![Seeing green? Here are 25 ways to wear fashion’s latest obsession](https://www.indy100.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=28065190&width=1245&height=700&quality=85&coordinates=0%2C202%2C0%2C202)

As W Magazine broke down in their recent deep dive on the subject, the color green is taking over the fashion world in 2021.
Telfar dropped a green shopper in June that sold out instantly. JW PEI has several of their own green bags to offer, including ones we covered in this piece. Even Rihanna stepped out last month wearing a neon polo by British-Indian designer Lele, thus solidifying the trend’s hipness in one shirt.
Whether it’s driven by a newfound appreciation for finally tackling the climate crisis, a tongue-in-cheek nod to consumerist culture (being the color of money and all), or the signal of rebirth in a world slowly emerging from an 18-month cocoon, who’s to say? All we know is we like it, and we think you will, too.
Below we gathered 20 items that we think fit the trend beautifully to varying degrees. Some dainty jewelry here, a pleather pant there–however ready you are to incorporate some more green in your life, we’ve found the clothes and accessories to help guide you down the right sartorial path.

Evergreen Gleam and Flare Pants
Say it with me now: Green. Pleather. Flares.
The concept sounds slightly absurd, but the effect is fantastic. Nothing has ever been cooler than a slick pair of leathers so to have them in this very up-to-date shape and uncommon shade (not to mention affordable material) is simply divine. Pair with a white graphic tee like this cute cat shirt also on Modcloth for a perfect late summer/early fall outfit.
