It’s December, and that means the stress of finding the perfect dress for New Year has reached a fever pitch. For those people who already have that sorted, the planning then begins for what to buy next spring. And the folks over at Pantonehave released what will be the definitive colour for clothes and make-up in 2013 – Emerald.

Gucci, Stella McCartney and Zac Posen all featured this rich colour in their catwalk collection recently. In fact earlier this year we noticed how green gowns were a trend on the red carpet.

Confused how to wear this shade? Start with some blacks and golds, which go wonderfully with emerald tones.
