Green: Fresh, Clean and Balanced

It's not easy bein' green....But green's the color of Spring.....And green can be cool and friendly-like...And green can be big like an ocean, or important.....Like a mountain, or tall like a tree....(Kermit The Frog - It's Not Easy Being Green).

Green is the color of nature, fertility and balance: more than any other colour, it embodies feelings of calm, clarity and optimism. Understated yet unmistakable, green is approachable, peaceful and confident.

In Irish culture, green symbolizes luck, while the Pagans use green to represent fertility and vitality. It was the favorite of President George Washington, and green is the color of love in Greek mythology.

Universally associated with nature, there are more shades of green than any other color (including gray).

And it goes without saying - green is the color of money!

Think it's time to personalize your shirt collection with some fresh shades? Check out these design tips on how you can rock the green - without looking like a leprechaun:

A Fresh Twist on the Tuxedo Shirt: Swap out that plain white tuxedo shirt for a crisp, custom made mint green dress shirt complete with a classic spread collar and French cuffs. Accessories with a flat satin black bow tie and matching cufflinks for a formal look that's a refreshing change from the ordinary.

Cool Confidence: Match a tailor-made long sleeve green linen shirt with dark grey trousers and a matte black belt for a classy, yet approachable, look that will take you from the office to the pub with ease.

Chill Out: Enjoy long, lazy summer days in a made-to-measure cool green short sleeve shirt tucked out over a pair of beige chinos with a brown basket-weave belt. This timeless look works great for weekend brunch with friends or a walk on the beach with that special someone.
