STYLE GURU STYLE: The Grass is Always Greener

June 9th, 2015 at 2:00am

Army green has been seen all over the runways this summer and spring. You can see it on anything from clothing to accessories. Something about this look has been catching the eyes of many designers lately. Whether it be the sign that summer is here with the crisp reminder of green grass and sunny days, green is in.

Ralph Lauren’s 2015 summer and spring collection showed a lot of this color throughout. The style and the way the color followed made all the looks have a classic simple vibe to it. This is what I try to achieve with my style. I want to look classic and put together but also make it simple and not to over the top.

To style a look with this color my outfit includes an army green cardigan that I purchased from American Eagle Outfitters along with this heather grey tank from J.Crew. I like how the pattern adds something to the outfit but does not put it over the edge.

I paired it with a pair of black leggings and some brown sandals from Target. This helped to keep my look classic yet simple. My jewelry includes my favorite Alex and Ani bracelets. I have an obsession with them to say the least. I love that fact that you can mix the metals and wear gold and silver together, another trend I have been loving lately, as well as a half-up fishtail braided ‘do.

Get My Look: 1. An army green cardigan or jacket. 2. A patterned top. 3. Simple and classic accessories.
