The Specific Color Taking Over on the Upper East Side
It's preppy and collegiate. It can likely be found in estate jewelry collections and on tennis courts alike. It's emerald green: the specific color taking over on the Upper East Side in New York. The shade is suddenly everywhere uptown in Manhattan, and I first noticed it in sports attire, including preppy sweatshirts, baseball caps, and tennis looks from brands such as Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, and Sporty Rich that likely took inspiration for the color from the courts themselves.
I then started to see the shade in jewelry. Emeralds, of course, are the star of tennis bracelets, cigar-band rings, and cocktail earrings. The color is also appearing in jewelry designs without the precious stone, including everything from the dial of a Rolex Day-Date timepiece to the stones in a Dorsey tennis necklace. Ahead, shop an edit of the best emerald-green pieces to add to your wardrobe this season.
