GREEN- why is it so popular?

[EggyBreadBrekkie]

This isn't a criticism, just curious.

I do a lot of clothes shopping online - all of it in fact.

Anything in green is always sold out faster than any other colour.
Yet I rarely see anyone wearing green!

I've been looking online at a couple of jumpers/ tops online and in every case the green is sold out in every size even though the clothes were only on sale a week ago! (And I don't think it's a case of waiting for the stock to arrive as I've seen the jumpers in store.)

Sorry for the confusion.

PP suggested that green was a popular colour because, unlike blue or red, it had no "sporting or political allegiance" so anyone could wear it.

I just remarked in passing, that I don't think a Scottish woman would ever say that, because clearly green does have sporting and political connotations in Scotland and indeed Ireland.

(I don't actually think that there are loads of London women saying "ooh I'd better not get that red jumper in case someone thinks I'm an Arsenal fan/socialist. Unless they're actual Conservative MPs.)

I'm a "Scottish woman" as far as I'm concerned green is a colour. End of. It has no sporting or political connotations for me.

So far as your suggestion about Tories not wearing red, the only time I've heard this sort of nonsense was actually from a couple of hard lefties who avoided blue.

I think MPs avoid the colour of the opposite party when they're going on TV - not in their private life.

Clearly if you are a Scottish woman and you would say that green is a politically/sporting neutral colour unlike red and blue then I was wrong - it was just a passing remark on what I thought was a slightly foolish post.

I think green is really flattering! I'm quite neutral in colouring - probably between "seasons" - and I think green is the one colour where I can wear pretty much any shade. It's not actually my favourite colour but people probably assume it is.

Like a pp, I'm loving this while it lasts.

I’ve got bright red hair and skin paler than a4 printing paper so green is my default colour. Everything else needs serious consideration in case it clashes with the hair!
I think it’s a broad colour with different tones suiting all seasons so very versatile. Very happy that it seems to be the popular colour right now!

Maybe because it is associated positivity?

It’s a popular high street colour at the moment, a coupe of years ago there was a lot of wine/burgundy around in the winter.

Because it is a brilliant colour of course!

I love anything green it's my favourite colour. I wish there was more clothes in green.

Another green lover here. I buy lots of green.

I love green too. I think it's the colour that suits me best. It's great having plenty choice just now.

I think green is about the only colour I'd give any credence to for the idea of wearing "your colours". Green looks great against red hair and blonde hair.

I think green flatters typical UK / Irish complexions (ie pale and/or ruddy)

I like green, but not the sort of green that is everywhere at the moment.

I love green clothes, my sitting room and kitchen are both sage green, we even have a green gate.

Personally i prefer high vis orange gear, not sure why i just prefer orange, and also the colour purple,

I’m a red person myself (we even have a reds wash in our house) and have never found a shade of red that doesn’t suit me. I did however get a dress for Christmas that was a fetching shade of pine, and I do like mint, teal and emerald. I tend to steer clear of olive, khaki and fluorescent lime which either wash me out or make me look drab.
