3. Now It’s Easy To Be Green Green, another standout on spring/summer runways, appeared widely in retail and street style in 2022 and continues to grow in popularity. PureWow’s Abby Hepworth says green is the “new top dog” in fashion and extols its versatility: “You can opt for essentially whatever shade you like best and feel confident you’ll fit right in.” Given strong sales for green in 2022, Richmond is also excited about green this year, especially Pine, a muted, earthy hue Bella+Canvas adopted as part of its group of “vintage” colors. These earthy hues offer a counterpoint to bright, Y2K candy colors and give a garment the appearance of having been washed and worn for years, suggesting nostalgia, comfort – and staying power. “Washes are very popular in our industry,” she adds, “so this kind of achieves that look without actually having a wash process added to it.” Green continues to grow in popularity, from pale mint to dark forest.
