Olive green is the perfect fall neutral. It goes with everything while adding a unique character of its own. Ahead, find 15 ways to style it.

Break away from black!

From Saint Laurent’s oversized suits to Gucci’s fringe-coated coats and Fendi’s fitted blazers, olive green was splashed across runways this past fashion month. It was a particularly prominent choice for outerwear, fitting for a color most closely associated with army jackets, cargo pants, and other uniform staples. But this fall, it also found its way onto sheer lace dresses and pussy bow blouses. Once synonymous with utilitarian practicality, olive green now reads much more luxe. It’s a favorite of model Emily Ratajkowski but has also been spotted on the likes of Katie Holmes and Meghan Markle.

The neutral goes with nearly everything but brings warmth and character that can’t quite be summoned with black, white, or beige. Paired with brown or yellow, it reads as an earthy neutral. But against black, it transforms into a pop of color. And though it works for all seasons, it’s particularly fitting for transitional ones. Ahead, find 15 ways to style olive green this fall and winter.

Warm Browns

Rich, warm browns and muted olive greens make for an earthy fall color palette.

Add a Pop of Red

For a literal interpretation of olive green, add a pop of red, reminiscent of the red center of many stuffed olives. A bold red accent will pop against a green backdrop, and a red lip ties the whole thing together.

Dont' Shy Away From Prints

Mixed and matched prints shine against a neutral backdrop of olive green, navy, and white. Here, we see stripes, animal prints, and even a floral print. But the outfit doesn't look crowded thanks to the mix of muted colors.

All Black Accessories

Pair olive green with sleek black accessories for a more refined look. Here, an oversized blazer and pointed heels take a slip dress from day to night.

Other Neutrals

Olive green goes great with any neutral, but it stands out against a creamy khaki or soft white.

Chocolate Brown

Chocolate brown is everywhere this year, and olive green outfits are no exception. Just ask model Winnie Harlow, who dressed up a brown bodysuit with a pair of boots and a stunning green trench coat.

Add Animal Prints

Take it from Emrata, a neutral animal print is the perfect way to spice up an earthy green outfit.

Mix and Match Shades

No need to stick to one shade—light and brown olive greens compliment each other.

Contrast it With a Bright Pattern

Opposites attract, and this bright, bold pattern is the perfect counterpart to a muted olive green. Don't be afraid to add louder patterns to the mix.

Stripes

Olive green pairs well with nautical details, and black or navy stripes are a natural fit.

Play With Texture

A great way to spice up a (mostly) monotone outfit is by adding contrasting textures. Model Paloma Elsesser exemplifies the trick by pairing a chunky knit with a sequin skirt.

A Pop of Purple

A bright, unexpected color helps liven up an olive green fit. Less is more here—a purple sweater tied around the shoulders and a pair of pastel pumps pack a big punch.

Add Burnt Orange Accents

Something about a warm burnt orange plays beautifully off an olive green. The combination is the perfect fall jewel tone, less bold than winter's emerald greens and ruby reds but just as decadent.

Pair With Pale Yellow

Much like a bright white, pale yellow pops against olive green.

A Bold Blue

A bold blue is an unexpected addition, but a welcome one. Let it shine by keeping the rest of the outfit neutral.
