COLOR COLLECTIONS

Each year, color trends shift in ways that prove to influence people on emotional, psychological, and even physical levels; these trending colorways demonstrate how hues gain popularity by resonating with a universally relevant mood, affecting consumer choice and promoting new expression through branding and product. Expect these color collections to saturate the 2024 market.

COLOR COLLECTIONS | Peach Fuzz

Color of the Year 2024

Peach Fuzz 13-1023

We have an appetite for closeness and optimism, so Peach Fuzz delivers a warm & fuzzy feeling that’s just peachy. Pantone Color Institute is the worldwide leader in color forecasting, and each year they name an annual hue that is reflective of world trends in design, art, fashion, film, and other media influences. The Pantone Color Institute has selected a nurturing and subtle peach that celebrates empathetic connection with inclusivity and restorative healing at the forefront, Color of the Year: PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz. According to Pantone, Peach Fuzz is “a soft shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.” Inspired by care and comfort, it evokes natural warmth with a vitamin-rich yet airy energy. A pleasant and positive color that straddles orange and pink, this dynamic color represents peaceful togetherness. In a rare moment, Pantone and Coloro both selected similar juicy and fruit-forward hues for 2024—with Apricot Crush being named by the latter. For Pantone’s pick, the “fuzz” is equally as important as the “peach” as feeling is a key point.

COLOR COLLECTIONS | Peach Fuzz

“In a world often focused on productivity and external accomplishments, it is essential to recognize the need to cultivate our inner selves and find moments of respite, creativity, and human connection…Peach Fuzz is a fitting color for the current moment, reflecting the basic human needs and desires many may be experiencing amid challenging times.” — Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute

COLOR COLLECTIONS | Rusted & Rooted

rusted & rooted These rich red-browns are warm and woody with a luxury edge. Stability, authenticity, and opulence underscore these surprisingly raw and painterly colors reminiscent of soil and clay, like palette classic burnt sienna. Oxblood and burgundy are purple-brown-reds that have become colored neutrals with historical power as well, tied to traditional crafts like winemaking and pottery glazing. Another restorative colorway, this wellness-adjacent color family takes a refreshing and sustainable cue from herbal teas. For example, non-toxic and earthwise natural dyes made from Rooibos are being used to color garments while significantly reducing the textile industry’s carbon footprint. A trend in itself, the natural dyes market is growing at a CAGR of 12% and is expected to reach $1.5B by 2026. Usually a fall or winter staple, these muted yet full-bodied tones of rooibos, rust, and burgundy are starting to have transeasonal appeal as new neutrals year-round. WGSN’s color forecasting partner, Coloro, announced Intense Rust as a key hue for Fall-Winter 2024. But Pantone announced “Rooibos Tea” as one of the top ten colors for SpringSummer 2024. Many fashion brands and designers have been incorporating this color into their collections; in fact, Gucci’s new creative director Sabato de Sarno featured a multi-dimensional oxblood as the new “it color” in their Spring-Summer 2024 show—aptly named Gucci Rossa. Fall in love with the richness of these warm multidimensional neutrals. 1. 100% RECYCLED BLANKET

COLOR COLLECTIONS | Chambray Sky

chambray sky Cool, atmospheric blues inspired by the skies. Denim days are here again with these carefree, airy neutrals. Another colorway with unobtrusive energy, the palette for 2024 looks stable, balanced, and relaxed with the addition of these light to mid-tone blues. From Pantone’s Chambray Blue to Coloro’s Elemental Blue, this spectrum of brightened Indigo has easy vitality, minimalism, and uplifting feel.

Inspiring inward reflection paired with upward optimism, these chambray blues are breezy and blissful with celestial quality. Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year 2024 Upward falls into this color category, described by their team as “the color found when we slow down, take a breath, and allow the mind to clear.” Benjamin Moore also named an Indigo family shade in Blue Nova 825, an assuring and saturated mid-tone blue that “was inspired by the brilliance of a new star formed in space.” Clear your mind and prepare for clear skies with these charming blues

