Brief history of green color in garments

In art and history, green was the color of wealth, prosperity, and hope. During the Medieval Age and Renaissance in Europe, merchants and bankers wore green. It’s not a coincidence that both Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci and the bride in the Arnolfini portrait by Jan van Eyck wear green dresses. Plus, there are many other famous paintings of women in green dresses. For example, “Camille (The Woman in the Green Dress)” by Claude Monet, “The Green Gown” by Thomas Edwin Mostyn, “Young Lady with Gloves (Girl in a Green Dress)” by Tamara de Lempicka, etc. So, the next time you have doubts about wearing a green dress, just think that you will have a classy look, especially for formal and cocktail occasions.

Dark green dresses go with white, black, brown, beige, and nude accessories. But, it also creates charming looks with vibrant accessories in pink, purple, blue, and mustard yellow colors. And, of course, there is the monochromatic choice of combining different shades of green.
