The Knights of the Round Table express their solidarity by wearing a green girdle as Gawain does. Why does Gawain wear the green girdle?

Gawain wears the green girdle that was given to him by the Green Knight to show his shame. He shamefully lied to the Green Knight even though the knight knew the truth all along. Gawain is left to wear the girdle as a symbol of his shame.
