Dress to go with green accsessories

What colour dress would I put with green accsesories? Long and boring story as to why I got the accsessories first.

Red is the complementary colour. Artists use red and green together to make them "zing" as they are on the opposite sides of the colour wheel. However, you may not wish to zing. In which case a blue of some shade might harmonise nicely! Then again you might find a pattern with hints of the green to be picked out and coordinate. I would, personally, avoid yellow. Depends what you want the dress for. Love to know what you decide on. Good luck. It's sure to be fantastic!

Any shade of purple from lilac to aubergine depending on the colour of the accessories.

Could you post a photo? What'll work depends massively on the style(s), shade(s) and materials of the stuff oyu've got.

Can't post a photo. Computer's a dinosaur but the accsessories are dark green, sorry I should have said that before. x

For what occasion op?

Like the idea of lilac or aubergine. It depends if you can find what you have in mind. I find that the solution comes when looking around and is usually something I hadn't thought of.

No occasion. Thecow. Just everyday wear. How do I say this without coming over as a real poser but I always dress as though I'm going out for the evening. x

Silver or pewter could work really well, as could the contrasting colours.

Dontgotosleep · 14/08/2014 20:29

Oooh Silver. Never even though of that. Thanks everyone for the advice.
Off to google silver dresses. x

Every day's an occasion! I like your thinking. Sorry have no advice though!

I'd go with pinks. Something like this would work well.

Otherwise, depending on your skin tone, tan can look great with dark green.

White or cream would be lovely...

MrsLettuce · 14/08/2014 23:54

Well, yeah, pretty much all colours go with green - never seen a plant clashing with flowers.

Dontgotosleep · 15/08/2014 01:24

Ha ha. Lettuce. Never thought of that. x