COLOR COLLECTIONS | Butter & Beige

butter & beige A smooth-as-butter staple color of “stealth wealth” and “quiet luxury.” Another elevated take on the current obsession with all things neutral, the understated splendor and sophistication of these soft beige-yellows has a hold on us. Subdued and calming, this colorway is indicative of a general consumer desire for warmer and less saturated colors. Seen at Spring-Summer 2024 shows for Versace, Chloe, Givenchy, and Rolf Ekroth—or on the poster girl of the quiet luxury trend, Sofia Richie Grainge—these smooth and silky shades whisper opulence. From the new iPhone 15 shades to home decor, the softest yellow and honey-beiges are becoming more prevalent. Bright but not overpowering, this sunny shade feels more like refreshing lemons-into-lemonade or “solar power” sort of optimism than a sweltering summer day. With yellow meeting beige in the middle, paint company PPG & Glidden have announced Limitless as their 2024 Color of the Year with the tagline “Call It Anything But Yellow.” This dynamic mixture is part of the allure, a specialty combination of nourishing color that’s neither this nor that. Is butter a carb? Do we even care? Give us more happy beige moments.

COLOR COLLECTIONS | New Gothic

new gothic

Embrace the darkness because goth culture is having a moment. Whether we’re talking #softgoth or #whimsigoth or mermaidcore’s emo sister “sirencore”, gunmetal and slick black elements are adding a powerful edginess to closets, hard goods, interiors, and graphic design.

vintage 90’s vibe 1

Inspired by pop culture events like Netflix’s Wednesday or 2024’s most anticipated movie release according to IMDb, Beetlejuice 2 (both starring Gen Z “it girl” Jenna Ortega), withy-cool style is in. Dior’s Spring-Summer 2024 at Paris Fashion Week featured a haunting procession of moody makeup, chokers, and black-onblack styling. Even Rodarte, known for florals and soft aesthetics, unveiled a glam “Goth Fairy” line in 2023. On TikTok, #goth has 22.3 billion views with #grunge at 10.1 billion views. According to WGSN strategist, Maria Giustino, “Mixing a subversive and rebellious spirit with feminine undertones, #GothLite themes gain momentum across youth, influenced by subcultures and driven by a desire for escapism in a world of uncertainty.” In interiors, BEHR named its 2024 Color of the Year as Cracked Pepper, a deep and dramatic black-gray that has a bit of a bite and represents the soft goth aesthetic in home decor. Whether used tone on tone, or in contrast with brights or some of the lighter neutrals explored in our 2024 trending palette, these heavy and grounding hues are awesome with high shine or matte treatment. No shade: There’s something effortlessly cool about the drama in blacks and gunmetal grays, and we’re here for it. See for yourself.

In a society with a 24-hour news cycle, social media, personal responsibilities, grind culture, disconnection, economic uncertainty, and climate fears all demanding our attention…no wonder burnout has been a buzzword. Many of us are feeling depleted, detached, and uneasy. According to an intelligence report from Wunderman Thompson, 46% of people say they feel tired and burned out all the time, and only 25% of people feel positive about how things in the world are going. WGSN supports this with the “New Nihilist” group in their Future Consumer 2025 report; many are feeling overwhelmed from living in polycrisis and care less as a coping mechanism. And according to psychology professor Dr. Dacher Keltner at UC Berkeley, the “younger generations in general are more stressed, anxious, and self-conscious than at any time in history.” Here’s the skinny: The desire to connect deeper is a very strong outcome of experiencing multiple oncein-a-lifetime events. And our efficiency-driven way of doing business is leaving out some key consumer sentiments that put humanity and feeling at the forefront. In fact, 61% of people say that companies and brands aren’t doing anything original these days. And 74% of people say they are just waiting for something good to happen. We’ve already seen more focus on authenticity and equality with flexible ideas of identity, but tapping deeper into the emotional drives of our consumers will be key. People want to feel seen, excited, recognized, and entertained. Playful experiences that stimulate emotions like surprise and joy become mood-boosting magnets for consumers. Travel trends like Condé Nast Traveller’s “joy therapy” and transformative travel also capitalize on emotion—putting betterment of self, growth, wonder, and wellness at the center of the journey. And with tech advancements in AI and chatbots, hyper-personalization can deliver custom experiences that feel familiar, unique, and engaging to consumers at an individual level. So let’s get personal.

