Where seasonal shades come and go, the best part about emerald is that you can wear it all year long– and not just because Pantone says so. Green works for autumn and winter holidays, and for spring and summer just as well. Emerald isn’t just some shade of the season, it’s truly a shade for every season. Few colours carry the same sense of clarity and rejuvenation, so you can count on adding in a few pops to old looks to breathe new life and style into your wardrobe.
