When we say that mixed greens are going to be all the rage this fall, we’re not talking about your favorite leafy vegetables. Ever since Pantone declared two shades of green to be this season’s colors, we’ve been noticing a palette of green shades in stores and on the streets.


To be specific, Ultramarine Green (Pantone 18-5338) and Bright Chartreuse (Pantone 14-0445) are Pantone’s chosen green hues. Variations are being seen together everywhere; it’s usually a hunter green dress or top paired with a chartreuse or mint accessory.


Even if you’re not a matchy-matchy person, this trend is particularly chic and easy to wear. In fact, cool hues of greens are the perfect way to transition into fall. We can’t help but give this trend two green thumbs up. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself!)
