With the end of the year rapidly approaching, we can't help but reflect on our favorite moments and trends over the last 12 months. We saw vibrant neons, blues and browns, with hints of cherry red emerge in the golf fashion world this year. From Barbie-core pink to the ever-classic multi-shades of green, as more fashion-forward brands have gained traction in golf, so has the (creative) use of color. Colors have made themselves a vital part of golf apparel — often setting the tone (or shade) for any player — but as we look ahead to the next set of trends, it begs the question, what will be the color of the new year? Well according to Pantone, the infamous color matching system, the color of 2024 is peach fuzz. Here are some fun ways peach fuzz has already infiltrated golf.
Described as a velvety, gentle color nestled between pink and orange that is meant to bring on feelings of kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration (which feels eerily on point given the ongoing PGA Tour/LIV Golf debacle). Pantone has released a color of the year, every year, since 1999, but it hasn't taken off until recent years. It has become pertinent in the worlds of interior design, fashion design, product design, printing, and so much more. But for us, we can already see our favorite brands finding ways to incorporate peach fuzz into apparel pieces — especially as spring/summer collections begin to drop after the new year. And with the Masters being the official kickoff to the golf season, the ice cream sandwiches won't be the only things we'll be peachy about.

Speaking of the Masters and peach fuzz, we've already seen this combination with the special edition Nike Air Zoom Victory Tour Golf Shoe that dropped in April of this year. The soft green and yellow-orange details blended with the burlap-sack-like textured material mimic the appearance of fuzz â making for a deliciously stylish one-of-a-kind shoe.
Stay warm this winter in this spring-time-themed quarter zip. It has a slightly heathered look on the orange shade, which will soften the brightness and make it easier to pair with. We'd love to see this over a pair of well-tailored navy golf pants and some classic white leather golf shoes.
Another heathered orange option we love, this adidas polo is made with recycled materials and designed as a regular fit polo that's easy to layer over or under to accommodate for any weather conditions the season may bring.
If you're not ready to go full orange, hats and other accessories are a great place to start. We love this Callaway cap because it's an approachable take on the peachy trend. Through it on to brighten up any wintertime fit and energize your round.
Will away the cold in this spring-like micro-printed floral and soft orange polo from FootJoy. When it comes to trying out something new, sometimes it's best to do so with a more traditional brand that does the classics well, so no matter how experimental a style isâ¦it is never "too much".
Pushing the envelope in golf apparel, Eastside Golf has merged streetwear with on-course wear, while also introducing refreshing color palettes along the way. We love this soft shade of orange because it can almost resemble khakiâand will match with almost anything you wear your classic khakis with.
A vest (or âgiletâ as it is sometimes referred to), is an unexpected way to bring color to cold-weather outfits. An infusion of this soft orange shade is a refreshing break from the black and navy shades we typically see in layering. Pair this vest with your classic navy, black or white long sleeve on moderately cold daysâjust make sure you have an insulated base layer because, while the body is windproof, youâre on your own with the arms.
Peach fuzz isn't just limited to apparel â get creative (and on-trend) with your on-course accessories, too. Take a tip from the color wheel, and add accenting pops of color to transform your golf bag intoâ¦well, whatever you'd like it to be! Golf bag themes exist, so do one that's a bit untraditional.
Reminiscent of the orange Creamsicles from our childhood, these adidas golf shoes may not be the sweet treat from your memories, but they are still a sweet deal currently on sale on Amazon.
This is certainly a bold take on the orange trend, but let's be bold going into the new year. It may take a little extra neutral-toned focus on the styling, but if done right, these slacks will shine.
A dad hat with a cool logo? Count us in. (Extra points for being on par with the peach fuzz.)
Another heathered orange option we love, this adidas polo is made with recycled materials and designed as a regular fit polo that's easy to layer over or under to accommodate for any weather conditions the season may bring.
This fun little a-line skirt would look great paired with gray and blue hues to balance out the brightness of the coral-ish tone.
Pastel shorts aren't the easiest to pull off, especially as golf moves into a more fashion-forward space, but we've got a few tips. It's okay and trendy to mix your pastels â like lilac and pea green with peachy orange. Or lean into the color-block look and pair your pastels with brighter, bolder colors.
If you're still not quite sold on the peach fuzz trend, perhaps these pleated sleeves are bold enough to sway you. These daring sleeves are some of the most unique we've seen for women's golf apparel, but that's the appeal. Pair this top with more pleats to really commit to the look, and you'll be best dressed for sure.
This garment-washed (which gives it that weathered, vintage aesthetic) is another great option for the golfer looking for something a bit more approachable when it comes to this shade of orange. It's fairly casual so it would look just as great with a pair of jeans as it would with khakis, and the contrasted top-stitching gives the polo a bit of a refined finish.
We didn't know we needed abstract art on colored grips until now. The contrasted light-orange and green tones of these grips are so creative and unlike anything we've seen. Imagine breaking out your peach-colored golf bag with the matching grips â you'd be the talk of your club!
Look stylish and feel comfortable in this athletic skort made for the greens (but would look great anywhere).
Shopping off-season for items is one of the best ways to score a deal, and this tennis dress is the perfect example of that. It may be "last season" but luckily this peach color trend just in time, so you're ahead of the fashion curve.
Complete your golf look with this heathered, two-toned orange belt that will add a modern finish no matter the style you're going for. Orange pants and shoes can be overwhelming, so this is a safer option for those looking to dip their toe into this trend.

This has been one of our favorite products of 2023 and for the foreseeable future, this will be in heavy rotation (especially with the approval of Pantone).
Masters-inspired but perfect for 2024 (all year long), this nod to the infamous sweet treat of Augusta National is a great way to add a bit of spice to your golf accessories. Unfortunately, most sizes are sold out, so we will cross our fingers and wait patiently for a restock before the first major next year.
Keep it simple, yet fresh with these coral golf sunglasses. These classic, rectangle-style frames are equipped with high-tech lenses that tone down the overabundance of green light in the golf environment while boosting red and yellow light to create course-specific contrast so that you can sink more putts and look cool doing so.
We're rounding out this colorful list with a simple golf towel, a must-have on-course item that can dress up any golf bag. And as a fun little bonusâ¦it's on sale.
