Green Dresses for Women
One thing to check before you buy sage. Sage green has become the most-used bridesmaid colour in the US, which means a guest in sage can end up looking like part of the wedding party in every photograph. If you're dressing for a wedding, ask what the bridesmaids are wearing — and if it's sage, emerald, forest or teal carry none of that risk and photograph better anyway.
Green is otherwise among the strongest wedding guest colours available: rich, unmistakably not bridal, and flattering under both daylight and evening light. Every piece here is designed by Sandhya Garg, Project Runway Season 13, in exclusive prints drawn in-house, sizes XS through 3XL.
The shades, and where they sit here. The Elsa Green Maxi is a true emerald, reduced to $228 from $378 and the most-reviewed green piece. The Bloom Green Maxi at $258 has sleeves — useful for a cooler ceremony or a church. The Gardenia Kaftan is deep emerald at $228, and the Retro Kaftan sits warmer. For sage, the Mughal Wrap Dress at $198 is the softest option. The Mor Kaftan Kimono and Miniature Top round out the range.
Which green suits you. Cool undertones — where silver jewellery flatters and veins look blue — are lifted by emerald, forest and jade, the blue-based greens. Warm undertones suit olive, moss and sage, which carry more yellow. Emerald is the most universally flattering because its depth creates contrast against almost any complexion. If a green makes you look tired, the undertone is usually the issue rather than the colour.
Styling. Gold warms olive, moss and sage. Silver and white gold sit better with emerald and jade. Nude or metallic shoes keep the leg line unbroken; black works for evening but can weigh down a lighter sage. Green pairs unexpectedly well with burgundy and rust for autumn accessories, and with blush for spring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you wear green to a wedding?
Yes — green is one of the best wedding guest colours, since it's rich, photographs well and could never be mistaken for bridal white. The one caution is sage specifically, which is currently the most common bridesmaid colour in the US. Check the wedding party's palette first; if it's sage, choose emerald, forest or teal instead.
What is the difference between sage, emerald, olive and forest green?
Sage is pale, muted and grey-toned — soft and spring-weight. Emerald is deep, saturated and blue-based, the most formal of the four. Forest is darker and slightly warmer than emerald. Olive carries brown and yellow, reading earthy and autumnal. When matching a wedding or event palette, use the specific shade name, as these look markedly different in photographs.
What shade of green suits my skin tone?
Cool undertones — where silver jewellery flatters and veins appear blue — suit emerald, forest and jade. Warm undertones suit olive, moss and sage. Emerald is the most universally flattering because its depth creates strong contrast against most complexions. If a green washes you out, it's usually the undertone rather than the colour itself.
What colour shoes and jewellery go with a green dress?
Gold warms olive, moss and sage. Silver and white gold complement emerald and jade. Nude or metallic shoes keep the leg line unbroken and work across every shade; black suits evening but can weigh down a pale sage. For accessories, burgundy and rust pair well with green in autumn, blush in spring.
Is green good for autumn and winter?
Yes — emerald, forest and olive are among the strongest cold-weather colours, particularly in velvet and heavier fabrics. Sage and lighter greens read spring and summer. A long-sleeved emerald midi is a reliable choice for autumn weddings and winter parties alike.
