the swing of fall with crisp, cool temperatures followed by the cold winter, our cool-weather clothing colors automatically change to match the natural world around us. No matter what the weather, I’m here today to help you find out how to combine the new fall/winter fashion colors now and later in bold and creative ways. Age doesn’t matter.
The Pantone Color Institute announced Viva Magenta as the color of the year for 2023. Reflecting a brighter future, Viva Magenta is lively and warm and yet it also contains blue. It is a deep red that can merge into pink, depending on what resonates with you. Think of some variations as wine or raspberry. You choose the shade, based on your true self.
What qualities within the “magentaverse” express who you are and how you feel? Do you want to shout with joy, roar with power and break through to new life, celebrate the beauty of nature, break free from a colorless existence or explore new ways of being? Do you need to be empowered, to be filled with vim and vigor, to gather your courage and strength, to stand out at an event or to get bolder as you get older? Age doesn’t matter. Feel free to use this color of the year in any way that serves you best at this time in your life.
Spring brings with it brighter, lighter clothes. This is the time to start choosing spring colors to really get into the mood of the season. This post contains the new colors for spring/summer and how to wear them.
I like to start wearing spring colors from the first day of the season until the last. That’s why I am posting these colors now instead of when they were first announced in the fall!
The Pantone Fashion Color Report provides a comprehensive overview of fashion designers’ use of color in their collections. The color palette shown here is based on New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2022. The trending colors are generally available in the stores, so they should be fairly easy to find. You may also have these colors in your wardrobe already. Updating your colors keeps your look modern. Age doesn’t matter. And remember, older is bolder! This year’s palette gives you the option of piling on the bold colors.
I will recommend which are the best for your coloring, below the color swatches. If warm spring or autumn colors look best on you or if cool summer or winter colors are your best, read my summary located below the color swatches.
And finally, I will include ideas for some of the best ways of combining the Pantone colors together. You’ll find that at the bottom of this post.
