Every year it proposes “the color of the year” that will be reflected in the different visual trends of decoration and fashion, shades of green such as emerald and mint have earned this place.

Will a green dress suit me according to my skin tone?
A very easy way to know what type of skin tone you have and find out which colors favor you is by comparing whether silver or gold accessories look better on you. The former is associated with winter and summer skin, which is usually cooler with pink or blue undertones, while gold represents autumn and spring skin with yellow and brown undertones.

Green jumper cut
Jumpers, thanks to the help of social networks and more alternative styles, have become one of the most popular types of dresses for fashionistas.

It is the ideal kind of clothing to spend an autumn afternoon.

Green and animal print
We have different ways of incorporating animal print into a green dress. The first will obviously be through the accessories, these can range from a headband to a belt through the classic clutch, you choose the one that best suits your style. Another proposal is to wear it in footwear, some animal print stilettos go wonderfully with an emerald green draped dress. Finally, if you are one of those who dare much more, you can combine your green dress with an animal print coat. For this combination to look more elegant than bizarre, you should know that the rest of the accessories should be much more minimalist, small golden chains and black shoes will be the best way to wear it.

Green with black to play it safe
Black is undoubtedly still the favorite color when combining a color like green. It makes the whole look look much more sophisticated. You can combine a green dress either with black shoes, a leather jacket, or an American type if you are looking for something more formal.
-
Green dress with sneakers
A very authentic way to wear a dress, which we understand is a garment of total femininity, is to relax the outfit with white trainers. So that the look does not look so flat, choose patterned dresses. Most of the green patterned dresses have wefts of small white flowers, so it is best that the shoes are of that color. Combine it with a shoulder bag in earth tones and some sunglasses to not lose style.

Colors that go perfectly with a green dress
If you are one of those who bet more on trends and you already know that the classics such as black, white and nude are the main allies of green, you may want to make room for it to combine brighter tones. Wearing different colors in the same look has a name and we know it as color block.
The key is to wear colorful clothes, as long as they match the main color we are wearing. For this we must know which are the opposite and complementary colors that go best with green. And here is our list:
- Strong oranges, nothing pale or dull.
- Yellow, that can vary between a lime and a mustard.
- Fuchsia is perfect to combine with bright green.
- And of course electric blue.
Now, we already have the colors that go best with green, but how do we apply them to our look? Think that we are talking about a dress, so your outfit is almost complete. so the concern is not so much how but with what, then the key is in the plugins:
- First take into account the season of the year in which you are, if it is summer some sandals will be the best option, while if the temperatures are lower the footwear will have to be closed. In this second case you have to choose, boots, moccasins, round toe, with which you feel more comfortable will be fine.
- The same thing happens with coats as with shoes, in the middle of winter we will opt for a great cloth coat, while in mid-season you can vary between short jackets, shirts and even trench coats, because let’s remember that if you are looking for the classic brown, do not it will be your only option.
- And of course the ones that give life to our look, can be a belt, a bag, a hat and even a pair of earrings, the important thing is that whenever you can they are maxi, because the dress by itself no matter how colorful it is It doesn’t transmit too much.
Start experimenting with the shades of green that best suit you, and all you have to do is choose the style of dress you want to incorporate this color into your day-to-day life like a true fashionista.
