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. During this time, I like to explore seasonal colors to get in the mood. And then when we’re in the swing of Autumn with crisp, cool temperatures followed by the cold Winter, our clothing colors automatically change to match the natural world around us. (See my Style Tip on How to Dress With the Changing Seasons HERE.) 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.

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,
the warm qualities of this color choice and
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!
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.
