Earth tones continue to trend with popularity here in the US, and mossy greens are part of the versatile palette. Mossy green is not quite chartreuse, and not quite lime. It’s more like a yellow olive and on the warmer side of the colour spectrum. It’s a great green to wear year round in seasonally appropriate fabrics and silhouettes, if it tickles your fancy.
Onto outfits that incorporate mossy green.
1. Navy and Black
Wear mossy green with navy and/or black. Here, a pair of mossy green pants is combined with a navy cardigan that’s worn as a top. The top and bottom parts of the cardigan are left un-buttoned to create interesting V-shapes to the silhouette. Metallic toe-loop sandals with black soles match the model’s hair. The black bag matches the palette. I like the use of mismatched navy instead of matching the black. Looks rich and unexpected. Feel free to match with a black top.
2. Patterned
Wear mossy green as part of a pattern like the dress shown here if wearing a solid is too much of a commitment. The colour-rich dress is summery, and can work well into Autumn. A brown necklace with wooden pendant match the polished brown suede thong sandals. Add a bag that works with the palette.
3. Brown and Cream
Mossy greens look great with creams and earthy browns. Here, a mossy green top is combined with a pair of cropped cream barrel jeans. A gingerbread suede topper with Mary Jane flats in a lighter shade of gingerbread are the brown components of the look. Add a bag that works with the palette.
4. Two-Piece Dress
If mossy green is your colour, make a head-to-toe statement with it. Here, a mossy green top and skirt create a matching set, or co-ord. Cream mesh flats are the on trend shoes of choice, and effectively dress down the look. Add a bag that works with the palette.
5. Camouflage
Mossy greens can sometimes be found in green camouflage patterned clothing like in these Ralph Lauren items. On the left, a pair of relaxed camouflage pants is combined with a big white tee. Toffee boots and bag, and a gingerbread belt are the earthy completers of the look. On the right, an oversized camouflage jacket is worn over a chambray shirt and pair of mismatched olive utility pants. White sneakers with gum soles match the toffee bag. Add jewellery, eyewear, and watch as desired.
