NAIOCA PANTONE PEACH FUZZ CANVAS OFF-WHITE LOGO SNEAKER

Hello, faithful and stylish readers,

It is indeed that time again. Another whole trip around the sun and here we are at fashion's most anticipated time. No, I don't mean fashion week --- I'm speaking of Pantone's announcement for that "IT" color we are about to see everywhere -- 2024's Color of the Year!

I have been blogging on this annual December announcement since I started A Fashionable Blog in 2011 (before blogging was a thing, then it wasn't...then...) anyway, you can see past colors below (2012 -- 2023) and with that said, let's get to it:

With the outgoing 2023 Color of the Year -- VIVA MAGENTA

OCA HIGH CANVAS CONTRAST THREAD SNEAKER

Lovely human, meet Color of Year for 2 0 2 4:

Peach Fuzz

"A light, delicate shade that sits between pink and orange, Peach Fuzz marks the 25th anniversary of Pantone's Color of the Year program. This soft, heartfelt hue expresses the desire to nurture kindness, compassion, and connection—all while fostering a deep coziness as we seek a peaceful future." - Pantone

DYK? Pantone provides a universal language of color for more than 10 million designers and textile producers around the world. They all rely on Pantone products and services to help define, communicate, and control color from inspiration to realization – across various materials and finishes for graphics, fashion, and product design. To learn more about Pantone's history, visit their website here to learn more.

So, are we loving it? Let me know in the comments. Until then, here is a quick way to get rid of peach fuzz on your face or body according to "Woman's Health" >> Here's the article.

Watch for this peachy hue to show up in cosmetics, car paint, shoes, handbags, and more.

Thanks for reading, stay well and fab!

{Personal Note: Me To You

Formerly known as “A Fashionable Blog” (2011–2024), REAL SHERYL SAYS has officially moved! I felt it was time for a fresh start — new location, new vibe, and here we are on Substack.

You will still find posts from AFB archived here, redirected to Substack — spanning fashion week dispatches, men’s style, and the wonderfully random (yes, including that unforgettable NASA suit tie moment when I was a VIP at a NASA night launch in South Florida — go read it, it’s a gem).
Also, prior to 2023 you’ll see my sign off signature using my birth name. I legally changed my name to Sheryl Saint Clair — a shift that reflects who I’ve become (yes, I blogged about it). The stories are still mine. The sparkle definitely still is).

Thanks for reading — I’m glad you’re here.
