11 Ways To Incorporate Striking Parakeet Green Into Your Wardrobe
Yes, THAT shade of green you’ve been seeing everyone wear
Under the creative direction of Daniel Lee, Bottega Veneta made parakeet green trendy. While Matthieu Blazy has since gone on to replace Lee at the house, this distinctive shade of grass green has not only become synonymous with the brand, it’s also quickly become a mainstay in fashion, regularly making appearances on runways and in stores. We’re digging it too — the colour is pleasing to the eye, yet adds a pop of colour to every look. Here’s how you can incorporate it into your wardrobe!
If we’re talking about this grass green hue, it would be blasphemous not to include the brand that popularised it in the first place, right? Upon release, Bottega Veneta’s padded cassette quickly rose to ‘it’ bag status, and it’s not hard to see why. With an intricate woven design that’s slightly reminiscent of ketupat, the cassette bag is a conversation-starter.
PINKO’s pretty knitted dress is equally easy to dress up or down — style it with a pair of sandals for a relaxed daytime look, or throw on a sleek leather blazer and heels for a night out.

Isn’t this enough reason to add the shoes to your cart and check out?
This shoulder bag from Zara combines two of the hottest trends this season — statement bag chains and parakeet green! The vibrant green bag is made even more stunning with the contrasting brushed gold chain. It’s roomy too, so there’s more than enough space for all the essentials.
