Green is the black of nature

With the warmer temperatures finally here, the flowers are starting to bloom. I love the vibrant colours of flowers. Last summer I would bring my camera on walks so I could take pictures of all the pretty blooms. I noticed that there wasn’t any flower colour that didn’t look beautiful against it’s green back drop, kinda like fashion where everything looks good with black. I wondered if you could translate green as a basic in fashion.

Funny that this is what I was thinking last year and now this year Pantone’s colour of the year is Emerald. I guess they think green can be a back drop in fashion as well.

With colour blocking trend still big this year, the emerald works perfectly. It’s a little more daring way to wear green but it looks so great. The colours I see the most out there are the fuchsia, magenta and purples together with green. An easy way to do colour blocking is to get a bright jacket or purse, super fun for spring and summer.

Deep green colours work great for pants, and maxi skirts and pair them with a bright pop of yellow or orange. I love how the yellow sweater has a similar texture as the yellow flowers. The lower picture paired the bright green and orange combo with neutral accessories so it’s not too over the top and childish looking.

Red and green combo might make you think of Christmas but choosing a pinky cherry or coral red and pair it with a green mini skirt. The bare legs makes it look fresh. Or even better throw a pop of yellow underneath and now it’s totally spring.

These combos are so easy. The 2 tones of pink with the green jeans have such a pretty preppy look. And I love the emerald green maxi skirt with the bright white shirt, and she even has a pop of yellow on her nails.

Nature not only is great inspiration for colour combinations but also textures. When I saw these leaves that had been eaten by bugs I loved the lacy texture and the layering of green colour.

So why not try green, on it’s own or pair it with a bold colour. I know I’m dying to find myself an emerald maxi skirt.
