moss green





Fall's color is moss green. Not to be confused with the flirty pop greens of springs past from playful DVF and Louis Vuitton, we are instead maturely embraced with deep greens from Andrea Dixon and Isaac Mizrahi above, and even a subtler, tongue-in-cheek watered moss from MARC by Marc Jacobs below.

Whereas green once denoted a playful trend in 'green technology,' as seen in previous collections showcasing lime and fresh turf, we are now welcomed with an umbrageous, adult green that still holds onto a bit of its playfulness. The natural feel is more leafy New England than fresh Silicone Valley this time around.

To enhance its earthy essence, preferable textures I run to are wool, tweed, or heavy knits. If I'm in a playful mood, stale and flat yellows (as opposed to bright yellows from previous spring), pair wonderfully with the moss aesthetic. Gotta love fall.
