Plus, this herbaceous hue pairs beautifully with literally everything in your wardrobe—from your favorite jeans to that flowy summer dress you’ve been saving for a special occasion.
The best part? Sage green works for every season. Spring? It’s giving fresh garden vibes. Summer? Hello, botanical queen. Fall? Perfectly on-theme with those changing leaves. Winter? Unexpectedly chic against cozy knits.
