1 Switch it up and play with your colour palette
Darker greens go with darker red, brown, burgundy and dark orange whilst pastel greens goes with washed orange, washed denims and whites. A refreshing summer green also goes great with saturated, bright colours as well, don’t forget always play texture contrasts such as combine them with light weighted silk, linen and satin but try not to mix more than three colours. Using the same accents of colours to your outfit is really the trick to dressing accordingly when it comes to wearing a colour like green.
2 Yes, it is green, but it is NOT ALL about green – Concentrate On The Silhouette
From the silhouette to the cut, bring attention to the finer details in the tailoring which means when you wear the classic pieces like a green pea coat, complement it with pleated camel trousers and classic camel Acne Scarves for more volume and texture. This will upscale the green with more sophistication and eliminate the homeless look and avoid anyone dumping loose change into your coffee!
3Be Bold
If you’re up for a statement look, this is the time to make the most of it and wear green as much as possible to be brave and bold! To balance the colour tones, wear your green as the focal point of your outfit so that mean wearing a green wool coast and to simply wear neutral coloured pants like Blogger’s Boyfriend paired with minimal accessories like a black beanie or a watch.
5 Keep it Light
But if bold is not your cup of tea then doesn’t mean you should miss out the colour of the season! If you really can’t get your head around or get comfortable to wear a bold green then opt for these pastels, ashy and dusty greens to start with as a tailored suit in the warmer days.
