I gave it away bc I could never think of what to pair with it.... Too bad I didn't think of purple!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green/page/2#post-1487950 Thu, 07 May 2015 01:17:05 +0000 Olivegreen 1487950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a business travel wardrobe capsule using olive, chocolate brown, and mid to deep purple for all tops and bottoms. Variations of green and purple for tops. Heaps of bright jewelry and some very feminine floral scarves with pink and purples and some white for the face.<br /> Not a trace of black back then.<br /> It was a little different, even if everything stayed in classic territory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green/page/2#post-1487817 Wed, 06 May 2015 21:22:50 +0000 Tanya 1487817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How funny to see a 4-year old thread resurrected!&nbsp; Thank you for the input ladies, all great ideas :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green/page/2#post-1487816 Wed, 06 May 2015 21:21:24 +0000 tulle 1487816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For my brunette friends, I LOVE deep blue-violet with rich olive and bottle greens--the combination makes me think of irises.&nbsp; For me, it's dusty olive green with pale pinks and lilacs, which reminds me of moss roses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green/page/2#post-1487811 Wed, 06 May 2015 21:15:50 +0000 Sal 1487811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red (and white stripes), mid-purple (in the past, I loved this combo), the right pink and then the neutrals (cream, denim and black).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green/page/2#post-1487797 Wed, 06 May 2015 20:47:19 +0000 Carole 1487797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Found this visual from Inside out Style.....love teal with olive, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-1487793 Wed, 06 May 2015 20:44:53 +0000 Carole 1487793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love olive with: yellow(citron), blush and smokey shades of pink, deep burgundy, orange, tomatoe red, coral, black and navy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-1487716 Wed, 06 May 2015 18:07:51 +0000 retailgirl 1487716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think olive is a neutral and goes with anything.

It looked fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196928 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:37:36 +0000 Elizabeth 196928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to wear shades of pink, aqua, and orange. Olive is one of my favorite neutrals and honestly, there probably aren't many colors that wouldn't go with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196802 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 14:42:42 +0000 Tanya 196802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for your responses, it has been very helpful! I can certainly see all the possibilities now and I hope it has helped others as well. The only reason I said no neutrals was that I could see olive working pretty well with any neutral, but those responses were great too.</p> <p>Laura, you have great memory! I remember that post too! ( now I feel nostalgic for our first YLF year). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196775 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 11:52:17 +0000 Kristen 196775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My contrast favorites with olive green are:<br /> -deep purple<br /> -mustard yellow<br /> -bright red<br /> -black<br /> -orange </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196773 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 11:38:27 +0000 Laura 196773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear shades of pink or purple - like Tanya - in fact my first post ever here involved what to wear with my olive skinny cargos from BR (I got them YEARS ago) and that's what Tanya told me to wear with them so that's what I did :)</p> <p>But I have also worn a shade of lime green with an olive sweater coat and it looked fab, in an edgy way. Like San, I like chestnut brown with olive, and taupe as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196749 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 06:34:49 +0000 Lena 196749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm fascinated reading this thread and I'm taking mental notes. I gave up on olive green a while ago, and maybe now is the time to try again? I like it with cream or some shade of red or orange. But you said no neutrals. Hmm. Some kind of green shade? Citron sounds super intriguing actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196696 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 03:58:16 +0000 Lisa 196696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had no clue what to answer. I would have said earthly colors and I certainly never would have thought of purple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196646 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 02:46:21 +0000 shana 196646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of silky olive green cargo clamdiggers and I have been wearing them with purple, fuschia and black tops. Mostly black, I admit - I know, very adventurous of me. And now that I have those blowfish sandals, I see more black tops being worn with these particular pants! Tanya, thanks for starting this thread - it's helping me expand my horizons - at least theoretically:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196601 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 01:20:13 +0000 taylor 196601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wear pure crisp white, or black...surprise.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196559 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 00:16:53 +0000 PalmFronds 196559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love Tangerine and cream shades with olive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196557 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 00:13:24 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 196557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, LOVE fuschia with olive green - one of my all time fave combos.</p> <p>Angie - would love to try citron with olive green...but I don't know if I could wear citron?

I love dark blue with olive green. It's a pretty combination.</p> <p>I tried purple with the NAS seamed Halogen skirt in bronze olive, but it seemed to emphasize the gold in the skirt and gold and purple make me think of my college colors. :O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-colors-to-wear-with-olive-green#post-196431 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 20:23:59 +0000 Mac 196431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy blue! </p>
