How To Rock It

-

Beginner

If you’re a newbie to green why not start o with something small? Try a pair of green socks when you are wearing your darker jeans or navy suit. It doesn’t matter on the shade, just pick up a pair and rock them with some brown lace ups and you can’t go wrong. Or maybe a green patterned pocket square? Or even a simple green tie? Try them out, see how they t in with your own style and then wear with pride!

Advanced

Or maybe that’s a little too subtle for your liking? Well, that’s ne; try something a bit more substantia­l. So I’m talking knitwear, shirts and trousers. An earthy forest green cardigan looks great over a white shirt/black tie combo and some indigo jeans.Pick yourself up a pair of dark green chinos and wear them with a pink shirt and a brown v-neck jumper. Or why not just settle for a light mint green shirt as the perfect complement to the essential navy blazer?

Master

But what if you have already got green socks and pocket squares? Already mastered the art of the green gingham shirt? That’s ne, it’s just time to invest in some quality. A green suit can be a great complement to any tailored wardrobe providing you nail the basics of good t, proportion­s and shade – a rich emerald green would be perfect. Pair it will light blues and reds for the best results. If the full suit seems a bit too much for you, why not go for a less structured green blazer in a lighter shade for the summer months? Just make sure to keep the rest of the out t neutral to let the jacket do the talking. At the very least a military green utility jacket is a must.
