"Sage green is the new neutral," Nicole shared.

She said we are about to see shades of this "muted green" everywhere.

Sage and its closely related cousin, pistachio, have been popping up all over runways from dresses at Tove and Chloé, bottoms at Tibi and Tory Burch, to accessories at Prada and Simone Rocha.
