How to Wear Green for Peace, Love & Colorful Outfits!

As I write this, St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. But and St. Patrick’s Day and Earth Day are not the only times of year to wear green. There are many reasons to wear this color. As plants bud in the springtime and become lush in the summer, dressing in green surrounds you with the fresh and vibrant energy of life. The peaceful feeling it evokes makes for a good mood. Green can also be therapeutic for the heart. With all that goodness, I decided it would be great to explore how to wear green more often for colorful outfits. Age doesn’t matter when you add such a youthful, invigorating color to your style!

How to Wear Green for Peace, Love & Colorful Outfits

The Healing Mood of Green

For many people, the color green has strong associations with nature and brings to mind the lush greens of grass, trees, and forests. Green is often described as a refreshing and tranquil color. During times of stress, wearing green can be almost as calming as taking a walk in nature.

In color therapy, green is healing for the heart. For more love, joy and happiness, correct your heart chakra by wearing green.

What Colors Go Best With Green?

Green is a color that goes with anything, as do turquoise and denim blue. Here are some colors that pair especially well with green:

Green + white, black, navy, gray, taupe, blue-green, blue, yellow, red, coral, pink, turquoise, lilac, yellow green or other greens

Examples:

1. A green wrap top + a blue skirt or pants
2. A white cardigan and shell top (such as a cardigan, tank or tee) + a green skirt or pants
3. An ivory top and pants + a green cardigan

Other Shades of Green

Besides all the colors to combine with green in general, here are some colors to combine with certain shades of green:

Jade + spruce, navy, antique white or plum

Mint green + peach, coral, poppy red or cobalt blue

Sea green + ivory, light-to-medium yellow, peach, lavender, darker blues, tan or chocolate brown

Pale or pastel green + dark green or red

Dark green + sky blue, white, beige, bright red or pale yellow

Green as a Colored Neutral

Olive, moss and forest green can be used as neutrals. This means they can be worn with just about any color. Other names for neutral greens are eucalyptus, fern, juniper, army green and khaki green.

Best Pairings for Green Colored Neutrals

Pair olive with rust, coral, violet red or red violet, purple or mustard (for more color pairings and examples, see my post “What Colors Go Best With Olive” HERE.)

Example:  A rust top, tunic or duster with olive pants.

Wear army green with coral or peach to take it from neutral to colorful.

Moss green goes well with red, persimmon, lilac or purple or pink for more colorful outfits.

Olive and moss green both look good with light blue or teal.
