Be green and wear green in the autumn: 5 vegan-friendly outfits

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:

  1. Neutrals and a flash of green
  2. Subtle green monochrome
  3. All the greens
  4. Outdoorsy green
  5. Painting the town green

Neutrals and a flash of green

Martini Olive, a fruit inspired green tone with a touch of brine.

Pantone

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!

Subtle green monochrome

Cardamom Seed, a citrusy herbal pod green.

Pantone

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.

All the greens

Loden Frost, an earth infused green tone that calms and restores.

Pantone

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.

Outdoorsy green

Abundant Green, a verdant green emblematic of flourishing foliage.

pantone

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.

Wear green in autumn - Abundant green outfit

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

Dinosaur Button Cardigan, in Green

Short Sleeve Boilersuit, in Forest Green

Painting the town green

Amazon is a lush and fertile broadleaf green.

Pantone

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

In a rush, but don't want to be hungry by 10:30? H In a rush, but don't want to be hungry by 10:30? Here's the solution! ✨

🔗 Follow the link in my bio for 3 more breakfast ideas (including easy-to-follow videos) and some cute containers to take them on the go! 😊

I've been experimenting with smoothies for a while I've been experimenting with smoothies for a while and I've finally found the magic formula... 👇

So here it is:
🫘 Half a can of butter beans, drained and rinsed (trust me you can't taste them, but they're oh so good for you)
🫐 Half a cup of frozen berries (doesn't matter what type, but choose organic if you can)
🍌 A ripe banana
🥬 A good handful of leafy greens (spinach, etc.)
🥄 A tablespoon of ground flaxseed
(🥜 Optional: a tablespoon of peanut butter - if you want it creamier or are trying to get more calories in)
🫗 A cup of water (about 250 mL) - feel free to experiment with this last one until you get the consistency you like

I came up with this because I couldn't find a protein powder that I liked and that didn't make the texture go all wrong... 🤢

Also because I believe whole foods are the way to go! 🌱 ... Well about 80% of the time. 😉

I make mine two at a time in my @nutribullet as it comes with two cups - that way tomorrow's breakfast is covered! 💡

If you've read this far, make sure you follow me for more quick plant-based breakfast ideas (coming tomorrow)! And have a lovely day. 😘

How's beating yourself up been working for you? 🤔 Here's an alternative. 👇

Focus on what you already have and who you already are. Because:
1️⃣ It simply feels better than focusing on our shortcomings or how "we're not there yet".
2️⃣ It will help you attract more good things. Just like people who complain all the time keep attracting "bad luck", people who focus on gratitude find more opportunities.
3️⃣ Your glowing gratitude will attract people to you that will help you move towards your best life.

I know I have a tendency to always focus on the next goal and the next and the next... But sometimes you need to slow down (and smell the roses 🌹) to speed up. ✨