Office punk LET’S GET PERSONAL | Micro Trend: Office Punk

Expression through fashion and beauty microtrends like cottagecore or mermaidcore is part of the search for community, as well as one’s own identity. With all of these soft bubblegum-like trends floating around, one fashion subculture that’s gaining popularity in the corporate world is surprisingly dark. And Gen Z is here for it. Zers arrived in the workforce, and these younger workers didn’t take long to make their mark. Breaking traditional workwear with punk aesthetics, the popularity of the rebellious look is in the details—from studs to raw hems and moody or acidic palettes. From the smallest of details to an explosion of expression, this subculture is back in the mainstream as another product of polycrisis. Take the edge to the office with these picks.

According to a 2023 intelligence study, more than 75% of people say they “just want to feel something, to feel alive.” People are fun-deprived. Brands can help people transcend tough times by incorporating wonder, joy, and surprise into their identities and experiences. Community and collective experience can be a powerful factor in emotional wellbeing, and according to ideas of the “joyconomy,” the workplace can actually be a place of wellness if intentional, emotional connections can be built—rather than simply transactional.

TOGE G THER UN NTETHERED As we enter a new year, we’re reflecting on the state of the workforce. According to surveys from consulting firm Gallup, 80% of remote-capable employees expect to work either hybrid or fully remote. Despite the changes to the traditional workplace, culture remains key—with 76% of employees saying that culture is important for them to be effective at work. Many employees (especially those who are Gen Z) are reevaluating their relationship with work and looking for more benefits or incentives to stay. Ideas like “quiet quitting” or the TikTok discourse on “lazy girl jobs” evolved out of a desire for more balance, perks, and increased well-being. We’re at a point where it’s not guaranteed that younger generations will achieve a better life than their parents; many in the workforce are less willing to sacrifice their time and energy without a clear return on their investment. From upskilling and gig work to blended travel trends and comfortable workwear, your untethered workforce values recognition, flexibility, perks, and benefit programs that keep them feeling supported and refreshed.

#GRWM

Many polyworkers are creating content on the side, and some of that content may be #GRWM reels and videos. An acronym that means “get ready with me,” the video content is often a beauty routine or outfit breakdown with a bit of storytime thrown in. Other than finding out the newest way to style curtain bangs, why is this trend so addictive? Mostly, it’s about connection. #GRWM to anchor the news. #GRWM to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa’s 56th wedding anniversary. #GRWM to crush a job interview. We watch for the stories they tell. With 145B+ views on TikTok, #GRWM content is having a unique moment outside of beauty and lifestyle. Your brand can reach a variety of demographics and interests by leaning into what Vogue calls “a comforting phenomenon,” building a rapport with audiences through authenticity and realness. How can we get ready with your brand?

Untethered Travel Blended travel, or bleisure, has been one of the great flexible benefits that companies have been offering to their untethered workforce. Hybrid work leads to hybrid travel, with options for extended leave and sabbatical programs on the rise. These travel trends also show “revenge travel” slowing down in favor of relaxing and rejuvenating “bliss travel,” where good sleep and personal connections are key factors in combating burnout. Whether you’re targeting the long commuter or the weekend warrior, this collection of travel favorites is perfect for anyone on-the-go.

Workwear “Quiet luxury” has been the talk of 2023, but we’re still on board in 2024. These fail-safe classics are wearable and sophisticated for all demographics, and the durable materials speak for themselves. In terms of workleisure trends, leading athleisure brands are using their smart and technical materials in corporate silhouettes to achieve softness, stretch, wrinkle resistance, temperature control, and quick-dry properties. And we know how much the “corporate girlies” love their sweatsuit sets both in-office and outof-office.

Also coined “stealth wealth,” the pared back looks of quiet luxury are not only an effort in minimalism but an effort in sustainability. In the end, it’s less about many expensive items and more about smart economic and eco-conscious investments, as these high-quality transitional pieces are lasting staples of a capsule wardrobe. Build your own branded capsule wardrobe, starting with these workwear favorites.

We know sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a lifestyle. We’re living in a time that could be characterized as a great awakening, and it’s been years coming. Blind consumerism and profit-over-planet are being rejected, and more eco-friendly and purposeful practices are being adopted. Just a few priorities in sustainable living are: regenerative farming, equitable social partnerships, and circular business models where products or materials are restored indefinitely. In a nutshell, we want to restore communities, resources, and habitats for a renewed planet of stable biodiversity. So how can brands exercise more sustainable practices in business? With impending climate challenges and the rising use of solar power, more products are being developed with these concepts in mind. We discuss the power of products designed for lifetime usage, upcycled and sustainable materials, and the future of farming. Let’s take your brand into its super natural era.

