ENCHANT IN EMERALD

- EMILY MONCKTON

WHAT better colour to welcome in the festive season than glorious green? This winter, set your sights on emerald velvets, shamrock silks and jade sparkles.

Look to the catwalk for ideas on how to work these gemstone shades into your wardrobe. With designers Jason Wu and Erdem Moralioglu both showcasing a sultry forest palette, High Street brands haven’t been short of inspiratio­n.

So as Christmas cocktail hour approaches, why not team a pair of green feather earrings with a black tuxedo jacket? Or, for the less adventurou­s, try sage velvet trousers with a cream satin blouse. You will leave your fellow partygoers green with envy.
