Now that it’s chillier, a bright kelly or a bold emerald green is emerging as an unlikely suspect for color of the season, working as a counterpoint for winter’s darker wardrobes. Try wearing J.Crew’s crystal-encrusted necklace over a simple black tee or Modcloth’s emerald drop earrings with a navy sweater dress. For making impressions at evening events, turn to these shades for a full look; go for Lanvin’s lace-appliquéd satin dress, or try channeling Bacall or Hepburn in Issa’s column gown at the next cocktail party. Or even play Don Draper’s latest fix in Pink Tartan’s bouffant silk dress at your holiday party. We’ve rounded up accents, tops, bottoms, and dresses at every price, all guaranteed to brighten up your wardrobe, in our slideshow.
