One of Pantone’s Top 10 New York Fashion Week Colors for Spring 2024 is Watercress. I adore this color because it is the perfect choice for the warmer months ahead, when you don’t want to wear a bold color nor basic black, white or beige. It adds a new freshness to your wardrobe yet it works just like a neutral. Watercress Green is the best new neutral for Spring and Summer 2024.
Reasons To Add Watercress Green To Your Wardrobe
This color is easy to wear for most skin tones and you can wear it monochrome, or mixed with other bright colors or prints. The color is lighter which is ideal for warm weather, yet easier to wear than white, which is difficult to keep clean.
Pantone describes it as “a refreshing peppery green with a sprightly presence.” The way I am seeing this color trend as it is offered in the stores is more of a silvery olive green. When you shop online you will see it described as “khaki green” at H&M or “tapestry” at J.Crew.
YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

How to Wear Watercress
Go Monochrome
Watercress green makes the perfect base color, such as a dress or pantsuit. Watercress green is understated and elegant for women over 50. Or pair wide leg pants or a flowy skirt in the color and wear a similar shade t-shirt or top for an all-watercress outfit. Opt for pieces in varying shades and textures to create depth and interest. You can accessorize your monochrome Watercress look with nude, ivory, or bright metallic gold or silver sandals and jewelry.
Mix and Match
It’s super easy to mix and match other colors and prints with Watercress. Try any bright shade such as hot pink, lemon, orange or aqua blue, as well as crisp white. If you chose a print, it doesn’t even need to include green and it will still work with Watercress.
Accessories
Do you need a new spring handbag or a pair of shoes or sandals? Watercress is a fabulous choice because it is a fresh, soothing and light color that will go with everything in your closet.
