Going Green: How to Wear the Season's Most Charged Colour, From Studio to Sunset

Green is having a moment — and not a quiet one. From the electric jolt of a neon green workout set to the grounded calm of a forest green workout set, the colour has migrated far beyond the gym floor and into the full arc of a woman's day. It's on the rooftop. It's at dinner. It's at the beach. And it looks, without exception, extraordinary.

The appeal is simple: green is simultaneously powerful and natural. It reads as confident without trying. Whether you lean toward the high-voltage charge of lime, the jewel-box richness of emerald, or the earthy ease of sage and army, there is a shade of green that was designed for your wardrobe right now.

At Lola Dré, green runs through the season in every possible form. Here, we break down how to wear it — and what to reach for at each moment of the day.

Start With the Silhouette: The Green Knit

The green workout top aesthetic — form-fitting, ribbed, second-skin — translates directly into the luxury wardrobe through knit construction. SIMKHAI has mastered this language. The brand's signature eyelet knit technique delivers that same body-conscious confidence you'd want from activewear, but with the elevated finish that takes you from reformer class to rosé without a second thought.

Think of the Azulu Veronika pant in Sacramento green as the elevated answer to the lime green workout set: the wide-leg knit silhouette carries that same stretch-and-move ease, but lands squarely in the territory of dressed. Pair it with a fitted crop or a simple halter and the effect is effortlessly put-together.

The Mini Moment: Green That Turns Heads

If the emerald green workout set is about feeling powerful in motion, the green mini dress is about commanding a room at standstill. Cara Cara's Henry dress — a drawstring cotton mini in a botanical toile print — captures the colour's freshness in a silhouette that's equally at home at a beach lunch or an evening out. Meanwhile, Johanna Ortiz proves that green can carry serious drama: the Green Empowerment Movement ankle skirt dress in a strapless structure is a masterclass in colour confidence.

The Long Game: Maxi Dresses in Every Shade of Green

Where the forest green workout set speaks to nature and groundedness, the green maxi dress is its most romantic translation. BAOBAB's Chianti in Eden green is a halter silhouette that moves like water — the kind of dress that photographs beautifully against both sand and stone. Andres Otalora's Ron Coco linen maxi in Green Paradiso takes the tropical print tradition and filters it through a Colombian-Colombian lens: lush, vivid, and unapologetically sensory.

Waterside Green: The Bikini Edit

No exploration of green dressing is complete without the swimwear chapter. Think of a green bikini as the purest distillation of the colour — uninterrupted by hem or sleeve. Johanna Ortiz's Sea Sprite bandeau top in shimmering green has the iridescent quality of sunlight hitting shallow water. For something more structured, Melissa Odabash's Bari ribbed bikini top pairs with the Hamburg bottom for a green workout set-inspired match that feels polished at any pool or shore.

The Styling Principle: Green Works in Monochrome

The single most powerful way to wear any shade of green — whether that's neon, emerald, forest, or sage — is to commit to it fully. Head-to-toe green, the way an emerald green workout set or a lime green workout set naturally achieves, carries an authority that mixing and matching simply cannot replicate. Let the colour do the work. Keep accessories minimal — gold jewellery, a raffia bag, a barely-there sandal — and resist the urge to break the look with a contrasting colour.

Green is a commitment. And like all the best commitments, it rewards you handsomely for making it.
