Colour Expert Anna Curtis, who has spent 20 years working with actors, presenters and models on camera, revealed why she believes everyone should have green in their wardrobe.
Speaking to Fabulous, the expert from The Colour Code, shared: “There is a shade of green that suits everyone.
"It is a cheerful colour that has the power to lift an outfit and make you look refreshed and effortlessly stylish."
Fountain of youth
The first benefit is, it helps you look younger and more rested.

She says: “The secret is to wear your green.
“There are more variants of green than any other colour and each one of us has a palette of greens that makes us look our best, brightening our skin tone, helping us to look younger and more rested and lifting and sharpening our bone structure (whether you have a tan or not).”
Be balanced
It turns out there is a scientific reason why green can be beneficial.
Anna adds: “Green is the colour of nature and has a profoundly calming and reassuring effect.

“It sits in the middle of the rainbow and as a shorter wavelength, requires no adjustment to look at and process, therefore having a very restful and healing impact on us emotionally.
“It is the colour of balance and harmony and therefore one that I would highly encourage people to own and wear.
“Particularly during periods of stress or anxiety, or simply to maintain a feeling of calm and equilibrium.”
Green has been worn to perfection on royalty, with the Princess of Wales turning heads in a stylish dress at Trooping the Colour in 2023.

Bridgerton fans also watched as Penelope Featherington - star of the recent third series of the hit Netflix period series - had a “glow-up” wearing new shades of green.
Anna adds: “By swapping the acidic lime frocks for softer and cooler greens, she has transformed her complexion, enhanced her beautiful features and elevated her entire look.”
No stone unturned
Clients walk out of the changing room declaring they look 10 years younger and a stone lighter - she adds.
The colour expert concludes: “Understanding the specifics of your core colouring (hair, eyes, lips) and the undertones and overtones of your skin colour is game-changing when it comes to choosing your best greens.
“I’ve had clients walk out of the changing room declaring they look ten years younger and a stone lighter.
“It’s the ultimate style hack that lights you up inside and out.”
