In 2024, Pantone rediscovers softness and voluptuousness with a warm shade that “captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others,” as Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute, puts it. If you’ve been temptated to buy a fluffy peach shirt or you’ve found in your wardrobe that peach T-shirt you thought was out of fashion, now is the right time to wear it with confidence. Here are some style tips for elevator shoes (and more) to match the Pantone Peach Fuzz.
Everyone knows by now: every year, Pantone selects the colour that best represents the spirit of the times, trends and aspirations of society. The Peach Fuzz was chosen for 2024 because it expresses a sense of optimism, hope and connection with nature. It is code 13-1023 on the Pantone colour scale, the international reference system for colour communication, but what is more important is its symbolic and psychological value, because it can positively influence our mood and behaviour.
Certainly, peach is not among men’s favourite colours, but nowdays more and more boys are indulging in bright and pastel shades, especially in the summer months where fun, light-heardness and tan leave room for experimentation and joy even in the composition of the outfits.
Pantone Peach Fuzz, here’s why it’s good for you
If you’re torn and don’t know whether or not to wear that peach-coloured shirt in your wardrobe, then you should know that the Pantone Peach Fuzz is a colour that has beneficial effects that should not be underestimated.
- Feeling: tt is a colour that makes you feel good, that warms the heart and soul, that invites relaxation and meditation. The Pantone Peach Fuzz is a colour that makes you feel positive emotions, such as joy, gratitude, trust and love.
- Colour: derived from the combination of pink and orange, two colours that have to do with life and passion. It therefore expresses vitality, energy, optimism and enthusiasm.
- Softness: it recalls the texture of the peach, a soft, velvety fruit that melts in the mouth. The Pantone Peach Fuzz unconsciously suggests to your brain the concepts of sweetness, delicacy, tenderness and comfort.
How to perfectly match the Pantone Peach Fuzz
The boldest trends include wearing the Pantone Peach Fuzz in a total look. If you have no intention of wearing such extreme outfits, but you really like the peach colour, then all you need is a peach-coloured garment or accessory. But how to match it? Here are a few tips for not giving up the fashion colour of the year for your summer but composing balanced outfits.
Peach Fuzz shirt + Jeans + white sneakers
If wearing a peach shirt has always been one of your desires, don’t hesitate this year. Match it with a pair of light-coloured jeans for a fresh, modern look. Choose slim fit jeans for a chic touch or opt for a straight cut for a more casual effect. Add a cleanly designed watch or a leather bracelet for a masculine touch. Finally, wear sunglasses with lightweight frames to protect you from the sun and give your look a trendy finishing touch. Complete the outfit with a pair of white sneakers, perfect for maintaining comfort without sacrificing style. Drawing from GuidoMaggi’s latest spring/summer collection, choose a pair of Islamorada, elevator sneakers with an oversized white non-slip sole that provides stability and comfort, and an integrated, invisible elevator system that can reach up to 8 centimetres.
Peach Fuzz T-shirt + beige trousers + beige loafers
For a stylish and relaxed summer look, wear your favourite Pantone Peach Fuzz T-shirt with a pair of beige trousers. This colour combination creates a harmonious and fresh effect. Choose lightweight, slim fit trousers to maintain a clean and refined profile. You can accessorise with a minimalist watch and light-rimmed sunglasses. Complete the outfit with a pair of beige loafers, which add a touch of class without sacrificing comfort. We recommend a pair of Downey elevator loafers ,featuring a timeless elegance thanks to the natural suede and raffia upper that offers a sophisticated and relaxed look. With a rubber sole for a comfortable and secure walk, this loafer adds up to 7 cm of height in a completely invisible way. This look is perfect for an outdoor lunch or a walk around town, keeping you fashionable and comfortable at all times.
Peach Fuzz pants + white T-shirt + grey sneakers
If your skin colour is too pale, you can use the Peach Fuzz for a pair of trousers. In this case take a cue from actor Timothée Chalamet, to incorporate the Peach Fuzz trend with a touch of style. Featuring simple trousers in this shade paired with a simple white T-shirt and grey trainers, his look captures the laid-back summer vibe you’ll need to embrace in the coming year. He matchs a pair of comfortable peach trousers with a simple white T-shirt and a pair of grey sneakers. Our suggestion is to pair him with a pair of brand new elevator slip-ons Saint-Malo. Made from fine hand-dyed crust calfskin, they feature a silk elastic band and a woven calfskin pattern, adding a touch of sophistication to the design. The soft calfskin lining ensures all-day comfort, while the elevator system allows for a 6.5 cm increase in height.
Peach Fuzz jacket + white trousers + brown dress shoes
For the more daring, another stylish option with the colour Panton Peach Fuzz, is to pair a lightweight jacket in this shade with a pair of white trousers and brown dress shoes. The Peach Fuzz jacket adds a touch of sophisticated colour to a formal outfit, while the white trousers keep the outfit fresh and clean, perfect for summer days. Brown dress shoes complete the look with an elegant touch. In the GuidoMaggi catalogue, choose a pair of Westwood with a light brown greased leather upper with a particular retro effect with handmade punching, a black and orange natural rubber sole and a rise of up to 8 centimetres. This outfit is ideal for an evening drink or an outdoor event, keeping a sophisticated but relaxed style.
