And that’s a wrap on another season of New York Fashion Week. But as the glitterati touches down in London town, it’s about that time that we analyze the best street style ensembles for wardrobe inspiration. One thing for certain? This season, we’re seeing green.

Colors come in and out of style, but shades of green gained traction on spring 2023 runways. Designers like Fendi, Michael Kors, Givenchy, and Bottega Veneta included various shades of the color in their collections. Green in all of its forms — like lime, jade, chartreuse, mint, and moss — colored the designers’ cargo pants, mini dresses, silk slip skirts, and tote bags on last fall’s catwalks.

One of the most exciting things about street style is seeing how influential names in fashion translate the current season’s runway trends into wearable looks on the streets of New York City. This past week as editors and influencers headed to NYFW fall 2023 shows, we saw the style set embrace all things green, ranging from head-to-toe green ensembles to robust pops of green accessories. PopSugar’s Fashion Director Jessica Andrews went all in, wearing a belted Kelly green trench with a coordinating Bottega Veneta bag. Digital creator Emili Sindlev kept it athleisure-chic with a shamrock-toned hoodie. Plus, style stars like actress Tina Leung and model Devon Windsor married the color with other trends, wearing dresses that feature feathers, fringe, and pleated silhouettes.

As with all colors, green comes with a set of metaphorical connections. In ancient Egypt, green was a color of great importance. Goddesses often donned green jewelry and makeup because of the color’s link to growth and rebirth. So it seems appropriate that trendsetters are going green with a sense of optimism — especially as we emerge from pandemic living.
