When you think of neutrals, the first shades that come to mind are probably black, beige, camel, and maybe brown. But I think there are colors to add to that list that are just as wardrobe staples as the aforementioned colors, albeit a little less obvious. It’s olive green. Olive is a rich-looking shade of green that is much duller than kelly green, but not as dark or cool as forest green.
If an item comes in olive green, you’ll most likely order that color. It looks chic with other neutral shades as well as more vibrant hues. From pants to sweaters to shoes and bags, we’re seeing more and more olive green, and brands are finally waking up to its appeal. (Speaking of bags, an olive green handbag is a very wise investment.)
If you’re convinced, keep scrolling to shop my favorite rich-looking olive green pieces on the market right now. How often do you feel like thanking me?
