Styling green offers endless possibilities for creating both versatile and striking looks. Try these:
1. Prints and Patterns: Experiment with prints and patterns such as floral or geometric shapes. This adds visual interest and dimension. You'll see in my cover photo, our Narielle Dress from our 2020 Vintage Collection - a pretty, bright shade of green coupled with deliciously red roses. This dress can be easily styled with a white tailored jacket for the office as well as dangling pearl earrings for a garden wedding or date.
2. Monochromatic Ensemble: Try different shades of green in varying tones and textures for a sophisticated monochromatic look. This creates depth while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. See here our Green Batik Cheongsam made in Nov 2022, where I made use of the border print at the hem, and repeated it at the accent collar for balance.
This mother-daughter picture shows different textures of green put together for a textually-interesting yet cohesive look:
3. Statement Pieces: Use green as a statement color by incorporating it into key pieces such as a tailored blazer, a flowy maxi dress, or a bold trench coat. Opt for vibrant shades like lime (see picture below) or teal to make a statement, or choose more subdued tones like forest green for a classic and elegant vibe.
4. Accessorize: Accessories are a great way to add pops of green to your outfit without overwhelming your look. Consider accessorizing with green shoes, handbags, scarves, or jewelry to add a touch of color and personality to your ensemble.
5. Mix and Match: Don’t be afraid to mix green with other colors to create unique and stylish combinations. Pair green with complementary colors like blue or yellow for a vibrant look, or with neutrals like white, beige, or gray for a more subdued and sophisticated ensemble.
Overall, styling green allows for creativity and individual expression. Whether you prefer bold and eye-catching looks or subtle and understated elegance, there are countless ways to incorporate green into your wardrobe to suit your personal style and aesthetic preferences.
