On European runways, sage green made a strong impression at Jil Sander, Dior, and Alaïa, among others. In New York, Danielle Kallmeyer styled sage trousers with a cropped army green coat, while newcomer Heirlome leaned into the shade with a fluid silk set.

The color has also become popular on the street. Lauren Hutton was one of many seen wearing it, spotted in a soft sage Bottega Veneta blazer outside the brand’s spring show.

Subtle without being too sweet, sage green brings ease to tailored staples—blazers, trousers, crisp shirts—while adding a refined touch to warmer-weather pieces like shorts and slip dresses. It pairs especially well with graphic neutrals like sharp black and optic white, as well as other bright pastels. Here’s how we’re wearing it now.

Polished, Not Precious
Bring Alaïa’s soft sage skirt into sharp focus with monochromatic extras—a sculptural black top and optic white heels. Tibi’s army green shell adds sporty ease.
