10 Christmas Season Outfits with Bright Green for Winter Inspiration

I will be posting Christmas season outfit inspiration Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri of this week (with Style Imitating Art on Wed).


Green + black post here. Red Christmas outfit idea posts from last week: red + black part 1, red + black part 2, red sweaters/tops/vests, red skirts/dresses/pants.


Today's focus is on shades of bright green: pure green, kelly green, shamrock green, emerald green...all the green colors with a lot of vivid, saturated color.


Green is a great Christmas color that doesn't have to be paired with black to be effective. Other neutrals, semi-neutrals, and accent colors can work well in a green holiday season outfit. Use green as a dominant color or as a pop of color against a neutral background. Incorporate seasonal textures like suede, velvet, faux fur, tweed, leather, and sweater knits...or not. Go all-in with touches of red and/or Christmas motif prints/jewelry or keep the nod to the season more subtle.


Here are 10 outfits from my previous OOTD with bright green suitable across a range of temperatures/weather and occasions for some Christmas season outfit inspiration. (Of course this color works outside the holiday season, too...so pin any outfits for future inspiration.)

Another way to wear bright green, red, or any colorful pants is with a modern twin set (one of my favorite things). Kay Harms demonstrated this color formula on her blog last week with red pants and a camel sweater + blazer.


Do you wear bright green? What colors do you like to wear it with in winter?

These are terrific outfits to feature your bright green wardrobe pieces. The bracelet stacks are the perfect accessories. Thank you for sharing this post in the Talent Sharing Tuesdays Link-Up 45.

Blue + green for the win, right? It's such a great and under-utilized combination.

Green and blue is a really pretty combo! I bought a teal green top last week and I paired it with a brown leather skirt and really like the combo. I may see what I can do with blue next week!

Green is one of those colors I shy away from. I think it's because I have green undertones in my coloring. So, it has to be the perfect green (as if anyone would wear an imperfect green)! I love the the green pants as the basis for what's going on on top!

That's interesting, Marsha - I have a lot of red in my face so I guess I'm wearing a complementary color combo when I wear green ;)

Bright green is a very cheerful "Jodie" color! It's funny about that vest...I don't have anything that matches it, but when I wear it with neutrals, esp. mixed neutrals, it makes a great outfit. Sometimes it's fun to have something outside your normal colors to pop with neutrals. Thanks, Jodie!
