As summer draws to a close and nature shifts to warmer, more mature tones, something almost alchemical happens in the fashion world. We all know that moment: the buttery yellow that accompanied us through the carefree months suddenly loses its luster. In its place comes something more tangible, more sovereign, almost physically soothing. That moment when you feel that your wardrobe needs a new frequency. And this year that frequency doesn't sound yellow. In autumn, green comes to the fore.
Green color – it’s not just a transition into a new season, it’s a style transformation. It’s not pretentious like emerald, nor too soft like menthol. It’s bold without fuss, sophisticated without effort. Like the smell of freshly cut grass in the middle of a concrete metropolis, like the feeling of wearing nature – but in urban form. Vivid green is the new foundation of autumn minimalism, a new silence that exudes volume when needed. And once you see how it pairs with rich chocolate, plum, milky white or platinum, it’s almost impossible to go back to the yellow color scheme.

Why the color green? Because fashion breathes differently this year
In the fall of 2025, fashion is returning to restrained luxury. And while trends are cooling down, vibrant green is heating up. In the WGSN and Pantone reports for FW25 emerges as a color that “connects consciousness, aesthetics and confident femininity.” In fashion houses such as Hermès, Saint Laurent and Tom Ford, green was used as the main accent – often combined with dark neutral tones or metallic details.
Green is the color of determination. It acts as a zen color. It is not worn to be noticed – but to be remembered.

What to combine it with? A styling formula that always works
Green is the color that doesn't need consensus. It works with the basics, blends with neutral tones, but never loses its character. Combined with creamy white, it acts as a breath of fresh air; with chocolate brown, it becomes deep and confident. With black, it smells of architectural minimalism, and with lavender, it takes on an almost poetic tone.
If you include it in an outfit, let it have space. It is not afraid of contrasts, but chooses them wisely. A soft knit in a neutral tone, a green handbag – and you already have a balance that does not look put-together, but experienced. In evening combinations, it likes to hang out with gold details, and in daytime combinations with textures: satin, wool coats, silk. Like a good friend – it knows how to be the center of attention, but never competes.

We wear green not as a color, but as a statement. It says something about you before you even speak. Green is not a capricious color. It works with most primary colors, but it shows its greatest power when you let it breathe. The effect is similar to a great perfume - less is more, but it has to be precise.

Colors that green goes best with:
-
- White, milky and optically clear – for sharpness
- Black – for graphic contrast
- Bordeaux, plum and wine red – for depth
- Lavender – for a poetic touch
- Platinum silver or antique gold – for an evening glow

And now – a handbag that rounds out the trend
If there's only one piece to update your wardrobe for fall 2025, it should be this small, structured handbag in greenWith it, you send a clear message: I follow the trend, but I have my own direction.
These handbags – we spotted them at The Row, Loewe, COS and APC – they almost look like sculptures. Small, sturdy, often with straight lines and minimalist details. Material? Matte leather, brushed leather, or soft suede. Carry it in your hand or on a thin strap over your shoulder – as the moment dictates.
At a time when oversized bags are losing their shape and meaning, the small green bag is gaining character. It is practical, thoughtful and visually clean.

Conclusion: Yellow was a phase. Green is the future.
Trends come and go – but some colors stick. In the fall of 2025, vibrant green will be the color that changes the rules. It will be the color of women who are no longer interested in loud fashion, but in a style that resonates quietly and long-lastingly.
Butter yellow? It deserved its five minutes. But now it's time for something stronger, more current, and above all, more... green.
