How to Wear Green Beyond St. Patrick's Day: Stylish Ways to Incorporate It into Your Wardrobe

Happy Monday and Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and for those of you coming off of Spring break I hope you enjoyed your Spring break as well. I am one of those who just came off of Spring break with my kiddos and it was very nice. The weather in Houston was nice all week and I was so surprised because we experience 4 seasons in one day or in a full week. Lord help us LOL! We went to the park most days due to the weather being nice and we also had a seafood boil at home. I am thankful that I was able to do this with them. Let me know in the comments how your Spring break was or if you are just now getting on Spring break what are your plans? As I wait for your comment let's get into today's blog post shall we!

Today is St. Patrick's Day and it is a tradition to wear green in this culture so that you do not get pinched and that it also brings you "luck". The color green also symbolizes wealth, prosperity, nature, rebirth, growth, and even jealousy or envy. But why limit this vibrant and elegant color to just one holiday? From deep emerald to soft sage, green is a power color that gives off confidence, rich girl era, and maturity. If you’ve been hesitant to add green to your wardrobe, I’m here to show you how to wear green beyond St. Patrick's Day!

1. Start Small with One Item

Not ready for a full-on green outfit? Ease into it with just one item of your choice! A structured emerald handbag, statement earrings, or even a bold green pair of pants can add a pop of color without overwhelming your look.

2. Elevate Neutrals with Green

A green blazer, trench coat, or chic sweater top is a great way to embrace the color without going overboard. Pairing a tailored olive green sweater with a classic khaki shorts and loafers creates an effortless, polished look.

3. Mix and Match with Earthy Tones

Green pairs beautifully with earth tones like brown, camel, tan, and rust. A dark green dress with tan hobo bag? Perfection. A dark green midi skirt with a cream sweater? Chic and effortless.

Style Tip: Green also complements animal prints like leopard or snakeskin for an edgier vibe.

4. Go Bold with a Monochrome Look

For my bold fashionistas—head-to-toe green is a power move! Wearing different shades of green together (think lime and emerald or sage and olive) creates a high-fashion, street-style look.

Style Tip: Pair a deep green satin blouse with matching tailored pants and gold accessories for a luxe, polished finish.

5. Experiment with Patterns & Prints

If solids feel intimidating, try breaking up the green in patterns like floral, stripes, or abstract prints. Adding a black and white stripe clutch breaks up the lime green and makes the color feel more approachable and fun.
