From jewel-like emerald tones to utility-inspired khakis and a slew of tropical hues in between, there are countless covetable variations of the colour green – which is just one reason we’re loving this vibrant shade as an unexpected neutral for smart and casual wardrobes alike. Yep, neutral. (It’s also an example of dopamine dressing at its finest – just try slipping a vivid green dress on with clashing orange and tell us you’re not even a little bit happier.) Feeling slightly wary about wearing something quite so bright? Trust us; this mood-boosting hue is actually incredibly versatile, working with tonal shades and contrasting colours alike. Think slipping a bright green mini on under oversized shirting, or layering a long maxi dress over high-top trainers for easy weekends. Heading to a summer wedding? Bright green shades are a great option for dressier occasions, too, particularly if it’s set in a sunny locale; opt for a long-sleeved wrap-over dress in shimmering satin for something super dressy, or tone things down with a patterned maxi over sky-high heels. And speaking of summer, our own selection of Hush green dresses includes plenty of options whipped up from lightweight, comfortable jersey that’s great for balmier days, whether you’re exploring sun-dappled cobbled streets or braving the summer back here in the city. But it’s not just the power of the green summer dress we’re obsessing over; this wear-with-anything shade works if you’re planning on bringing a little brightness to grey days come the colder months, too. Choose a figure-fitting knitted midi in a bright green hue to wear between tonal ankle boots and long camel coats for the office, or make your warm-weather mini work for winter by bundling it under oversized knits and over classic cowboy boots for a contemporary look.
