DESPITE the old sayings — “blue and green should never be seen except in the washing machine” and “blue and green should be never seen without a colour in between” — the truth is, these two colours are great together.
Blue and green are the colours of nature. Look at one of the peacock, so beautiful and elegant, in perfect harmony. And don’t forget the blue hydrangea — one of my favourite flowers.

How to wear black and navy together
Blue is a primary colour and when mixed with yellow it creates green. This is why you CAN wear the two together; one is created from the other.

So, why not team teal blue and emerald green, or try a darker forest colour with an aquamarine tone, mint and sky, navy and jade, periwinkle with emerald, lime with navy. If you want to introduce a third colour, you can’t go past white!
However, the secret is getting the tones right. Just as there are blue-based and yellow-based colours, the same goes for blues and greens. So mix blue-based greens with like-toned blues.
HOW TO WEAR BLUE AND GREEN TOGETHER
- For maximum impact wear a fabulous statement piece — a great coat, gorgeous dress or if you’re really adventurous a suit in a texture or boucle tweed of the two colours.
- If that’s too much, let your accessories do the sparkling, with statement jewellery, scarves, bags or shoes in matching or complementary jewel tones.
