5 dresses under £50: Forget wearing red this Christmas because emerald green is the colour of the season

Christmas time is about mistletoe and wine, the colours green and red have dominated the season for many years. However, green is taking over as the number one colour you should be wearing this year. The festive party season is in full swing and at this time of year, you will be looking to find the perfect party dress. This season you can forget about wearing the cliché red colour because it's all about emerald green.

We have seen a huge rise in the jewel colours such as gold, silver sapphire, ruby and emerald in fashion recently, but the must-have colour to be wearing for Christmas 2023 appears to be emerald green. It's a colour loved by celebrities including Salma Hayek, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Rose Bertram. There is no better time than the festive season to dress up and look like an expensive piece of jewellery. But that doesn’t mean your outfit has to be expensive. 

I am obsessed with everything emerald green right now. Everything from jumpers, blazers and dresses to my phone-case, notebook and even nail colour is currently emerald green. It suits pretty much every single skin tone and hair colour. Paired with gold, you will look like you are dripping in luxury. I have put together a list of my absolute favourite affordable emerald green dresses for you to wear throughout the Christmas party season and New Year.
