If you enjoy wearing black and olive in mild, warm. and hot weather, here are simpler looks that are easy to put together. You’ll find toppers layered over some of the looks, which provides great insulation when the air-conditioning is too cold. They also work when it’s cooler in the morning and evening, or when you’re by the coast.
1. Column of Black plus Olive Topper
A graphic black tee is combined with a black, A-line, front-slit midaxi skirt to create a column of black. The tee is semi-tucked to showcase some waist, but you can leave it untucked if it’s not too long. An olive shacket with scrunched sleeves tops the pairing. Black slides are the casual and breezy finishing touch. Add a bag to match.
2. Olive and Black and White Separates
Here, olive separates are combined with a black and white support act. The outfit on the left pairs casual wide leg olive utility pants with a fluid black knitted top. It’s semi-tucked to showcase the belt detail on the waist. The outfit on the right pairs black wide leg pants with a white tee. A slim, lightweight, very long olive cardigan is worn over the lot and creates a dramatic effect. Black sandals and bag complete the outfits.
3. Black Skirt and Olive Tank
A casual black flared and tiered midi skirt is combined with a body con olive tank top. It’s tucked into the skirt to showcase the waist. An earthy cinnamon belt accentuates the waist and adds a high-contrast touch, as well as another colour. Dressy high heeled tan sandals were chosen as the shoes, although I’d have preferred to see casual flat or low heeled sandals instead. Or ballet flats, espadrilles, or western boots. Add a bag to match.
4. Column of White Plus Olive Vest
This rendition incorporates a subtle bit of black through the trim of the boots. The rich brown hair of the model provides a dark touch too. For the rest, a column of white is created by pairing cropped relaxed white jeans with a matching tee. An olive vest tops the column. Whiskey boots introduce a third colour. Their dark trim bookends the model’s dark hair. I’d have added a black or cinnamon belt so that the outfit looks more finished when the vest is removed, and a bag to match. Add jewellery, watch, and eyewear as desired.
