Check out these forest green fashions as the perfect stand-in for your all-black winter wardrobe. It’s time to give head-to-toe black a rest and turn to this deep hue.
Here’s my latest article as Contributing Editor for Closer Weekly all about adding forest green to your wardrobe and how to wear it. Plus, additional stylish green wardrobe pieces to add to your closet.
Forest green makes feminine outfits appear more glamorous than girlie.
If this color were a person we’d say she isn’t showy or desperate for attention; she’s confident.
How to wear forest green:
Think outside of black and white. Pair this inky hue with navy, cranberry, plum or gray. Your look won’t be boring.
Think pink. A berry lip is the way to go. Unless it’s Christmas day, red will look too kitschy.
Get saturated. Because it’s so close to the depth of black, forest green looks great head to toe. Match your dress and shoes for a streamlined, sophisticated look.
