As the superstition goes, those who don’t wear green on St. Patrick’s Day will be punished with a playful, unlucky pinch. Green may not be your favorite palette to work with but rather than wasting the day in hiding, desperately avoiding the grip of such cruel fashion critics, try these trendy style tips!
EFFORTLESS GREEN
The common mistake every year is that too many women limit themselves to the standard, fluorescent shade of green. Don’t neglect all the other variations that are begging to be recognized. There are plenty of green tones that are stylish and don’t give off the vibe that you’d been planning your St. Patty’s Day look for weeks, (even if you did). A Forest-green tank or army pants have a hip, faded shade to add grunge to your look. Mint green in the form of a silk top or maxi dress is the perfect subtle approach to creating the light, spring look you’re searching for. However, be wary when wearing turquoise; although it is in the seafoam family, it is often misconceived as blue. Some ignorant friend of yours might not be so forgiving on St. Patty’s Day.
PATTERN FRENZY
If the amount of green in your wardrobe is scarce, use those patterned pieces that you love so much to achieve the desired green look. Using a flower and leaf patterned top is a subtle way to have that clover-charm without straying too far out of your comfort zone. Dare to be bold with geometric patterns, or add green accessories to make the green in your multicolored dress stand out.
SOMETHING GREEN
The best excuse for wearing a Fendi bag or green druzy necklace - make your clothes effortless and neutral, then bring out the glam by accessorizing. The opportunities are endless with this option because you need not worry about whether or not a necklace is flattering or if those Jeffrey Campbell heels make you look like a leprechaun. How about green mirror lens sunglasses, or a silk scarf ? Have fun with this; it’s where the exciting shades of green are best used and most flattering!
