March is finally here, which means St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner! Looking for ways to wear green in a way that doesn’t look like you have turned into Shrek? Have no fear, because there are plenty of ways to incorporate green into your wardrobe this Spring while still looking stylish!

1. Green Skinny Jeans

Colored skinny jeans have become a very popular way to add some color to an outfit, so it would only make sense to apply this strategy when looking for opportunities to wear more green. Find a pair of flattering green skinny jeans and pair them with a top of a neutral color like white, grey, cream, or black. With this style, the green won’t be overwhelming.

 

2. Green tops with pants

If colored skinny jeans are not your cup of tea, simply wear a green top with a pair of pants that you already own. There are a number of shades of green available to experiment with, so once you find the type that works for you, you can pair it with pants of a multitude of colors including white, light brown, black, or dark wash blue jeans.

 

3. Green Dresses

If you are so bold, why not take the plunge and wear a green dress? You can dress it up with a pair of green or yellow heels and jewelry or dress it down with a cute cardigan and flats. When wearing green dresses, yellow, gold, and navy blue accessories can really help tie the look together.

 

4. Green Accessories

Not looking to add any new large pieces to your outfit collection? Simply wear green accessories with an outfit that you already have! Adding a cute green statement necklace or green chunky bracelet will instantly add a pop of color to your outfit. To bring the look together, wear neutral colored clothing and add green jewelry and heels or other footwear.

 

Even though a color like green can seem intimidating to wear, with the huge variety of items out there available and so many shades of green to choose from, it can be incredibly easy to find the perfect outfit to avoid getting pinched this St. Patrick’s Day!
