When you think of autumn, gold and red leaves probably come to mind… But it is also a great season to wear green!

Green featured prominently on Pantone’s autumn-winter trend predictions, with five different greens between their London and New York colour palettes. Two of these are more neutral, leaning towards khaki green, one is a frosty green, and two of them are bold leafy greens, in line with the dopamine dressing trend. All these greens echo the 2020s desire to return to nature and natural themes in turbulent times.

I’ve sorted this year’s trending greens from neutral to bold and incorporated them into five autumnal outfits. Scroll down or click through for how to wear green in autumn:

Neutrals and a flash of green

Even though Martini Olive is technically a green, I would say it pretty much qualifies as a neutral. You can find lots of outerwear in this colour, but I wanted to do something a bit more original than the typical military-inspired jackets with this outfit. So I went a different direction and added a touch of luxury with a faux fur coat instead. I’m actually quite tempted to buy it myself!

Faux fur coat – Lightning jumper – Faux leather leggings – Chelsea boots – Messenger bag – Black and gold necklace

Subtle green monochrome

Now I’ll be honest, Cardamom Seed is probably my least favourite of these five colours… But the outfit inspired by it is probably my favourite! I love how the clothes are a deeper shade of the colour, while the accessories bring out the warmth of it while adding a touch of autumn-ness to it all.

Beaded earrings – Cotton jumper – Wide leg trousers – Chelsea boots – Leopard belt – Tote bag

All the greens

I had to look up what “loden” meant: apparently it’s a wool from mountain sheep that was made into capes by Austrian peasants, in this earthy green colour… Not very vegan-friendly, but hey that was your random fact of the day!

This colour is a cooler take on the traditional loden colour.

Beaded earrings – Magic toadstool tee – Corduroy A-Line Skirt – Teal cardigan – Messenger bag – Tan ankle boots

Outdoorsy green

Who doesn’t want to feel more abundant? I put together this outfit, inspired by how refreshed being out in nature can make us feel. But I wanted to still look chic, hence the gold and (faux) pearl necklace.

Pullover hoodie – Mountains T-shirt – Wellington boots – Recycled rain coat – Slim fit jeans – Backpack – Faux pearl necklace

Painting the town green

These last two colours are quite similar, but I see Amazon as being a slightly bolder and more saturated green than Abundant Green.

Beaded fringe earrings – Animal print midi dress – Snake jumper – Croc effect pouch – Over-the-knee boots
