Go green: Everyday outfit ideas

Shades of green are everywhere this spring – from Wicked-inspired emerald hues to softer mint and pistachio shades. A khaki utility-style jacket is the simplest way to add green to your wardrobe. Like denim, its neutral tone pairs effortlessly with everything, from jeans to floral dresses, offering a fresh take on casual dressing.

Or why not choose a pair of sage green trousers: pair with neutrals such as cream, white and grey or try unexpected shades such as burgundy, blue or silver for a striking contrast.

While darker greens work beautifully for structured pieces and evening wear, lighter shades such as mint or pistachio pair well with denim. Team a pistachio-coloured jumper with a denim midi skirt or a striped mint shirt with wide-leg jeans for a relaxed, yet polished look.

Green outfit ideas for work

Move beyond the usual black and white: a touch of green can reboot your workwear for the new season. Green creates a calming yet confident aura, making it an ideal choice for the office.

A well-tailored green blazer offers a sophisticated alternative to classic black. Softer hues like mint can brighten your professional wardrobe during warmer months when paired with more neutral basics.

A green midi dress or dark green jumpsuit creates the foundations for a green work outfit that is elevated yet still office-appropriate. Pair with a blazer and minimal accessories for a professionally polished look that transitions effortlessly from daytime meetings to evening events.

Mastering monochromatic green

Creating a striking all-green outfit is easier than you might think. For a foolproof and effortless look, try a matching co-ord to colour drench from head to toe.

If you're building a green look from scratch, experiment with mixing different shades of green. Try these dark khaki trousers combined with a pale green blouse to create a rich, layered effect.

Texture is your friend when it comes to wearing one colour head-to-toe. Mix a simple crew-neck sweatshirt with a crinkled midi skirt, or a denim jacket with linen trousers, all in varying tone of green. Don't shy away from patterns either. A subtle green floral printed slip skirt or a gingham dress can add depth and dimension when paired with solid green.

What goes well with green

Wondering what goes well with green (other than green)? Blue tones, from soft pastels to deep navy create a calm and stylish contrast, emphasising green's vibrancy. And, of course, most shades of green look strong styled with denim.

For a grounded, earthy feel, brown hues like caramel or chocolate work beautifully, highlighting green's natural essence, while neutrals such as grey (or even silver) allow green to truly pop.

Looking for a stronger contrast? Team green with pink for a playful combination. Pair soft greens or khakis with pastel pinks or dial up the contrast and mix bright green with a hot pink for a truly statement-making outfit.
