Focus on green:

3 styling tips

Green symbolizes strength, wisdom, calmness and self-confidence, and evokes a feeling of comfort and coziness - it's not surprising that this color has already endeared it's way into many interiors and is now conquering the fashion world as well. The color is popping up everywhere: from Fashion Week to your Instagram feed; a color that breaks through the neutral color tones in every fashionista's wardrobe. Get inspired by our styling tips with the color green, from olive green to mint green and everything in between, and prepare your wardrobe for the new season.

Whether a shade of green is warm or cool is determined by the pigments in the color. For example, more blue pigment creates a cool shade of green and more yellow pigment creates a warm shade of green. Warm green shades have names such as olive green, moss green, army green, yellow green and khaki green. Khaki green and army green are green shades that are versatile in use; colors with an edgy, yet neutral character and a super stylish feel. These warm tones can be combined with beige, brown, black, denim blue and sand shades. 

When you know what color type you are, you can tell right away whether it's better to wear the warm or cool greens. Cool greens have names like blue green, emerald green, mint green and bottle green. Greens combine beautifully with other earth tones, which is no secret to many fashion lovers, but did you know that green also combines effortlessly with white, grey and pink? For example, you can combine a jade green sweater with off-white pants or a petrol top with dark grey pants. Even with cool greens, denim is always a casual combination to opt for.

The easiest way to combine green is to go tonal - or in other words, a color-on-color look. For example, think of a greyish dark green tone combined with army green and deep green for a calm appeal. This will emphasize the color group and you can even combine warm and cool green nuances together. Try adding one item in a brighter shade, such as fresh or apple green, for greater impact. This can be either a top or cardigan, or a bright accessory: a scarf, bag or shoes.
