Updated • May 3 • Dress for a Night • Designer Dress Hire

Green is the colour of the season. The spring season brings a new light after the dark and dull period of winter. With the bright and youthful colours that spring brings to the world of fashion, green is the one that is standing out the most. From vibrant greens to earthy tones, everyone is loving a green dress at the moment.
How do you style a green dress? We will unpack all the different ways to elevate your look and get you ready for your spring events.

We have previously discussed what colours go with emerald and sage greens - the most popular shades, but lets reiterate. If you would like to read more on how to style a green dress, click here.

Green's complementary colour is red. Dark greens will go perfectly with all shades of red. Don't like red? Opt for coral colours or pinks to similarly elevate your look.

Pink definitely goes with green. We love bright pink accessories to match a green dress - whether its emerald, dark, or a vibrant green, pink is a must. If you love to step out of your comfort zone and go bold, complementing a green dress with pink accessories will create a statement look for your next event.

You can never go wrong with a simple nude shoe and clutch. This makes your dress the statement piece, and adds a touch of elegance and simplicity to your look.

As lighter colours are softer, you don't want to go too overboard with your accessories. This means that adding a vibrant colour to a soft green dress, may add harshness to your outfit. We love nude shoes with light colours for a seamless look.

Gold or silver accessories can elevate a light green dress and still make your look seamless. If you want to add a fun accessory, we love the metallics for this very reason.

After all the colours mentioned above, you must be wondering - does black go with green clothes? The answer is, of course!

Black accesories with dark green dresses are the perfect match. Black with light green may be too harsh with your look and we'd recommend to pair it with white instead.
