Discover beautiful dark green dresses and how to style them with pretty accessories not only for casual outfits but also for festive looks. The green color is a timeless selection for dresses and there are many reasons for this. Firstly, it’s a fabulous choice both for casual and formal looks. And, secondly, it has shades for any season. Vivid lighter, or soft pastel greens are perfect for spring and summer green dresses and dark green shades are ideal for winter elegant green dresses.



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.


Styling dark green dresses with accessories

In the visible spectrum, the green color is between cyan and yellow and it matches beautifully with a variety of colors from neutrals to vibrant shades. 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.
