Reconnect with nature this year in Pantone’s pick of the year - Greenery, which has been growing strong on and off the runway. This summer there are a few ways to wear this trend without looking like a garden yourself. Here are the simple Do’s and Don’ts of wearing nature’s favourite colour.
1) Minimal is in!
When it comes to the colour ‘Greenery’, keeping it minimal is absolutely necessary. Opt for a summer dress or blouse to begin with and accessorize it with more neutral pieces such as white trousers, blue jeans or beige sandals. The vibrant shade of green will be balanced when paired with neutral shades. This keeps the look minimal and is apt for those of you who wish to don this trending colour yet do not wish to make a statement look.
2) Carry complementary pieces
Keeping it minimal with a nature inspired green dress may not be your cup of tea; you can opt to carry separate pieces in this vivid hue. Go for a green sling bag or try on some summer sandals in this rich shade. Style these accessories with subtle shades that do not clash with the colour scheme, giving your look a new edge.
3) Pair statement jewellery with darker shades
Jewellery designers have set the trends for the year with the uplifting shades of green. You can pair green stones with darker shades which will add some contrast, such as purple and black. The emerald stone is the perfect fit for adding a shade of greenery to your outfit. Similarly, in order to wear a statement neckpiece or earrings in the greenery shade, make sure the outfit colours are darker.

4) Add it to your manicure routine
If fashion has a fresh take on this lively colour, why should beauty stay behind? One sure shot way to enhance your look this summer is with Greenery inspired nail art. There is no limit to the choice of designs ranging from leaf motifs to a metallic sheen on your nails.
5) Go Indian!
Whether you opt for a solid green silk saree or an embroidered kurti this summer, this colour will brighten up your look. Try wearing it during the day as it gives off the summer vibe. Pair greenery inspired kurtis with beige or white palazzos as they are easy to wear during the day. With such a striking colour, keep the rest of your accessories quite subtle and neutral. A head-to-toe green ensemble will not be easy to pull off.
