What do I mean when I say Green?
Most men have a tendency to overgeneralize colors and just say red, blue, gray or green. Green is such a versatile color and I think that one term isn’t even enough to describe the full range of colors.

How do You Wear Green so it Flatters You?
I think it’s really helpful to have a green suit or at least a green jacket. It can be part of the suit and it can be worn separately with other kind of corduroys or chinos or even seersuckers.

In terms of fabrics, you can wear green with a worsted, with a flannel, with frescos or even seersucker. And it’s a broad color range and you don’t have to shy away from anything.

The other wardrobe element that looks really good in green is pants, particularly corduroy pants or moleskin pants. They are different and I can combine them in an interesting way.

The other element you can invest in is vests. I have a green vest that matches the suit which I can wear individually or in accordance with the suit.

Another area where green is hardly ever seen is dress shirts. A light green shirt could be worn with a blue suit or even a gray suit, especially during the summer. If you get something darker like olive green maybe with a pail white and ivory stripe, it is much better for winter.

You can also wear green shoes. Sometimes people go with a darker kind of green or an olive green.

If you wear belts make sure you get a matching belt, that way you get a harmonious look and it’s overall well rounded.

One of my favorite elements to wear green is socks because you can use it as a contrasting color.

Last but not the least think about a pinky ring in green maybe malachite or cufflinks or even a tie bar. They all really work together and it’s a wonderful color that creates contrast.

When you live in a warmer climate you can go with a bright shantung green or with a bourette houndstooth silk either bow tie or tie. If you are more in a colder climate maybe a darker olive green or something in a wool grenadine will be better for you.

Another perfect place to start is a pocket square because it is rather affordable and it has a number of different colors especially when it’s printed so you can pick out different colors such as red, yellow or purple or green and just create a really interesting unusual look with out having to invest too much upfront.

What Colors Work Well with Green?
The easiest color to combine is blue. Whether it’s navy blue, mid blue or even light blue, green really goes well together with it because green is a little more warmer.

The second color you can combine with green is brown. I particularly like dark chocolate brown but also lighter browns work really well with it.

Third color which is gray and another traditional business color that work really well with green.

My favorite color to combine with green is orange because it’s likewise warm. Whether it’s an orange pocket square or orange knit tie or orange grenadine no matter what color green and orange will always work.

Another color that I’m really fond of is purple. Its not a very popular color in countries like Italy whereas in Britain it is quite popular with office workers and bankers.

Last but not least is green with red. You may think it can look like a Christmas combination but the key is to go with very dark shades.

As a (woman) college student 30 years ago, I found an emerald and white, wool plaid sportcoat from perhaps 1972 in a thrift store, and removed it from the pool of garments available to well-dressed men. I wore it with black jeans and a black turtleneck (and sometimes black and white spectator oxfords), called it my used car salesman jacket, and got lots of sincere compliments. I wish you all equal (well, for societal reasons, greater) courage and versatility in exploring green.

I can't help but admire all of the shoes in your collection. Would you consider doing a video showing your full collection (or at least part of it) and tell us where you acquired them? Keep up the great work!

[stylishoversixty]

Normally I shy away from green basically because of it's military heritage however I can see where I can incorporate the various shades of green into my existing attire thanks for the insightful video I give it two "green" thumbs up!

[timnagel]

I love how enthusiastic you are, I can tell it's one of your favourite colours. Great vibe, please show that more often ;)

I just got a double breasted pine needle green suit coat. I am going to wear it to church tomorrow with a french cuff shirt in a pale yellow with silver cuff links with bright green stones. My tie is going to be grey squares with white and sunflower gold yellow stripes. My pocket square will be kitchen stove from the 1970's sungold stripes with black back ground and hints of brown. My pants are a deeper green then the suit jacket but it works. I'll be wearing brown shoes with olive green socks and blue strips.All in all I think it works and looks good. Thank you for this channel even the older videos you show smart fashion doesn't go out of style and always stays relevant.

Watching this again 4 years later I realize now how much this one specific video has changed my entire wardrobe. I love green 🤷🏻‍♂️

[MultiMrMiles]

imo olive green and green socks can really rock so hard

[williamwimbourne]

Always good advice. I have been following you for a few months. As an English lawyer I usually wear black to work...even in summer. I have restyled myself using your tips and I look and feel much better for it. Green is a great colour. Many thanks to you.

You know what I love about GG? The encouragement...and you get that in the last few minutes of this video...& that’s inspiring...Also there’s forgiveness: try it, make a few little mistakes..it’s OK... you’ll get the hang of it...That is what we need to hear.

And yes, I’m into green. Not a lot... But I do have a mint summer weight sport jacket...and some green accented pocket squares...and now I’ve got the motivation to try to pair some green & some blue...thanks GG.

Green is just perfect for many men. A lot of people wear Beiges/Browns and Blue which Green fits perfect in.

I think Teal/Petrol is an amazing color aswell.

[philippkoch]

Could you please also make a video of this kind on purple? Furthermore, some advice on how to match different patterns would be great.
Thank you for your interesting, tasteful and educational videos, I always learn a lot!

I’m a female viewer. I have tons of separate pieces of clothing, with a case of I don’t know what to wear. I wanna buy suits so I can wear them as separates, yet, be able to wear as a suit as well, so I can work things out easier. I’m so tired of the gazillion things in my closet/overstuffed suitcase.

[lynnglidewell]

Green is a good color for me. I notice increased compliments when I'm in Green.

[Oki.J]

green and orange! yes it’s my fav combo too the carrot combo!

[dylanlundgren]

Incredibly informative video! That malachite pinky ring is fantastic. Do you have any recommendations on where to pick one up like it, or rings in general?

[icecol]

You are always classic and very dapper.I love the green wool blazer that you're wearing in this video. That's sharp.I love how wide the lapel is. I love your videos. These color videos are very informative.

[markmaiello]

You know what I like about GG? The encouragement...and the willingness to try...to make a few imperfect attempts...that’s very inspiring. Thanks GG. And yes..I do like green...mint green...I’ve a summer weight sport jacket in that color that mixes well with a cream colored shirt...

[wheelzwheela]

Green is my favourite color. It can be done wrong very easily but when done right it is probably the classiest.

[rockindrop]

i'm throwing my hat in the ring for green + purple for those more adventurous!

[TheTorchOfGreatness]

This really helps. I got a vintage lapel waistcoat from goodwill and struggled a bit to find pants to match it
