When it comes to fashion, many people opt for monochrome or neutrals to be safe. But, as street style influencers and fashion week attendees have proven season after season, adding a non-traditional colour, such as green (the colour that’s been everywhere recently), can elevate your outfit and make you stand out in all the right ways.
But what colour goes well with green? How do you match your already existing wardrobe with forest green, olive green or neon green? Somewhat surprisingly, green goes well with equally as bright colours, such as yellow and orange, and looks great colour-blocked with green matching from top-to-toe. For those who are just dipping their aforementioned toes into the hue, add it in subtle ways, such as accessorising with a green clutch or a green belt.
Below, we’ve rounded up all the colours that compliment green and exactly how to wear the shade well. Picture evidence, of course, provided.
1. Colour Blocking
For those who want to dive right in, wear a matching green combo, such as pants and a jacket or a coordinated suit.
2. Wearing Green As A Statement Accessory
If you’d like to start out slow, add colour to your wardrobe via accessories such as bags, jewellery, belts and shoes.
3. Wearing Green With Bright Contrasting Colours
What’s better than a bright green piece? A bright outfit! Pair green with hues such as yellow, orange or blue to really make a statement.
4. Wear Green Prints
Another way to dip your toes in is by mixing green with on-trend prints.
