It’s a green-with-envy kind of feeling when it comes to spring and during this seasonal transitional period, green is becoming a hot colour for the season. From vibrant wool coats over a pair of comfy jeans, to a well-tailored blazer, the colour green is becoming a major showstopper this season. There are multiple shades of green, from very bright to almost neon, and a much deeper olive tone. The colour itself is normally not as popular to be shown on the cover of a magazine because it doesn’t sell. People simply don’t like this colour and find it problematic when it comes to working this hue into their wardrobes.
It isn’t just clothing that can make wearing green difficult, you can opt for an accessory or a pair of shoes to introduce green as an accent colour with your outfit. Nostalgic fashion is here to stay, and the 90s styles are coming on strong where green is featured. If you look at that era it was very bold and had a presence. The colour green was featured very often with different styling techniques. Even brands like Kate Spade have been reviving green through not just her clothing, but with the iconic Sam bag which was reintroduced this year.
If you would like to be the queen of green in various shades here are some examples of how to add this hue to your wardrobe this spring.
History Of The Colour Green
Green is the colour of life, reflected in nature as a sign of renewal. As a bright, positive colour, green has many cultural meanings in religion and art. The name “green” is related to the Old English word “grene,” the term for the colour of living plants. Since green evokes calmness and serenity, architects and designers often implement the colour in environments like hospitals. In the Elizabethan era, green was a common colour for wedding gowns for brides in the lower and middle classes. As a combination of yellow’s optimism and blue’s calmness, green is a positive colour.
