Will You be Wearing Peach Fuzz?
Do you love the softness and caring vibes Peach Buzz sends? Is it a color you will wear, or is it too faded and boring for you? What do you think you will wear it with? Let me know!
If scarves were in style I might go with a peach fuzz scarf or a print top that includes darker tones with the pastel. I need brighter, not paler, colors, although I think it is a really pretty shade.
Never! I have a sallow complexion. And I am a winter. Another year of finding nothing to wear. All you blondes and redheads enjoy.
Hi Georgina, Sounds like you have an excellent handle on your colors. That’s so important to great style! You’re a jewel tone gal, no peach fuzz in your palette!
Absolutely! I look best in an Autumn palette, so Peach Fuzz will be a great color for me.
Hi Carolyn, Yes, with your warm coloring it will work especially if it is a bit deeper. I’m a Spring so perfect for me too!
Because I’m a seasonal winter, I would pair it with coral, as it’s a little too pale for my coloring. I might wear a T-shirt in peach fuzz with a coral-colored cardigan, as some pale colors are not the best for me unless they are a very icy tone. Like most seasonal winter women, I look better in jewel tones or vibrant colors.
Hi Susan, Sounds like you have a great understanding of your Winter Palette! I’m a huge fan of color theory and I know what works for me and wear it all the time. Coral, peach are my key colors so this spring the colors are perfect for me. Thanks for your comment. Cheers, Deborah

Love peach fuzz. I’m not good in pink, but the subtle orange is just enough to make it lovely.
