There’s a reason why NYC cool girls gravitate toward an all-black wardrobe come fall. It’s chic, edgy and effortless, making it a go-to neutral we count on time and time again. But the fashion world is flipping that upside down because there’s a new ‘it’ neutral in town, and she’s here to stay. Say hello to your new go-to: forest green.
Forest green has been topping the trend charts, gracing everything from catwalks to SoHo streets — and suddenly, we’re wondering why we’re clinging to our drab all-black ensembles from October through January. The deep, rich green hue works as a solid neutral, giving moody outfits a bit of color for an understated look that just works. You can rock them with other black pieces in your wardrobe, or go bold with a green-on-green look that’s bound to get compliments. No matter how you wear it, you’ll look positively sleek, especially when you pick up these posh picks from Quince, Abercrombie & Fitch and beyond.
15 Cool Girl-Approved Forest Green Pieces for Fall 2026
1. Our Favorite: A cozy knit sweater that can be worn multiple ways deserves a spot in your wardrobe; this dark, earthy-hued cardigan works as a layer over a tank or dress, but it can also be worn as a solo top, making it extremely versatile.
2. Designer-Inspired: Just one look is all it took for Us to add this rich-mom blouse to our cart. The boat neckline, exaggerated sleeves and clever ruching give this fall must-have a sleek, flattering look for every event on the calendar.
3. CEO Energy: Get the trendy color with a polished edge when you score these tailored trousers. The pants are a good example of why the deep hue works as a neutral; it’s dark enough to be professional, while still giving work outfits a bit of color. Psst, the slimming front pleats seal the deal.
4. Cozy-Chic: In case you missed it, V-neck sweaters are back in a big way — if you style them right. Sure, you can wear this incredibly soft Old Navy number on its own, but we love to layer it on top of a basic white tee, making the contrast of the shirt with the deep green hue look actually trendy.
5. Rich Mom: Every affluent woman we know has a polished blouse like this one in their closet. Now you can channel the rich mom look without spending big bucks with this silk collared blouse. It drapes effortlessly and has a subtle sheen that oozes wealth.
6. Bestseller Alert: Over 30,000 Amazon shoppers are in love with this slimming swing shift dress, and it’s easy to see why. The biggest takeaway? The billowy sleeves and loose tiered skirt work magic over lumps and bumps, so you can sit, eat and dance without a care in the world.
7. Quite the Charmer: We’ve been wearing quarter-zip sweaters on the regular this season, and this forest green knit is next on our wishlist. The Abercrombie number is made with the softest, most durable materials and has ribbed stitching for that lived-in effect.
8. Expensive-Looking: Weddings, holiday parties and fancy dates all call for a knockout outfit, and this cowl-neck cocktail dress is one that caught our eye instantly. In addition to featuring fall’s coolest color, this midi dress also has an overlay design that’s secured with a gold-toned buckle to give you a designer look with a flattering appearance.
9. No Brainer: A silk skirt that’s actually washable? Yep, Quince did Us a solid with this gorgeous midi style that looks elevated yet approachable for all-day wear. It’s available in 17 colors and patterns; however, the forest green shade is our favorite upgrade to black.
10. Must-Try: Your little black dress just got some competition. This little green dress is taking the top spot for girls’ night outs and holiday shindigs, pairing two trends in one: this season’s color and opulent velvet. Oh, and that mock neckline and lace hem is the cherry on top.
11. Soft Statement: Cable-knit sweaters and fall style go hand-in-hand, which is why you’ll want to snap up this crewneck find ASAP. It’s made entirely of soft, breathable cotton, so even though it looks heavy, the material will keep you temperate while running to the subway or power walking to the coffee shop.
12. Wedding Season: Now that you RSVP’d to one of many fall weddings, it’s time to find something to wear. Might we suggest this stretchy satin wedding guest dress that’s available in luxurious forest green. We think the shade gives it a moody fall edge that makes it look ten times the price.
13. Comfort MVP: When the party’s over, you’ll probably want to throw on some sweats and call it a day. That’s totally fair, but it doesn’t mean you can’t look pulled together while getting comfy. This classic crewneck sweater from the Gap is proof that you can lounge in style.
14. Playful Pattern: This may be cheating, but we really adore this plaid mini skort from Abercrombie. It features a few colors, including forest green, to give you this dark academia style that ‘It’ girls are styling all season. By the way, this pick is part of the brand’s Curve Love collection, so you know the fit is chef’s kiss.
15. Total Reset: Velvet is one of those materials that keeps coming back for fall and winter. It’s why shoppers are flocking to get their hands on blouses in this season’s most lavish fabric, and this Quince button-up shirt is one to consider. The blouse is so eye-catching, everyone will notice you the moment you walk through the door.
