What Colors Go Best With Olive for the Most Beautiful Outfits?
Black or white go with anything so they pair easily with olive green, a versatile color in its own right. And it’s a no-brainer to wear an olive top or jacket with blue jeans, since they go with everything too! But do you know off the top of your head what colors go best with olive to make the most beautiful outfits? Age doesn’t matter when you use color to your advantage.
As part of their Autumn/Winter 2021-22 color trend report, the Pantone Institute listed olive as a classic color.
If you have warm undertones in your hair, skin and eyes, gold or bronze accessories would look best on you. If you have cool undertones, silver should go nicely as accessories with olive clothes since gray goes well with olive. But since olive is a warm color, if you have cool tones it’s best to keep olive away from your face and use it in pants or skirts or accessories such as shoes or bags.
Take a look below and see what color pairings I’ve come up with. If you have even more colors that you like to pair with olive, I’d love to hear from you! Please leave your reply below this post.
A basically beautiful way to use olive is to combine it with a cream plaid shirt, a cream cardigan and ivory pants.
