Below we’ve compiled a list of some of the very best color combinations you can use when wearing green. To find some inspiration, simply keep reading below.
Green: An Overview
Before we jump in and take a look at some of the key colors that you can pair with green to create a stylish look, first let’s give a brief overview of the color.
You can create a whole host of different looks using the color green, from incredibly bold neons, or more subtle natural tones.
It’s become increasingly popular in recent years, and was actually named the color of the year in 2022.
With more and more celebrities donning green attire, it’s easy to find inspiration for different styles and color combinations. To find out more about these different styles, keep reading below.
Green And White
Possibly one of the best color combinations that you can make with green is pairing it alongside white. This can help to give the color an elegant yet striking contrast.
Although it’s incredibly neutral, when paired with a bolder sea green, or neon, it can really make your outfit stand out and pop.
If on the other hand, you’ve got more of an olive green in mind, white can help it to remain neutral, giving it an understated, stylish look.
Green And Black
Next, let’s move on to look at an equally neutral tone that works really well when paired with green.
Black helps to give an incredible depth to green, and is an incredibly safe option if you can’t find anything else in your wardrobe that you think might work.
You’ll often find green and black mixed together in patterned pieces, and this helps to give the garment depth and sophistication, without forgoing any of the liveliness of the green.
Green With Green
If you’ve got a few green pieces in your wardrobe, why not try pairing them together to see if they work?
Monochrome has become increasingly fashionable in recent years, but that doesn’t mean that you can add in some different gradients.
By pairing lime, mint, and emerald together, you can create an incredibly bold, stylish look that really stands out, whilst still keeping within the confines of the color palette.
Green And Red
Some people might have yet to discover the beauty demonstrated by green and red paired together. If you really want to make a splash, these colors are bound to make you stand out.
Red and green make a very expensive looking pairing, and it’s no wonder that they’re the classic colors associated with Gucci. In order to make the pairing even more stylish, add some gold jewelry into the mix.
Green And Gray
If you’re looking for something a bit more neutral, then we suggest that you opt for green and gray as your perfect pairing.
Because gray is a transitional color, you can pair it with both bright, verdant greens, and natural mossy greens.
You can use gray to really bring out the earthy tones in your outfit, making it a perfect choice for autumn.
Green And Orange
Although initially these two might appear as though they wouldn’t match, green and orange can work well together, but this is completely dependent on the shades you choose.
If you want to appropriately pair orange and green together, then make sure that the ones that you’re choosing have an earthy tone, as these work really well with burnt orange. This helps to create the perfect fall look.
Green And Blue
If you want to create a tropical look, then it’s a good idea to pair your green clothing items with blue. We’ve all heard the old quote, ‘blue and green should never be seen’, but this simply isn’t the case.
Pairing light blue along with darker shades of green can help to create an incredibly rich look. You can also reverse that and choose a lighter green with a darker blue or navy.
One of the easiest ways that you can create this look is simply by donning some denim. Be that a jacket, or a pair of trousers, denim can give your green pieces a super effortless and stylish look.
Green And Brown
If you’re looking for one of the earthiest color combinations possible, what could be better than green and brown paired together.
These colors remind us of the very earth itself. These work really well when combined together in a plaid type pattern.
Beige is also a safe bet to pair green with if you’re still in the early stages of experimenting with the color.
You could try pairing your green dress or blouse with a long, oversized beige trench coat, which are very in style at the moment.
Final Thoughts
Green is an incredibly versatile color that can work well both with bold, overstated colors, as well as more natural tones.
If you’re just starting to try out some green pieces in your wardrobe, we recommend choosing neutral colors such as beige, black, white, and gray as some stylish pairings.
If, however, you’re looking for some more statement looks, you can pair green with red, orange, or blue.
