Green Fever: How This Bold Hue Took Over 2024 and Made Avocado Bathrooms Cool Again!

Wherever you look, green has been the unstoppable force of 2024, bursting from catwalks to your favorite social media feeds! Who knew our love affair with this hue would reveal so much about our moods?

Turns out, Pantone's prediction of "peach fuzz" for 2024 fell flat, as the year has undeniably morphed into a vibrant green explosion. Just when you thought you were on-trend with your lush velvet moss green sofa, you weren't alone—sales of green couches at John Lewis soared by a staggering 32%! Sofa enthusiasts flocked to Loaf for its wildly popular "pressed olive" hue, and even the classics weren't safe—'70s avocado bathroom suites made a shocking comeback with searches up a mind-blowing 3,000%!

Fashionistas couldn't get enough, with Prada's spring/summer 2025 show serving up emerald cardigans and military shades stealing the show at McQueen and Gucci. TikTokers couldn't resist the viral cucumber salad craze, leading to a cucumber shortage in Iceland and a Deliveroo sensation in London! And let's not get started on the matcha madness—from matcha beer to caramel foam, and teens flaunting iced matcha lattes like trophies!

And then there came brat green—the electric hue that sparked off Charli xcx's album cover and shook up fashion and politics! Suddenly, everyone wanted to channel their inner wild child with slime-green nails and Kamala Harris's campaign splashed with this shade. Nail salons couldn't keep up, and it was official: green had conquered the world!

But wait, there's a deeper meaning behind our obsession. Is our green rush a rebellion against the digital age or simply a longing for simpler times? Psychologists suggest it embodies our thirst for change. Whether it fueled the Green party's political rise or unsettled global watchers, green was about stepping outside our comfort zone!

From Wicked star Cynthia Erivo's dazzling dragon-esque teal dress to a pistachio bombardment at the Oscars, green was everywhere, adding a surge of freshness and inclusivity unseen since the days of Barbie pink.

As the festive season wraps us in green glory, whispers suggest pistachio green could reign supreme in 2025. But don't get too cozy—chocolaty "mocha mousse" might just upstage it all, enticing us with its warm, comforting embrace after a whirlwind year. Will you stick with green or snuggle into soothing brown as your color of choice? The bold hues of 2024 might just predict a new era of style chaos! Explore more on this promising shift here.
