Being environmentally friendly is less challenging today than it was a few decades ago. With an influx of 100 percent recyclable food containers, tougher waste-management systems and bio-infused clothing items, it’s now easier than ever to go green. Yet, for those who may still be slow to the movement, there is a fun way to trick yourself into the habit—outside of recycling at home daily. One option is to dress the part, which means incorporating a field of green-colored accoutrements into your wardrobe. From rich emeralds to lush olive tones, green is front and center this season.

Looking gorgeous in green doesn’t have to be reserved for A-list celebrities or top runway models. You, too, can be an eco-conscious style maven—who knows, you may even take that leap of fully committing to separating your soda cans from the plastic water bottles and thrown-out leftovers!
