First food, then beauty and now fashion – at GH, pistachio is the colour of the year!

At Good Housekeeping HQ, it’s hard to escape the buzz surrounding pistachio – pistachio Easter eggs, pistachio chocolate, pistachio perfume… and now, pistachio green is taking over fashion.

The soft and sophisticated hue, effortlessly combining freshness and elegance, is making its mark as the standout colour for summer 2025, joining its pastel sister shades butter yellow and powder blue.

Summer 2025 is the season of pastels, and pistachio green is undoubtedly claiming the crown. Not as cool-toned as mint, nor as lurid as lime, pistachio green offers a subtle yet sophisticated tone that elevates any outfit. What makes pistachio green our go-to pastel this year is its versatility. It makes a bold statement when paired with contrasting colours and equally pairs effortlessly with classic neutrals such as cream, black or beige; it creates a refined energy that brings minimalist wardrobes to life.

From the runways of Coach and Erdem to its seamless arrival in everyday collections, this pastel hue has captured the imagination of designers and style enthusiasts alike. Zara’s tailored suits, inspired by Erdem’s Spring/Summer 2025 show, and Chloe’s rise of boho style with pistachio-toned blouses and dresses have us swooning over this soft green shade.

Here at GH, we champion a versatile wardrobe – and pistachio green is poised to become as essential as your monochrome basics. Whether you’re dressing for Ascot, the Chelsea Flower Show or a spring wedding, this trend promises to elevate your wardrobe and bring refreshing sophistication to your spring style.
