I saw this jacket in WHBM yesterday and it is more a cool gray green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836692 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 00:42:55 +0000 Anonymous 1836692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's pick of the Dre olive jeans are more cool than warm. Since they're not near my face, I can wear them although warmer colors are better for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836690 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 00:35:52 +0000 Marilyn 1836690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the cool olive camp as well.&nbsp; I got this jacket last year and I feel it works on me.&nbsp; I would say it skews sage.&nbsp; CM brought it back again this year. It looks fantastic with black, navy and soft white. </p> <p>Love the Current Elliot camo tee that <b>Texstyle</b> posted.&nbsp; </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836626 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 20:03:31 +0000 Janet 1836626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle, I love those pants in your custom find. That is my preferred olive!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836618 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 19:38:23 +0000 Anonymous 1836618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just going to say that olives come in different colors. I would definitely wear the pants and camo shirt posted by <b>texstyle</b> above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836613 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 19:34:44 +0000 texstyle 1836613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the deeper olives for the most part and the ones I pick do feel "cooler" to me but not really blue toned. These are a few I have and enjoy. <br />I have olive trees and they are definitely more of a sage green color. Cured olives are often more yellow. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836602 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 18:53:25 +0000 Anonymous 1836602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is weird for me. &nbsp;I genuinely thought "olive" was one word to describe <u>one single color</u>. &nbsp;On Janet's photo above, I consider the last shade to be closest to what I identify as olive. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836601 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 18:52:52 +0000 unfrumped 1836601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too!</p> <p>I love some shades of olive and they are " softer" than black and navy, so can be good for me now. I find it harder to do olive in work wardrobe because nird if the styles and fabrics skew casual. I have collected a few items for casual/ smart casual. Angus fix a food post on mixing it in wardrobe but I'm not as adept at combining in with my other neutrals except- black and navy! I really like it in certain prints-- foulard- types for business , and florals of course.<br /> I end up having to think" capsule" more carefully so things won't be orphaned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836598 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 18:49:37 +0000 Anonymous 1836598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, sage is probably the right word to describe a cool olive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836587 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 18:26:57 +0000 Janet 1836587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also do better in cooler olives -- actually colors that veer more into "sage" territory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836579 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 18:02:33 +0000 K. Period. 1836579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love cool toned olives too and try to snap them up whenever I can find them. &nbsp;I'll update if I find any.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836574 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 17:35:41 +0000 Anonymous 1836574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the cooler olives, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836571 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 17:34:24 +0000 Emily K 1836571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add me to the list of those preferring a cool olive! &nbsp;Hoping some will chime in with finds... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836561 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 16:45:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1836561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same here. I am choosy about my olive tones and prefer them cool. There have been a few olives in the Caslon and Halogen lines at Nordstrom over the years. Some have been really good for me, and others not; I try to stock up in the good years and sit out the warm-olive years. <br />This bag is a cool, dark olive, despite the color name ("musk brown").&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836536 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 15:43:45 +0000 kerry 1836536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't do traditional olive either. So I'm on the lookout for cooler olive tones too. These feel a little cooler toned to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836533 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 15:39:29 +0000 Anonymous 1836533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to envision a "cool" olive and coming up completely blank. &nbsp;Do you mean one that tends toward the blue side of the spectrum? &nbsp;Or something like sage? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-olives-elusive#post-1836528 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 15:35:53 +0000 minimalist 1836528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The right cool olives are magic on me; I once had a suit ensemble (with skirt and trousers) custom made of the perfect olive superwool. But I long ago gave up looking for OTR clothing in olive. Most olives I come across are warm-toned, which makes me look like death no-one bothered to prop up.</p> <p>If olives are "in" this season, perhaps the chances of finding cool ones are better? </p> <p>If you come across any long-lasting garments in cool olive, I would be very grateful for suggestions! </p>
