How to Wear Green

Green might seem like a tricky colour to pull off, but if you follow a few basic rules it needn’t be daunting. If you're mixing your greens, stick to similar tones: cooler hues such as mint, seafoam and pistachio work well together, as do warmer shades like khaki, olive and basil. On the other hand, a combination of pea, neon and fern might get you noticed for all the wrong reasons.

There’s one sure-fire way to make green sing, and that’s by pairing it with contrasting colour accessories – such as a fun pair of pink mules or our editor-approved baby pink trainers. On the colour wheel, greens sit directly opposite orange, pink and red (though we’d perhaps steer clear of the latter if you don’t want to look like Christmas came early). Punchy pink looks great with shamrock green, while juicy orange sets off the cooler tones of mint or sage. If you’re still feeling the chill, try green trousers with a show-stopping pink hoodie – comfort and style all in one. If you’re heading to work on the big day, try a top-to-toe hunter green jumpsuit paired with your favourite heels.
