GAGA FOR GREEN ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Irish or not, St. Patrick's Day is a holiday inspiring green clothing looks.  Emerald Green is Pantone's Color of the Year, so you should get lots of versatility in any green clothing or accessories you wear.  While St. Patrick's Day might be a day wear you wear just green, Emerald pairs well with yellows and blues-ocean blue, turquoise, navy, sapphire.  Mixing together colors freshens the look.


Men's Looks:

A collarless shirt is a trendy, casual way to wear green.  Unbotton the collar and add a graphic t-shirt or striped shirt in contrasting colors underneath.  Layer a vest overtop (puffer, down) to add some flare.

Prints, stripes, and plaid are on trend.  Go from subtle to bold depending on your personality and style.  This Shipley & Halmos shirt is very versatile.  Wear it alone or layer it with a colored t-shirt underneath (sapphire blue if you dare or navy).
