Copy Paste: a pistachio green blazer, basic with a twist

A delicate light green will upgrade your wardrobe while also chasing away the autumn dreariness. A suggested combination.

When we think of versatile clothes, we usually imagine neutral tones such as black, white or beige. In doing so, it’s worth expanding your horizons when it comes to basics. My suggestion: a muted pastel green, also known fittingly as pistachio, sage or honeydew green. The colour is as beautiful as it sounds – and easy to combine too. Influencer Valeria Kei provides proof with her outfit.

Light green, medium blue and white – an appealing colour trio.

Depending on your preference, you can also go for knee-high boots instead of ankle boots for this look.

Valeria’s look is very simple: medium blue denim shorts in a slightly longer, loose cut, with a white tank top and an unbuttoned white blouse. The shoes, bag and belt are also white. In itself an attractive look, if a bit unexciting. This is where the light-green oversized blazer bursts onto the scene. The colour attracts attention without being obtrusive. An oversized cut adds a trendy touch to the outfit and the extra textile layer creates a nice layered effect.

By the way, delicate light green harmonises perfectly not only with pastel colours and neutral tones, but also with strong shades such as royal blue or lime green. It also brings freshness and lightness to autumnal colours such as fir green or bordeaux, making it ideal for the coming season – and beyond.

Has endless love for shoulder pads, Stratocasters and sashimi, but a limited tolerance for bad impressions of her Eastern Swiss dialect.
