Still sometimes unloved, this shade of green rather cold and fairly bright yet gives depth and style to the silhouette. A color to adopt gently in your wardrobe.
In fashion - as in the theater where he is still banned on stage - the green is still far from unanimous. "Its odds have rocked from one era to another: sometimes love it, others hate it, and according to opinion polls, almost as many people have green as their favorite color. %) than for hated color, supposed to bring bad luck ", recalls the historian Michel Pastoureau. But since the color chart Pantone elected her color of the year in 2013, emerald green is a shade more and more popular. Inspired by the glittering gem of which it bears the name, the emerald green is characterized by its brightness and luminosity.
Why do we like it?
Less flashy than green grass and less casual than khaki, emerald is a particularly feminine green. Its intensity brings a touch of innate elegance. We also love its mineral and vegetal side that sticks to our desires of nature. In winter, it reminds us of the forest; in the summer, it makes us travel with a lot of exotic and tropical prints.
How to adopt it?
OK, it's true: its frank color is not the easiest to wear. To tame it, we go step by step :
1.We start gently with some accessories . The easiest ? A bag . Tote bag or mini bag shoulder bag, for you to see. It enhances any office attire . The coolest ? A pair of suede city running : with a black pencil skirt and a sock sweater, this is the perfect look for the working girl. The most "wow"? A pair of wonderful wholesale shoes, pumps. And for an even more bluffing effect, choose them in a slightly glittering material.
2. One gets stronger with tops and pullovers associated with jeans, preferably in raw denim. A cool but chic equation.
3. Once you feel comfortable with a top, you can think of the big piece: a long beach dress in the summer, a little cocktail dress - strapless or with ruffles - for a wedding and long fluffy coat. This is the class assured!
What colors to wear with?
In summer, the yellow suits him very well. In winter, think of associations with gold and copper hues that will make the emerald green even deeper. Also, try the intense reds that pull on the burgundy for an ultra-chic look. And if in doubt, mix the green with the black: no risk of fake fashion!
