It\u2019s not just the halls you\u2019re going to be decking in emerald green \u2014 fashion has found its favourite colour for the festive season.<\/p>\n
Voluptuous viridescence steals the spotlight this December. The stage was set when the Princess of Wales sported the hue, stepping out in a sequinned gown from Needle & Thread for King Charles\u2019 75th birthday celebration. From that moment we knew we\u2019d be matching the mistletoe at our Christmas\u00a0parties.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kate went for their Alicia design, a floor-length, sequin-embellished gown with a high neckline and elegant long sleeves.<\/p>\n
It would set you back \u00a3780, but you don\u2019t need to be that extravagant to get on trend.<\/p>\n
Here are six gorgeous ways to go green this party season…<\/p>\n
ACCESSORISE IN STYLE\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dress, \u00a3119, albaray.co.uk; headband, \u00a379, and earrings, \u00a369, lkbennett.com<\/p>\n Green is reigning supreme in the jewellery world, too. It\u2019s surprisingly versatile and the perfect vibrant shade for the festive season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Expect to see plenty of emerald adorning rings, earrings, headbands and hair accessories over the festive period.\u00a0<\/p>\n The most important thing when wearing green accessories is to avoid red. You\u2019ll look like an ornament.<\/p>\n FEATHERED FRIENDS<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dress, \u00a3119.99, zara.com; shoes, \u00a349.99, tkmaxx.co.uk; earrings, \u00a369, lkbennett.com<\/p>\n If green is the colour, then feathers are the detail of the season. And you can wear both with this strapless column midi dress from Zara.<\/p>\n Teamed with ludicrously high heels, it will leave you looking ready for even Gatsby\u2019s greatest party.<\/p>\n If dresses aren\u2019t your thing, try your feathers as a trim on tops, trousers or jacket sleeve.<\/p>\n GET SHORTY<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dress, \u00a3475, needleandthread.com; shoes, \u00a359.99, mango.com; earrings, \u00a3150, monicavinader.com<\/p>\n There\u2019s nothing mini about this densely embellished mini dress from Needle & Thread, the brand that started this colour trend.<\/p>\n Having a lot of leg on show is all the rage, though with the rich array of embellishments no one will be looking too closely at your pins.<\/p>\n At \u00a3475 the dress is definitely an investment piece, but it will see you through weddings, christenings and Christmas parties for years to come.<\/p>\n SHINE ON IN WEARABLE SEQUINS\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dress, \u00a399, marksandspencer.com; shoes, \u00a3295, meandem.com; earrings, \u00a395, merola.co.uk<\/p>\n Christmas 2023 is all about bling and there\u2019s no better way to shine than in Marks & Spencer\u2019s round-neck column midi dress.<\/p>\n Sequins can feel a little OTT, but the black jersey trim on neckline and cuffs give this otherwise very glamorous dress a fabulous sport-luxe feel. It\u2019s practical, glamorous, and no one would ever guess it was less than \u00a3100.<\/p>\n VAMP UP IN VELVET<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dress, \u00a3340, cefinn.com; shoes, \u00a3255, camillaelphick.com; earrings, \u00a338, boden.co.uk<\/p>\n Little surprise that stately velvet has become a favourite among designers. But you don\u2019t have to pay couture prices to feel regal.<\/p>\n From structured dresses, like this collar detail midi from Cefinn, to sleek tailored suits, it comes in a variety of guises, each as stylish as the next. When it comes to velvet, green reigns supreme.<\/p>\n GLOW IN A GORGEOUS BOW<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dress, \u00a3198, anthropologie.com; shoes, \u00a3150, guess.eu; earrings, \u00a3135 and ring, \u00a3100, monicavinader.com<\/p>\n The obsession with bows has moved from shoes to bags, to hair accessories and they\u2019re now front and centre on fashion too, wrapping you up like the perfect gift.<\/p>\n This asymmetric dress from Anthropologie, with its voluminous tiers and larger-than-life bow, would not look out of place on a red carpet \u2014 but if you can\u2019t dress up at Christmas, when can you? Wear yours with simple, understated shoes and accessories and let the dress do the talking.<\/p>\n
