Now that you have the quick answer, keep reading to know when to choose each one according to the occasion.

Whether for a light green or dark green dress, you’ll find below the best clutch bag suggestions for a wedding, a cocktail party, or a more casual event!

What color purse goes with a green dress?

Whether it is a light green or dark green dress, the right purse can instantly add elegance and sophistication to your outfit. However, it is essential to always take the occasion into consideration.

For example: if you have been invited to be a bridesmaid, it is best to opt for a clutch bag in a more discreet color, such as silver or gold. This way, you will keep the spotlight where it should be: on your dress and, of course, the bride.

On the other hand, you can pick a more playful or colorful purse if the occasion is a daytime party in spring or summer. In this case, a hot pink or fuchsia clutch bag will be perfect for a bolder and more trendy look.

However, whatever the occasion, I’m sure you’ll find the inspiration below to pick the right one!

1. Green

For a monochromatic yet polished look, you can match the color of your purse to the color of your dress.

In fact, a clutch bag in the same color is a subtle and classy option that will make you look elegant without taking too much attention away from your dress.

In this case, I always recommend picking a purse in a lighter or darker shade than your dress to create some contrast.

For example, if you choose to wear a light green or mint green dress, a dark or emerald green clutch bag will pair perfectly and give you an exquisite look.

2. Silver

If you’re going to wear a green dress with silver embroidery, pairing it with a silver purse is another safe option that will give you an elegant look.

To do this, all you have to do is pick a clutch bag in a similar shade to the embroidery. However, you can perfectly wear a silver purse with dresses that don’t have embroidery!

In fact, a metallic purse is a versatile and classy option for any occasion, whether to pair it with a light green or dark green dress. Personally, I love to see a silver clutch bag with a mint green or emerald green dress!

Finally, remember that the accessories we choose will define whether our look is more casual or formal. So, this purse option will be a perfect pick for a formal evening party, especially if you also wear silver shoes.

3. Gold

Whether for a wedding or a more glamorous evening party, you can’t go wrong by pairing your green dress with a gold purse.

A gold clutch bag will be an excellent choice for an exquisite and luxurious look without taking too much attention away from your dress.

Like silver, it’s a versatile and elegant option for bridesmaids or those who want something more subtle. Pair it with gold earrings and nude shoes for a flawless and classy look!

4. Lilac or lavender

If I had to choose my favorite purse color to go with a green dress, it would be lilac!

Since Pantone chose very peri as the color of the year 2022, dresses in shades of this palette, such as lilac and lavender, have been a favorite for bridesmaids.

However, their popularity didn’t stop there: accessories in these colors are also in high demand!

In fact, a lilac or lavender clutch bag is a trendy option to wear at a daytime wedding, giving you a delicate yet playful summer look.

Even though it goes with just about any shade of green, I prefer to see a lilac or lavender clutch bag with a light green dress!

5. Pink

Like lilac or lavender, pink accessories are also trendy! So if it’s summer and you’ve been invited to a daytime wedding, there’s nothing better than pairing your green dress with a pink clutch!

To add boldness to your look, you can opt for a hot pink or even fuchsia clutch bag to wear with your green dress, regardless of its tone. If you do, pair it with earrings with details in the same color to dare even more!

On the other hand, if you prefer something less flashy to keep the spotlight on your dress, a light pink clutch bag is a safe choice that will give you a more delicate and romantic look.

6. Purple

If you’re not afraid to wear stronger, flashier colors, you can pair your green dress with a purple clutch. This color, associated with royalty, is perfect for a formal party and will give you an elegant and mysterious look.

Being quite versatile, it will go with any green dress, regardless of its tone. However, if you ask me, I love seeing a purple clutch bag with an olive or emerald green dress, especially for an evening party.

If you choose to coordinate your outfit this way, be careful not to overdo it on the jewelry. Silver earrings with purple details are enough for a flawless look that will turn heads wherever you go!

7. Black or navy blue

If invited to an evening party, you can pair a dark green dress with a black purse for a timeless, elegant look. On the other hand, if black is too basic for you, an excellent alternative is a navy blue clutch bag.

Even though a black or navy blue purse does look especially good with a dark green dress, you can also wear it with dresses in lighter shades.

If you want to look even more classy, pair both with gold accessories!

If you are not afraid of going bolder, you can pair a dark green dress with a burgundy clutch bag. This intense and elegant purse color will be perfect for a glamorous and daring evening look, attracting attention like no other!

To keep the look warm and sophisticated, you can match it with gold jewelry with details in the same color as the purse. As for the nails, a bright red nail polish will be the perfect choice to bring even more boldness to your look.

Have you been invited to a summer wedding? Then you can add the energy of this season to your look by pairing your green dress with a coral or salmon clutch bag!

Trendy and versatile, these purse colors will match any shade of green. However, if you ask me my favorite combo, I love to see a coral or salmon clutch bag with an olive green dress.

Indeed, it can’t get any more romantic and feminine, especially if you pair it with gold accessories!
