3 Tips on How To Wear the Color Basil Green

3 Tips on How To Wear the Color Basil Green

Basil is a grayed-green that is calming and soothing, a borrowed color from nature yet has its own uniqueness.

Pantone’s sweet and savory basil green emanates health and wellness.

I've worked with hundreds of women to determine what are their most flattering colors. And I have found personally, that many women are in the two camps when it comes to the color green.

They love green or they don’t. Very black and white. Or they tend to pass over the color and have never experimented with the color green.

But did you know that people who like green people are usually stable, balanced types? You are a good citizen, a concerned parent, and a loyal friend, according to Leatrice Eiseman, author of More Alive With Color.

You are intelligent and understand new concepts. 

Let's chat about the 3 ways you can incorporate basil green (or your favorite green) into your existing wardrobe and personal style. 

1. ”Try On” Your Eye Color 

  • The first thing I want you to do is to look at your eye color. 

  • Do you have a speckle of green in your eye color? If you do, I really encourage you to try on a shade of green. 

  • Did you know that when your ‘eyes pop’ you are perceived as a trustworthy person? I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “Your eyes are the window to your soul.”

  • If you prefer brighter tones vs. grayed or muted tones, consider emerald-green. 

2. Add Green in a Small Simple Way 

  • Think about adding the color basil or emerald in a beautiful scarf with your classic white blouse.

  • Combine a beautiful silk shell in basil green with your navy or camel neutrals.

  • How about a fun floral green cotton top for spring and summer?

3. Become Aware of How Green Makes You Feel 

  • Basil is a very soothing shade of green – it’s calming and inviting.  

  • Green is considered balanced and stable. Don’t forget, green has a personality. 

  • It doesn’t cost you a thing to try on a beautiful basil green shell, just for fun.

  • If I’m not mistaken, I believe green is Oprah’s favorite color.
