If you've got a nice semi-saturated olive, the best part is you can pair muted OR bright colors with it so your options are pretty much limitless. Looking forward to seeing you style your new shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-what-colours-go-with-olive-green#post-343463 Tue, 03 May 2011 00:27:40 +0000 yublocka 343463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 2 favourite pairings are red, purple and cobalt blue with olive green.

I happen to particularly like gray with olive, as in my Sartorialist copycat here (especially the revised version): <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-sartorialist-attempt" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....st-attempt</a>. And of course it looks screamin' fierce with denim. And black. And purple. There's a lot of olive in the WIW's from my vacation last January, here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-the-mariner-of-the-seas" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....f-the-seas</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-what-colours-go-with-olive-green#post-343239 Mon, 02 May 2011 17:39:46 +0000 Sarah 343239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!

Check out their WIW's for great visuals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-what-colours-go-with-olive-green#post-343202 Mon, 02 May 2011 17:05:13 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 343202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also a fuchsia with olive fan. I think blues work well too. I never considered red but most likely because I am cautious with red and green because they are so reminiscent of Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-what-colours-go-with-olive-green#post-343195 Mon, 02 May 2011 16:56:59 +0000 Queen Mum 343195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally like hot pink with olive green :-)<br /> Probably an acquired taste for some.... but I enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-what-colours-go-with-olive-green#post-343192 Mon, 02 May 2011 16:55:04 +0000 Patty 343192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmmmmmmmmmmm olives--do an image search for antipasto and olives Louise, great colours--I'm going for lunch !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-what-colours-go-with-olive-green#post-343179 Mon, 02 May 2011 16:42:46 +0000 Mo 343179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie obviously but I really like red with olive green. White is a no brainer, as well. As you pointed out, it's a neutral. I tend to not like gray with it, though. It looks too close, to me, and somehow off. JMHO of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-what-colours-go-with-olive-green#post-343178 Mon, 02 May 2011 16:41:51 +0000 Claudia 343178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coral, tomato red, cobalt, turquoise, magenta, purple, red violet are some of my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-what-colours-go-with-olive-green#post-343169 Mon, 02 May 2011 16:33:31 +0000 Louise 343169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As you rightly pointed out I've never worn olive green before. I'll probably treat them as any other neutral and wear any colour with my new shorts but are there any colours that go particularly well or colours that should be avoided? x </p>
