#SRCOTD: 63 Stunning Ways To Wear Olive Green

Although we’ve previously covered the color green with all its symbolism, hues, styling tips, and inspiration, in honor of Memorial Day in the United States, we are putting the Rave on Army Green, also known as olive green or khaki green. We’re also going to show you some of the best colors that go with olive green when styling an outfit.

Army green is the shade of dark yellow-green found on green olives. This shade of green comes in various tints and it has been used globally as a military color in uniforms and equipment. Its use in the military dates back to World War II and possibly earlier.

And even though this shade of green is mostly used by fighting forces and hunters, olive green is ironically regarded as an international color of peace. Little wonder the expression “extend an olive branch” symbolizes an offering of peace or reconciliation.

Furthermore, olive green characterizes wisdom, compassion, harmony, diplomacy, and self-love. In terms of fashion, this shade of green has an earthy rich appeal and matches a lot of skin colors, especially brown and black skin.

Styling tip:

Matching other colors to army green could prove challenging but that’s what we are here for. Like most solid colors, olive looks bold and powerful when rocked monotone––as it commands a high level of confidence and self-assurance. But if you really want to stand out, it’s best you pair olive with a vibrant color. Basically, the more dancing involved at your destination, the brighter the color you should pair with olive. 

Colors that go with olive green

To highlight olive green, pair it with colors such as yellow, orange, bright shades of green, gold, and tan. To keep your look classic, pair olive with shades of black, brown, and white. If you want a more fashion-forward look, consider colors such as red, shades of purple, neon, and fuschia. 

Now, let’s take a look at how celebrities and Style Ravens across the globe are stylishly wearing their olive green ensembles.

Match it up with gold!
