Please help me dress around Olive Green
Permalink Closed


I know lots of people who can treat olive green as a neutral and wear anything with it, but I'm not programmed that way. Everything I wear with my Olive pants is either white, cream or black.


What colors am I not thinking of?


I love when I see poeple wearing colors with their olive, but when it's my turn, in my closet, I chicken out!


TIA

I think that navy or jewel tones would look great with olive.

I love wearing olive green and

- shades of pink, esp. fuschia
- light blue
- eggplant

And the most recent JCrew catalog paired an orange sweater with olive green pants, which I absolutely LOVE. I plan to copy that asap.

What about Peacock blue? A mostly blue shade with green undertones. The "jewel toned" comment made me think of it, and I just bought a sweater in that color.

I did a ST post once that was all different outfits involving my olive pants but I think I took all the pictures down. As other suggested navy and light blue, pale pink, fuschia and eggplant are all great choices. You could also use bronze or gold. I wore a top that was cream w/ gold threading with my olive pants.

I think it looks nice with a sort of blackcurrant or blackberry color too!  I also like it with sky blue or coral.

Olive is one of my favorite neutrals. Red, brown, and deep purple. Also pale yellow, if you can wear it.

I think red and olive green look really great together.

Here are some pictures of what I've paired with olive green. As you can see, I'm not very adventurous with the color. I usually pair it with tan or brown.


All of these colors look washed out in the pictures, but they different shades of olive.
