Wearing brown and green together = tree?

[ladeedad]

I love the 'warm' version of these colours. Bright, bottle greens, mints and tans.

Only problem is I keep thinking I look like a tree e.g. when I pair a bright green dress with my tan heels or boots.

It's a shame because I hate accessorising green with black, and don't have many neutrals.

What do I need to avoid/watch out for to avoid looking like shrubbery?

I think you will not look like a tree!!!!
Unless of course you have bushy leaf like hair!!!
Tbh i think your oufit will look fine. What about Navy and green..thats what i would go with personally because i am not fussed for brown.

That would never occur to me, but it might now if I spot you

Mmm. Am wearing that combination now. Never occurred to me I might look like a tree! Would have said it's a good combination.

I think it's a good combination. Nature tends to do her colour-coordinating thing well.

I think bloody Trinny and Susannah's books have put the fear of God in me and now I feel bad wearing anything. Navy and green would be very pretty - but sadly I've invested 100s in brown stuff and now I don't know how to wear it!

Avoid flashing earrings as the festive season approaches ?

This made me laugh. Are you very tall OP?

Today I am wearing a brown cardigan and a green dress and brown boots. Perhaps I am an upside down tree!! Had never crossed my mind!

I'm actually quite petite. I just didn't want to look like a little fir!

I once wore brown cords with a green jumper and thought exactly that! I did change the jumper.

I used to have a lovely green dress that I wore with brown boots. I really liked the combination but I must confess that I stopped wearing it when I heard that my daughter had identified me to someone else as "the one in the tree outfit".

Trees are nice, but I didn't want to look like one...

I like the colours together but can't do brown on the bottom and green on top for the same reason.

Didn't Trinny and Susanna say never wear black with colour? They talk out of their backsides.

Which is probably why they're now on qvc flogging kaftans and sequinned t shirts rather than prime time tv.

Wear your green and brown with pride. It looks fine.

I always think it looks tree-like too, but I like trees so it's ok

Add a warm cream colour to the outfit, even if it's just a scarf.
