I am relatively new to wearing green ( I usually go for blue), but am liking it more and more since last year. My preferred shades are blue based, especially emerald and mint, then olive ( which I consider a neutral),although I will wear shades like citron and apple green in little accents only ( cami, accessories).

I also absolutely adored Laura’s blue-green outfit and am actually looking to closely reproduce it. I especially like blue-greens with purple. Unlike you Angie, I am a big fan of emerald green with navy, especially if a touch of cream/white is added.

I already have some green sweaters and tops form last spring, so this year I will be looking for some green accessories to add to my wardrobe ( belt/shoes, maybe a scarf), since I will be getting some spring clothing items in deeper purple, which appears to be available for spring even if it is traditionally a fall color. Since it is one of my best colors, I will not complain, and green accessories will be perfect with it.

I’m so excited about this trend! I love green (it matches my eyes), but have a hard time finding one that looks good on me (most that are normally available are too cool or too drab). I was able to find a green dress that I just love and get lots of compliments on whenever I wear it. I’d love to find a few more things before the choices become limited again.

I think it’s safe to say that green is one of my favourite colours, ever! (when I was about 18, I had about 21 green woollen sweaters in my closet;-) At the moment I have only two: something tells me I will be adding some more green to my wardrobe very soon…

I am wearing a green cardigan right now. I re-discovered green last summer, and I really love it. This weekend I saw a beautiful green trench at H&M, but once I tried it on, I realized it looked a lot better on the hanger. The cut was just not right. I’ve also been craving a green purse for about two years. It’s time to take care of that right now.
I love the scarf and the belts in the collage above.

You’ve seen my green biker jacket. Just the other day I was wearing my blue and white dress over jeans with a grass cardigan. And I’m super excited about these shoes which I got in avocado:

Green is good!

It’s such a great color because it can trend warm or cool, so everyone can find their shade. Don’t you also feel it’s an upbeat color? Green always lifts my mood. Purple & green is my personal favorite color combo ever.

Thanks for the post, Angie – I’ll be looking to add a bit of green to my wardrobe too this spring.

What a timely post!!

Green is foreign to me, and I’m OK with that. I get a dose of green in blue/greens.

But this weekend we’re having our picture taken for a third party and they requested that a couple of our children wear green. Right on trend, hopefully I can find something.

i will brave wearing green – even though i feel a bit leprechaun when i do…i still remember kids teasing me because of my red hair…like i was the Lucky Charms poster-girl….but now…i am ready!

Green has been my favorite color since I was a little girl. I even have apple green walls in the living room of my house because that bright burst of color brings me so much joy! I love all the shades of emerald even down to a nice olive. I’m definitely happy this is a trend that more folks are grativating towards.

When I was a kid, my mother thought I looked good in what she called “kelly green.” She was half right. I do look good in green, but it needs to more muted and less pastel. Today, I’m wearing a sort of olive green knit shirt with a chocolate brown blazer. I think green and brown are a very nice combination. I am surprised how much I’ve worn the chocolate blazer — it goes with everything. I esp. like it with pink or blue, but have also had success with orange and yellow.

Oh! More fellow green-loving YLF’ers. Fab.

Inge and dwj, like you, green has been one of my favourite colours forever (along with bright red and yellow). Ana, green matches my eyes too which is why we love to wear it.

Laura, clean greens are absolutely upbeat colours. Now you know why this site and my business card look the way they do

Tanya, I’m excited for you to try green with any of those shades of purple that you wear so well. It’s a delicious colour combination. And on that note Inge, you need a fabulous green scarf to go with your killer purple coat.

Patience, I LOVE that green biker jacket and those avocado shoes are yummy. Sounds like you’re wearing one of my all time best Spring colour combo’s right now.

Carissa, I can see an emerald green working with your complexion. Keep us posted on how your green adventure goes.

Lori, you crack me up. You look WONDERFUL in green. Red heads always do. Remember that gorgeous avocado green jacket we bought together at H&M a few years ago? I adore that colour on you. Especially with white and purple. So no more feeling: “ Hi, I’m Irish !” when you wear green. You wear it so well.

Kim from Nebraska, I adore olive greens too. How you’re wearing your green top and chocolate blazer sounds spot on.

The only greens that I don’t prefer are murky sage-tone greens . But I have seen those shades work beautifully on some woman.

Angie, I forgot to ask– besides citron and olive, are there shades of green that can be paired? I’ve been realizing that I can’t really wear my avocado shoes with the grass cardigan or kelly jacket. But I really love the color so I can’t convince myself to exchange for a different color.

“And on that note Inge, you need a fabulous green scarf to go with your killer purple coat.”

I really do, don’t I!
(as if you’d ever have to twist my arm when scarves are concerned:-)))

Personally I quite like the more murky (and sage) greens. They seem to look good with my skin tone. But brighter greens work too, and they are more cheerful indeed.

add me to the list of green lovers!! sometimes i wonder if my love of green is surpassing my love for pink i have a bright green winter coat, two green cardigans, new green shoes – i am loving the green!

i really adore the green belt you posted here! unfortunately, i’m on a “spending green” ban (aren’t i punny!)

Right now the only green items I have are an apple green sweater and emerald green v-neck tunic top, so I’m on the lookout for a few more green items. A cami and a scarf (I love that one in the photo!) would be nice. Blue greens, apple green, citron, and deep emerald greens are flattering colors on me–but for some reason I can’t wear muted shades like olive, army green, and gray-green.

