Head to Toe Peach
Leave it our favorite it-girl Gigi Hadid to have rocked this trend back in 2015. Teen Vogue caught her fashion forward ways with this #OOTD. Peach fuzz can also resemble a warm, blush skin tone, resulting in a subtle, but impactful, nude look (think Carrie Bradshaw’s infamous nude dress from Sex and The City). Recently, Hunter Schafer mimicked a peachy look at The Golden Globes, and ruffled textures, flowing fabrics, and peach fuzz fashion from the spring runways are hitting mainstream. After surfacing at Missoni, Gucci, and Jill Sander , accessible retailers such as Revolve, Free People, and Net-a-Porter have received an influx in peach fuzz gowns. But no matter how you wear it, Peach Fuzz is an ambitious, but highly-rewarding, look for anyone. So here’s how to wear it from head to toe.
Peach Fuzz Shifts, Gowns & Midi Dresses
Any excuse to buy a new dress is good enough for us. If we’re purchasing something to be on trend, even better. To begin wearing the peach fuzz trend, start small by choosing a really cool shift dress (love Amal Clooney in a this one!), silk number or casual midi dress to get comfortable. Bonus fashion points if you rock something with contrasting colors (like this Alex Katz-inspired Carolina Herrera)! Check out some of our favorites below.

Peach Fuzz Handbags & More
Always ahead of its time, Bottega Veneta has awaken peach fuzz in the fashion industry through its 2024 collection of leather handbags. Some feature their groundbreaking intrecciato technique (which means braided), while others reflect more traditional leather weaving. If you want to get on the peach fuzz train with just a handbag, here are some that we love that encapsulate warm and fuzzy, but never basic Peach Fuzz.

Top It Off
Peach Fuzz is a fashion statement where “everybody wins”. Like an act of community service, a Peach Fuzz top has the ability to brighten up a room with its refreshing and high-spirited hue. Alessandra Ambrosio proved to us that even a Peach Fuzz sweatshirt can be chic with this head-to-toe, lunch look in 2021. For that effortless, 90’s supermodel look, you can top your fit off with a pair of Cobalt-blue, Levi 501’s(one of our EIC’s closet staples). Or you could even try it out with a tempting ruffled mini-skirt, like this one from Pacsun these stylish tops below.

Cute Peachy Bottoms
With a nod to 1970’s celeb glamour, enhance your gorgeous figure with a dramatic but effortless shape with a pair of low-rise flare jeans from Diesel. We love pairing these with some Cali Cowgirl inspired boho boots. Or maybe pair it with some beach-ready, Ron White wedge sandals that are chic but still comfy throughout the day. Regardless, this look never fails when topped off with a simple shirt or blouse. If you wanna opt for that sculpted, Kate Moss look, try it out with this black satin button-up from Alice & Olivia. For a soft and rustic style, tie-up your favorite white poplin shirt (check this one out from Madewell)!
