Green casual dresses

There's a specific moment green dresses come into their own: when the weather can't decide, boots are back out, and black feels like the boring option. A casual green dress is built for exactly that. Deep olive, khaki and forest carry the earthy, end-of-summer feeling better than almost anything, while sage, mint and light green do the same job in reverse once spring rolls around. Either way, it's colour that feels seasonal and easy rather than fussy. Sizes 4 to 20, free UK delivery over £135.

The dress boots were made for

This is a dress that wants boots. Tan, cognac and chocolate boots are its natural partners, an ankle boot for everyday or a knee-high when you want more leg, and green against brown leather always looks rich. Layer up from there: a denim jacket on milder days, a chunky knit or a trench when it turns properly cold. Where you'll wear it leans outdoorsy, a weekend away somewhere leafy, a farmers' market, a long riverside walk, a slow pub lunch. Add a suede or woven bag and the earthy thing keeps going.

Every shade, every length

Green covers a lot of ground. Sage, mint and light green feel fresh and spring-like; olive, forest, emerald and dark green run deeper and warmer for the colder months, so there's a shade for whatever the calendar's doing. Length plays in too: a green maxi is easy and covered-up for cooler days, a green midi is the versatile middle, and a green mini waits for warm weather. And yes, green does smart-casual, olive and forest read polished enough for a work day with a blazer and a loafer. 

Green, and then some

For more, our green dresses edit gathers every shade in one place, and the capsule wardrobe edit is handy for building-block basics. Mini dresses bring the length to other colours, linen dresses and the summer edit cover the warm-weather end, and when a low-key day turns into an evening, there's plenty waiting.
