Finding your shade of green

A side-by-side look at green kimonos and the colours to wear underneath.

Compare the greens, not just the names

Sparkling Jade, Seafoam Grace and Spring Meadow offer different combinations of green and pattern. Start with the photographs rather than expecting a product name to describe the exact shade.

Open the product pages alongside one another. The amount of contrast in a print can change the impression as much as the main colour.

Try a neutral underneath

White and pale trousers make a green layer feel lighter; dark denim or black creates a stronger outline. Try both before adding another colour.

Seafoam Grace is photographed with a light base. Treat that as an idea to try, not an outfit you need to reproduce.

Choose the fabric as well as the colour

The green selection spans different material labels. Seafoam Grace is listed as 100% silk, while Sparkling Jade and Spring Meadow are mixed silk.

Use the material filter when browsing if you have a preference, then compare fit and photographs before deciding. A favourite colour is a good beginning, but it is not the only thing to check.
