I think red shoes/accessories work great too. Ivory, leopard print blush, navy are all good options too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I attached some pins for inspiration. I'm not sure of your style but maybe these will help. In the first pin, you could swap out the black leather for something softer - maybe burgundy? If you have lighter skin/blonde hair burgundy could be a good shade for you.</p> <p>Good luck and would love to see some photos of what you choose! I am on the hunt for some olive pants myself this season </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-1564596 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 09:45:58 +0000 ananthimathur 1564596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are into light colors, Olive green is awesome to pair it up with pretty much any bright colors. Try reds, oranges and blues! I personally wear mostly blue with, my olive green trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-1564582 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 09:16:27 +0000 plonkee 1564582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Teal would be nice, and brown (all shades). Coral, or aqua might also work well along with the other suggestions you've had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-1564578 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 08:53:25 +0000 Kamya 1564578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I once tried on a chambray shirt on with olive green pants.I think this combo does look nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30903 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 21:32:51 +0000 Anonymous 30903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit.

Thanks for the inspiration. </p> <p>I am wearing the pants today with a medium-pink 3/4-sleeve sweater (the pink is bluish, not orange-ish), and I had a casual striped scarf that has both olive and the pink in it, plus cobalt blue stripes and a few other colors to make it interesting. My pants have a whole new lease on life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30840 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 06:38:50 +0000 yublocka 30840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favourite pair of pants is olive green. I like pairing them with purple (seems to be the winner here so far), cerulean blue, dark brown, brighter green layers, red, a tangeriney colour.......in other words pretty much anything bright!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30804 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:19:39 +0000 Ana 30804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the key to the "rosy" pink/olive green is variation of shades of the same color. You really need a very vibrant pink to go along with the light pink, to give it some punch. You could even add red accents if you wanted. I think these shoes sort of convey what I'm talking about, maybe you can use them for inspiration (that's easiest for me when I'm trying to figure out how to combine colors):</p> <p><a href="http://zeta.zappos.com/product/7437518/color/160333" rel="nofollow">http://zeta.zappos.com/product.....lor/160333</a></p> <p>If I had $300, these shoes would be mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30800 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:13:32 +0000 Laura 30800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, when you describe the color combo that way (rose-like), it sounds so pretty - I might have to see if I can find pieces to pull it off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30799 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:10:45 +0000 Ana 30799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love red, cream, and citron with olive green. Also, a really bright fuschia pink is nice, especially when it's mixed with a lighter pink--it kind of reminds me of roses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30773 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 19:12:44 +0000 Anonymous 30773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had pants this color before losing weight. My very favorite color with them was a heathery aqua blue that was shown everywhere a year or so ago. Heathery or greyed colors should blend well. This color a bit darker is what I mean:</p> <p><a href="http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?page=classic-cashmere-sweater&#038;categoryId=56652&#038;storeId=1&#038;catalogId=1&#038;langId=-1&#038;parentCategory=503664&#038;cat4=503658&#038;shop_method=pp&#038;feat=503664-tn&#038;np=Y" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/webapp/w.....&#038;np=Y</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30765 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 18:01:50 +0000 Laura 30765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, maybe I can try purples or pinks. Yellows and oranges are not my friends, but I could completely see them working with olive green on someone with a different skin tone than mine. </p> <p>I never even thought of blue-grey, Tanya. That's a fab suggestion. </p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30757 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:39:57 +0000 cas74 30757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of olive walking shorts, and I love the look of a purple top with them. I also wear them with a bright yellow top and white cami underneath. I like them with very deep, saturated pinks too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30755 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:22:44 +0000 Tanya 30755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive is a very versatile color, pseudo-neutral as S&#38;C would say, so pretty much everything goes with it. I especially like purples, deep pinks, and blue-greys with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30753 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:18:27 +0000 Kristen 30753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of olive shorts that I've been wearing all summer, and much to my surprise, oranges and purples look terrific with them! I have the same coloring as you, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30747 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:54:07 +0000 Dani 30747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think navy, cream or white, purple and various shades of red (or even pink?) should work with olive pants. Yellow can work as well...do you wear yellow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-colors-to-wear-with-dark-olive-green-pants#post-30745 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:49:49 +0000 Laura 30745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am trying to find tops for orphan BR casual pants from a couple of seasons ago - they are fab skinny leg dark olive pants with back flap pockets. Sort of a streamlined cargo style, I guess.</p> <p>I've only ever worn black tops with them. Boring! I have medium blonde hair and blue-grey eyes and the color combo is just too harsh for my coloring. Does anyone have suggestions of more colors I could wear with the pants? </p>
