Loro Piana Shawl Green
WHY IT WORKS
Same dress and shoe as 4A. The Loro Piana Green (soft sage/celadon) pulls the leafy stem colors from the hydrangea print — color echo but grounding rather than elevating. More interesting and sophisticated than the blue — less matchy, more considered. Also extends across wardrobe and fills a temperature gap in the shawl collection.
THE TENSION
Structured floral formality softened by flat; sage shawl pulls leafy stems from print for earthier echo
