How to Wear Green in a Modern Way for the Holidays
I’m loving all shades of green this year! Green has so much holiday vibe! It is rich, festive, but also fresh and modern if you style it right. When people ask me how to wear green in a modern way for the holidays, the key is choosing pieces that make you feel confident, comfortable, and just a little bit joyful. These picks are great for lots of holiday events, from fancy parties to cozy gatherings.
Green Outfit Inspirations I’ve Worn Recently
Below are four recent outfits I’ve worn in different shades of green. I love the deep mossy green velvet Maxi Dress, the bright chartreuse green coat, and the olive green High Waisted Jeans and handbag. I recently got this Down Puffer Vest and Midweight Puffer Jacket in Evening Forest.
So I think it is safe to say, if it’s green, I’m going to wear it…do you think I’m part leprechaun?
Sequin Pencil Skirt – Green Multi
This green-toned Sequin Pencil Skirt is holiday-ready. The sequins catch the light so beautifully, (just look at that shine!) giving you sparkle without going full disco. The pencil silhouette elongates and refines, making it a great choice for parties or special dinners. I love pairing green with navy for a rich, classic look.
- Elegant shimmering fabric elevates a holiday look
- Pencil shape flatters without being tight
- Green tone brings festivity with sophistication
- Goes easily with simple tops and neutral outer layers
Velveteen Jacket – Pine Grove Green
Velvet and Christmas go together like eggnog and rum, lol. For a modern twist, a Velveteen Jacket in rich green is just the ticket. It brings texture, structure, and a touch of luxury without feeling overdone. This works beautifully over a blouse or simple tee, giving you a stylish “out the door” outfit in seconds. The jacket is also available in navy, which you’ll be seeing on the blog soon.
- Soft velveteen fabric adds dimension and warmth
- Rich green creates a chic statement without being loud
- Structured jacket shape gives polish
- Easily pairs with denim or dress pants
Washable Silk Maxi Skirt – Forest Green
Quince is great about giving affordable options that look more expensive. A Washable Silk Maxi Skirt in forest green gives you the luxe feel without the high-maintenance. The maxi length adds elegance and movement, and the green tone is deep and beautiful for the holidays.
- Silk fabric that’s machine-washable (bonus!)
- Maxi length adds flow and sophistication
- Forest green is flattering and seasonal
- Can be dressed down or up, depending on the top and accessories
Stretch Silk Tie-Neck Blouse – Forest Green
Pair the silk skirt above with this Tie-Neck Blouse and you’ve got a complete ensemble that’s modern, comfortable, and polished. The tie-neck detail adds a feminine touch, and the green keeps things festive yet refined. For women over 50, this blouse gives structure without fuss.
- Stretch silk gives comfort and elegance
- Tie-neck detail elevates the look
- Green shade works beautifully with silver or gold jewelry
- Great tucked in or loosely draped
Wide-Leg Ponte Pants – Green Accent
If you prefer pants over skirts (and many of us do!), go for a Wide-Leg Ponte pair. The wide leg gives an elegant line, and the ponte fabric keeps things smooth and comfortable through the midsection. Pair with a simple blouse or jacket for holiday outfits that don’t look like you tried too hard.
- Wide leg elongates and flatters
- Ponte fabric offers structure and comfort
- Green tone adds a stylish holiday hint

- Green trim or base gives a nod to the season without being overt
- Great over sweaters or long-sleeve tees
- Ideal for winter day outings or casual dinners
Microfleece Button-Shoulder Pullover
This Microfleece Pullover is a lovely cozy holiday-at-home piece. The button detail at the shoulder makes it cuter than a regular fleece. The green shade keeps it in the spirit without wearing a novelty sweater.
- Soft microfleece is warm and comfortable
- Button detail adds style
- Works with jeans, leggings, or ponte pants

- A belted waist creates a feminine shape
- Midi length is modest and stylish
- Twill fabric gives structure
- Works for work, church, or holiday lunches
