Olive green is a favourite of mine. I love the ease of this tone and I especially love how versatile it is – for the home or for fashion! It works as a solid or in a pattern and I love how it pairs with all neutrals but also colours!

Olive green + fashion

Typically when it comes to fashion, I am drawn to all shades of black and of course grey! But this season – I’m really loving the softer neutrals like olive. Plus olive and black are such a sophisticated combination. I also love olive paired with denim, navy blue, charcoal (any grey tone really), cream and blush pink. You can’t go wrong with a great army inspired jacket or cargo pants for a casual look but pair this hue with work wear and it’s so flattering.

My Top 9 Olive Obsessions…

Fedora – Hats are huge this fall season and I love them paired with denim, a poncho or blanket scarf! Olive is a very flattering colour for all hair colours, too!

‘Olive you’ mug – This is just cute! A sweet gift for a boyfriend, husband or child.

‘Save the date’ cards – I love the simplicity of these cards and the symbolism of the olive branch is a beautiful message.

Accent pillow – this pillow has a great linen texture and I love this colour. It is so universal – for a bedroom or living room – these add a soft texture and tone.

Slouch top – I love the gold button accent and the slouchy neckline. It’s stunning with hoops and skinny jeans. Perfect for a casual date night!

Tartan throw blanket – The fringe detail with paired with the tartan pattern gives this throw a fall feel. This is perfect for cozy fall nights on a sofa or accent chair.

Cargo pants – this is weekend wear at it’s best! I love the tone but the softness of this fabric makes these pants perfect for weekends when you don’t want jeans or leggings. Paired with a t-shirt and denim jacket with a cross body purse and some slide on sneakers or some low heel booties and a sweater – these are a classic in casual style.

Faux Olive Tree – I know not everyone is a fan of faux plants but not everyone has a green thumb or the environment to keep plants alive! There are many life-like greenery options and this is one of them! I’m a big fan of the fiddle leaf fig but this olive tree adds a softer tone to a space. My sister has one in her living room and it looks incredible!

Area rug – I love the olive option as a softer alternative to grey. Olive has that warmth that grey doesn’t always offer – it’s a great neutral and alternative to dated warm beige. This rug has a classic pattern and a mix of neutrals so it works with everything!

These are my favourite pieces in this sophisticated hue. What do you think of olive green?
