Keeping in line with the fashion set’s appetite for food-inspired hues (“butter yellow” and “dark cherry”), this season is being categorized by yet another gastronomic shade: pistachio green. Not quite olive, lighter than forest green, and more saturated than mint, this vibrant tone has been slowly seeping into our wardrobes in all forms.

While pistachio has appeared on numerous runways over the past few seasons—and went viral in 2023, thanks to the Dubai-chocolate-bar craze (a rich brick of chocolate filled with pistachio cream)—designers are once again putting their fresh spin on the tone. For spring/summer 2025, Miu Miu, Prada, and Alexander McQueen debuted statement-green dresses and bags, though the decadent shade may have an even bigger moment come autumn, according to fall/winter 2025 runways. Models at Saint Laurent walked the catwalk in vivid green ’80s-inspired silhouettes, while designers at Valentino broke up a monochromatic look with a pair of punchy pistachio lace tights. And Gucci made the biggest case for the color, showing a range of creamy pastel to bold green dresses, skirts, bags, and knitwear.

Beyond the catwalk, stars like Taylor Swift and Kendall Jenner have been quick to adopt variations of the yummy green tint, alongside chic showgoers in Copenhagen, Milan, and Paris.

If recent runways are any indication, pistachio green will continue to infiltrate our wardrobes long past summer. But compared to 2024’s chocolate-brown trend, styling this nuanced color can require a bit more finessing. To help you get it right, we’ve assembled five looks that do pistachio green justice. From striking color-blocked outfits to more subtle ensembles, there’s a way to sport the hue for nearly every occasion.

Look 1: Dubai Chocolate Bar

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2025

Pairing green and brown is hardly a novel idea, but whether you’re taking inspiration from the Dubai-chocolate-bar trend or from nature, this color combination is easy enough to get right. One model at Miu Miu wore a brown set with a pistachio-toned suede bag—though it’s entirely up to you how much acreage you want to give to each color. Make a statement by layering a rich ’60s-inspired jacket with a laid-back brown vest.

Look 2: Pastel Pistachio

Gucci Fall/Winter 2025/2026

Pantone’s definition of pistachio leans more pastel, and this look from Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2025 show exemplifies that perfectly. Go light this summer and pair a pale-green skirt with other pastel-toned pieces, like a lilac bodysuit and butter-yellow purse. This look is ideal for a garden-party setting, but come cooler weather, you can keep the same color scheme but swap in a pistachio cream sweater and some showstopping boots.

Look 3: Complementary Trends

Gucci Cruise 2025

You don’t have to say goodbye to last season’s color trends to adopt a new one. While pistachio is ideally paired with chocolate brown, Gucci’s Cruise 2025 collection proved it’s also a great match for dark cherry. To keep your look from feeling too holiday-ready, style your pistachio pieces with deep-burgundy accessories and light-brown suede accents.

Look 4: Full-On Pistachio

Chanel Fall/Winter 2025/2026

Wearing green all over could make it look like you’re preparing for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration, so if you want to wear a full pistachio outfit, opt for a warmer, more olive-toned ensemble. This version of the trend is easier to pull off and won’t overwhelm your frame, whether you opt for a two-piece set or a statement green dress.

Look 5: Statement Accessories

Valentino Fall/Winter 2025/2026

If you’re just looking to dip your toe into the trend, pair your everyday look with one (or two) great pistachio accessories. Anything from a luscious green bag or some cool sunnies will do the trick. Not sure which colors match best? Beyond neutrals, we recommend starting with darker hues, like navy or burgundy, as your base to allow the pistachio accents to really stand out.