Heavens! I love that green trench! I don’t have much green in my wardrobe, but perhaps it’s time for a change.

I love green too. I have a few faves – an emerald crop blazer from Banana Republic, a kelly green cardigan recently purchased and a knit card/blazer style sweater from Ann Taylor.
Those jewel tones look so good with grays and whites. I want to try to find some prints to mix them up with this season.
And I covet a deep green handbag! Lovely inspiration on a grey,rainy day Angie.

green has always been in for me- it is my favorite color and it looks good on me-so I was excited to see all the different popular kinds of green this year!

I have the exact same reservations as you, Angie – no red/green or emerald/navy. But I’m excited to play with my greens a bit more and unearth some fresh color combos.

I LOVE GREEN!!! Such a great post, I have always worn every shade of green imaginable, except really bright kelly green. (Do not know if that will change). I love that trench and am considering trying it on! I also love all those murky greens,along with citron and turquoise. How delightful that green is here!
Note my name, says something about my love of green!

Green has been my favorite color since I can remember and my eyes are green. My mom calls me the green person.
I am so glad to hear that green is big for the upcoming season. I bought a “bud green” DVF jacket last year and was afraid it would be so over this year. The color is similar to the apple green trench above. Any suggestions on how to pair it up with other colors? When I met you for lunch Angie, I wore it over a white T and I cannot think of any other way to wear it. The model is not helping as it looks like she has dark jeans on, and no top under the trench. If I were to add a color for the top under the green jacket, would it have to match in the intensity of the color? That might hurt the eyes. I’m so confused.
Thanks for the nod to green!

I love green and was always afraid to wear it. I thought it was a “bad” color for me. Angie, you told me I would look good in green, and I thought about why I thought I didn’t look good in green, and I had absolutely no basis for that thought. It was just one of those things that I told myself a million years ago (probably in some teenage angst moment) and carried with me. Now, I own quite a bit of green, and am complimented whenever I wear it. I prefer crisp and bright greens, (like grassy green) and muted tones of olive. My least favorite shade of green is kelly and emerald is nipping at kelly’s heels. But I don’t avoid those shades, I just prefer to wear them as accent colors. I love the soft pear green that you’ve highlighted–it’s almost yellow–but not quite. Yay for green!

Inge, YOU are one of those lasses who can wear sage.

Patience, I wear citron with any green and like to pair lime with emerald. Those new avocado shoes will work with your blue tops so no worries. Keep them.

Shell, the sky must be falling down. Green took over from pink? Unbelievable!

Chris, I wore a citrus green cowl neck jumper yesterday and it was raining cats and dogs here in Seattle. To your point, it made for a cheery day. Meredith, I want to see you wear green the next time we have tea

Greenglove, I knew you would chime in on how much you love the colour green. It’s your signature shade and you wear it beautifully.

Nicole, glad you got the green light (now I’m punny too, Shell).

San, you look killer in that DVF jade blazer. Try pairing it with murky purples and navy. That won’t hurt your eyes. Black, white, cream and grey are also good. I know you’ll make it work.

I guess I am the odd one out. I have virtually no green in my wardrobe nor do I particularly want any. I too like citron and I have a chartreuse dress, but it’s not something I want to see a lot of in my closet. It’s not that I don’t like green–but when I have a choice between it and other colors, I usually go for one of the other colors. I also have lots of red in my wardrobe, and I also don’t like the Christmasy effect. Green with turquoise and blue is pretty though. I’m sure lots of ladies here wear green well, so I will enjoy it on them!

I have loved green more and more after wearing it with my purply-blue coat! I’ve been wearing a sea-green color lately, pairing it with white and yellow. Is it true that olive is a neutral color? I feel like it is too muted and washes me out, so I’ve always stayed away from it.

Maya, apart from very sour shades of blue and turquoise, I guess I feel about blue the same way you feel about green.

LE, I do not regard olive as a neutral. Are you thinking of khaki?

I used to wear a lot of green because I felt most comfortable with it since it matched my eyes. However, I wasn’t very selective about the shades and often would end up with greens that were too dark or too murky. Then for a while I mainly stuck to neutrals, but I am rediscovering green and this time I think I have a better idea on the shades. And I am excited about the green items I got at the swap!

I have the same feeling about green/red combo, not so much because of Christmas, but because they are opposite colors, like blue and orange. However, I don’t have any bad associations with emerald green/navy

I love green and have always owned a lot of green. (Okay, I own a lot of almost every color I like). I got a new lime/apple/kelly type green cardigan for Valentine’s Day that I plan to wear Tuesday!

I forgot to mention that I own this emerald green corduroy pea coat that I get compliments on every single time I wear it. Some people have gone so far as to yell out of a passing car how much they love this coat. It is probably the best piece of clothing that I own.

There is a tote I have picked out that has a nice spring green metallic zebra print on it. I knew as soon as I saw it that the green shade was the one I would get. I do not wear or own much green though; it doesn’t seem like it’s been very in the last few years.

I tried on a beautiful shamrock green dress today at JCPenney from the American Living line, the color had such a mood-elevating effect!

Love green! It’s so fresh and clean. That green trench is rocking!

This is wonderful news. Like Ana, I have green eyes but have difficulty finding greens that look good on me. I tend to be drawn to army green, sage green and similar shades. Brighter greens, especially those tending toward yellow (like apple green, lime green, and citron) make me look ill. I’m thrilled to hear that we will be seeing a variety of greens in stores this season though. It’s such a happy color.