SUPER-NATURAL | Brand Love for a Lifetime: Anti-waste

Brand Love for a Lifetime: anti-waste In a circular economy, products are designed to be durable, repairable, and recyclable. The emphasis is on reducing waste and extending the lifespan of products. This transition to a circular economy will cut waste, pollution, and biodiversity loss. It’s estimated that it will represent $4.5tn of global growth by 2030, presenting an opportunity rather than a cost for businesses.

If you’re looking to shift away from a disposable culture of consumption and towards more sustainable and responsible practices, consider these lifetime products for your next order. 1

SUPER-NATURAL | Prepare Wear

Prepare Wear As consumers are becoming more conscious of their safety and wellness, “prepare wear” is gradually becoming a priority. Consumers are considering more multi-functional and durable clothing or items that protect against harsh environmental elements like sun, wind, germs, and pollution. Here are our favorite protective picks.

SUPER-NATURAL | Micro Trend: Extraterrestrial

Extraterrestrial An out-of-this-world way of looking at Prepare Wear. As the idea of UAPs becomes more mainstream and NASA appoints a new director of UFO Research, all signs point to growing interest in our (potentially) shared skies. Fascination with extraterrestrial culture is heightened by the theatrical release of Dune 2 in 2024. Even luxury fashion house Prada is in, as they design the NASA spacesuits for a 2025 Moon mission. Embrace the possibilities with this space-themed collection.

SUPER-NATURAL | Growing Interest: Farming

GROWING INTEREST:

farming

With a growing global population, estimates suggest a need to increase food production by 68% to meet demands in 2050. Smart farming and urban farming are two large agricultural trends that are geared towards producing more crops, but they operate under different circumstances with different driving factors. Meet the future of agriculture: Smart farming uses robotics, AI, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to grow produce efficiently and more sustainably. This looks like drone usage, measuring conditions with sensors, and using all captured data to maximize resources and make decisions without even needing to step onto the field. The more you know. Meet the future of food education: Urban farming can provide healthy, locally grown produce to underserved communities while also teaching others about seasonality, food preparation, and how or what to grow. It’s all about access, learning, and building community.

Whether consumers and companies are using innovative techniques, building a garden, or volunteering in the community, there’s definitely a growing interest in growing food. 1. MODERN SPROUT® SUNFLOWER KIT

FRESH FINDS | Texture & Motion: Deco

TEXTURE & MOTION: DECO Branding goes beyond just a logo—it’s about creating a cohesive and memorable representation of your brand through every touchpoint. Enhancing your brand’s look can be a differentiating factor for your business that helps retain current customers and attract new ones. Some popular design trends that we’re seeing and loving are: holographs, ink reveals, motion graphics, and 3D elements.

If you want your brand to stand out in the crowd, look into these fun options that are much more than just eye-catching, they’re an experience!

PUFF INK

COLOR CHANGING INK As soon as a cold liquid is poured into the drinkware item, the ink transforms instantly to a different color. Another plus? The ink is dishwasher safe.

A plastisol ink that has been mixed with a heat reactive foaming agent, allowing it to expand when exposed to high-temperature heat, creating a puffy, marshmallow texture.

CUSTOM 3D CARD Work with an experienced designer to create a fully customizable, memorable and inspirational, handcrafted 3D pop-up card.

HOLOGRAPHIC STICKERS 5D PRINTING 5D dimensional printing is a great way to capture attention by creating a beautiful optical illusion that delivers the perception of depth and movement. See more here!

Die-cut sticker singles composed of a revolutionary 3 mil thick metalized vinyl with a permanent acrylic adhesive and digitally printed with white ink.

On the Fringe Piggybacking off of the “Coastal Cowgirl” aesthetic, fringe is most definitely in for 2024. In fact, western styling in general is still going strong and feels timeless, laidback, and earthy. Leather, denim, tassels, and traditional prints are the keys to the collection. If your brand wants to go maximalist and kitsch, embrace the “Dolly” aesthetics with Yeehaw Core: a bold and full-fledged country western extravaganza. Up to y’all.

Balletcore plays up our feminine sides in a high-spirited way and is relatively easy to adopt into everyday wear.
