Brandy Dress

If putting the two colors together seems difficult to coordinate, choose an outfit that already combines the two, like a dress from Reformation that you can definitely wear all year round.

If you like the combination of green and black, but want something different small For more glam, opt for green and silver this holiday season. The dark, velvety green pairs perfectly with the bright, shimmering silver, so this is truly a color combination that can’t go wrong.
