    Olive green seems to be a pretty popular color right now, thanks in part to the military-inspired trend that’s being seen everywhere these days.  Olive green is a bold, sophisticated and fun color to wear especially during fall, but many women stray away from this color because they’re not always sure how to style this rich hue.  Well, if you have olive pieces in your closet, and aren’t always sure just what to pair them with, have no fear, today’s post will hopefully help.

    For this look, I wore my J.O.A. Faux Leather Midi Skirt with my Express Metallic Camo Crew Neck Sweater, and added my Loft Double Breasted Trench.  I added my BR Preslie Caged Sandals, my Kate Spade Saturday Envelope Clutch, and my Kate Spade Gala Sleek Wayfarer sunglasses.  Now, although I went all out olive, with a touch of cream (trench coat) in this look, there are many other ways to style your olive pieces.  If you ever find yourself stuck in a style rut with olive green, in today’s “Style Guide”, I’m sharing 3 popular olive color combinations to try.

    Style Guide:  3 Popular Olive Color Combinations To Try

    Try Olive With Pink:  Both of these colors are this season’s hottest colors, and combining them in one look will make the perfect outfit for fall.  The pink in this color combination softens the boldness of olive green, and adds a little chicness to this unexpected pairing.

    Pair Olive With Coral:  This time of year, we are all seeing shades of coral in everything from clothing to outdoor and indoor home decor.  Pairing coral with olive will not only add a pop of color to your outfit, but it will also give your look a very modern and fashion forward feel.

    Try Olive With Off White:  For those of you who like to sport more neutral hues, olive with off white is perfect for you.  This color combination is not only clean and classic, but accessorizing these perfectly paired colors can be simple and easy.

    I hope these olive color combination suggestions will encourage you to try some new olive color pairings, and help you style your olive pieces with ease.
