Morphology
retrogreen + style
The meaning is directly compositional: 'retro' (relating to past fashions) + 'green' (environmentally friendly) combined with 'style' (fashion/aesthetic) yields a fashion style mixing vintage elements with eco-friendly features. Although 'retrogreen' is not a standard dictionary headword, this kind of productive compounding is transparent and cross-linguistically accessible, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Retrogreen style comes from joining retro, meaning 'old fashion looks', and green, meaning 'eco-friendly choices', creating a picture of vintage clothes made with recycled or natural materials. Imagine a 1950s dress sewn from recycled fabric or dyed with plant colors, an old shape made with earth-friendly materials. So, retrogreen style means fashion that looks to the past while being kind to the environment.
