Here's how you can celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style: By rocking lime green
Clean and green
image

It’s St Patrick’s Day soon (March 17 to be exact), which means it’s a day of bar-hopping and all-green everything. But instead of the classic emerald green outfit, we say go for the lime shade this year. Why? The hue is so in at the moment, as evidenced by all the bright neon pieces that burst onto the runways for Milan Fashion Week.

That being said, it can be quite a difficult colour to wear. Don’t worry, we’ll give you a hand. From subtle shades in accessories to bold block colours, these 10 lime green pieces will inject a splash of vibrant colour into your ensemble as you party hard.

Made from printed satin, this dress is an easy way to work the neon lime hue into your outfit, minus the bold block colour. With fluted sleeves and a large bow tie up at the upper back, the dress is feminine yet fun. A real show-stopper that is appropriate for both work and play.

Zara hooded jacket, S$59.90

Channel a swanky street vibe with this hooded jacket that features contrast topstitching and a front zipper. It’s bright, sure, but you can always tame it down by layering a black leather jacket over it. Or try teaming this with some dark denim jeans for contrast.

Jaded London lime crinkle bikini top, S$63.90, from Topshop

An easy way to slip lime into your outfit without being too ‘in your face’ is by underlayering. Take this bikini top, for example. Wear it as a bra under a mesh tee or a muscle tank with wide arm holes, so you get to flash slices of bright lime but still keep it slightly on the down-low.

Dorothy Perkins lime ruffle cold shoulder top, S$29.90, from Zalora

This light ruffled top is perfect if you want to inject some colour into your work week, as it can be easily paired with a skirt or a pair of pants. Make sure your bottoms are a darker hue though — such as black, grey or navy — to allow the vivid tinge to stand out. The open cut-out shoulders are a pretty touch too.

If lime in your clothing is just a step too far for you, fear not. These sunglasses from Mykita are just enough to show your love for the trend, without being too loud. Pop these on your head for a quirky touch to your girly midi dress ensemble. Best of all, these carbon fiber shades are unisex, so you and your beau can share the lime love together.

Maria Lucia Hohan Margo gown, S$1,138, from Farfetch

Looking to make a grand entrance to your party? Then go for this stunning floor length lime gown. Sure, it’s not an ‘everyday’ dress, but it’s a fabulous choice for any spring formal events you might have in your diary. Featuring a plunge neckline and an empire line silhouette, the dress is a nod towards the Grecian era of styling, but adds a modern punch with its fiercely vibrant colour.

Zara animal print green heeled sandals, S$69.90
image

Mention animal print and neon lime, and you’d probably recoil a little. Too bold, you think? Actually, it works — when made into something delicate like these strappy sandals. This way, it keeps the bold fabric to a minimum so it’s feisty, but not aggressive. Pair with a black jumpsuit and you’re good to go. Extra points for lime earrings or a lime clutch, to match your shoes. Natch.

Lovisa lime mixed media wood earrings, S$15.99

A cute and subtle way to wear a trend without being too over-the-top is to introduce it via your jewellery choices. Take these lime earrings for example. Featuring a mixture of yellow, lime and wooden beads, they hint towards the strong lime trend without needing to go all out with neon clothing. We also love that it’s super quirky.

Love, Bonito ruffle off-shoulder dress, S$43.90
image

With its loose silhouette, this gorgeous piece is super comfortable and easy to wear, and requires next to none accessories. Simple and fuss-free, all you need to do is to throw it on and head out the door. Try pairing this with some dark flat loafers and an oversized handbag, complete with either silver hoop earrings or small studs. Sorted.
