What goes with emerald green?

[MrsKitty]

Bought an emerald green coloured dress - what colours will go with it? (for a cardi/tights) Charcoal? Another shade of green? Or shall I just take it back as it seems impossible to accessorise?

purple.

Can you post a pic of the dress, love green dresses

flesh coloured tights wd be best I think, silver or grey cardi wd look good too. x

depends on the dress... other jewel colours?

You could do tonal and go for blue?

Purple - really? Actually, I can see how that might work, just not sure I could carry it off

pic here - first ever Boden purchase - got it cheap cheap at a clothes swap thingy, and whilst I recognise it's technically a summer dress, I love the colour, and I'm wondering if I could get away with it during winter with cardi...Or not?

• obviously can't take it back, if I decide it's not working for me, but Ebay is my friend .

It's really lovely but linen is best for summer only.

Turquoise would work really well with that dress. It depends what time of year you were going to wear it and what accessories you were looking for. If it was a summer dress (ie no coat etc required) then I'd say nude coloured shoes would look good with a turquoise cardy. No need to eb too matchy matchy.

One of those muted dusky rose pinks might look nice with emerald.

driving hmmm, I had a feeling that might be the case. Kind of know that but have been trying to pretend otherwise . Sigh... I shall keep it in my wardrobe in case my diet goes wrong and I'm still this size come April .

I've seen dark green and purple together - really nice!

Most shades of pink look fantastic with emerald green, especially bright shades.

Emerald Green? It has to be silver for shrug and shoes.

A pale grey might be nice perhaps with these.
TBH much as I love some of the Boden colours I do find them quite hard to wear with other brands.
The colour of that dress is lovely but might be better suited to the summer months.

Navy blue

Agree - I usually use navy; it's so easy

Thanks everyone - filing these suggestions away for the spring - you're right, it's just not a winter dress, and can't really be turned into one .

Really like the idea of green/purple the more I think about it. Keen to introduce more colour into my wardrobe (rather than all the blacks & browns in there currently).

Lime green believe it or not
