This is for you if you like to pair green with black, white, cream, grey, and blue denim. Olives come in many shades, tints and tones. Some olives are more brown and green, and other are more sage, grey and yellow. Some khakis are really a shade of olive.
There are countless ways to combine olive with black to create a fab look. The collection below shows a good assortment of outfits that span a range of Spring weather situations.
Here are four very easy ways to combine olive with black in casual and smart casual ways. These looks are about pants and jeans, but feel free to swap them out for skirts.
1. Utility Moto
This is the most basic rendition of the four, and compiled with what might be wardrobe essentials for your style. Combine a pair of olive utility pants with a white top. Throw a black moto, aviator, or bomber jacket over the top. Complete the look with white sneakers to pick up the white of the top.
2. Hard Edge
This version makes use of a lot of black, and accents with forest green. Simply Imagine the forest green components are olive, and you’re sorted. Or use forest green instead of olive. Combine an olive graphic tee with black faux leather pants. Finish off the look with a black blazer and black mules. An olive or white bag is a nice addition. The texture of the black blazer and leather pants works well together and adds depth to the outfit.
3. Modern Classic
I love how well this palette works with the ash blonde and green eyes of the model. Combine a pair of blue jeans with a black top and black boots or loafers. Throw over an olive topper like a denim jacket, bomber or utility jacket. An olive blazer, lightweight puffer, or trench coat is fab too. Complete the look with a black crossbody bag or backpack.
4. On-Trend Pretty
And last, my favourite of the four because of the pretty and trendy puff-sleeve cream jacket with wide pleated pants. Elegant. Combine a pair of olive wide cropped pants with a black top. Top things off with a white or cream jacket like a blazer. Personally, I prefer shorter jackets with wider pants and skirts, but you might prefer regular length jackets. Finish off the look with black or brown Spring footwear. Add jewellery, watch and eyewear as desired.
