I’m not sure if my love for olive is because some of my coworkers call me Olive, as the actual Latin meaning of my name is “olive tree” or because of my many vivid childhood memories of sticking olives on the tips of my fingers. One thing I am sure of however is that olive green is one of my favorite colors to wear and I am definitely feeling it for this fall, or any time of year for that matter.
I’m a firm believer in wearing what you feel comfortable and confident in which is what olive green does for me, and as Margherita Missoni once said, “If you wear things you adore, you just look better.” I’m going to take that saying to the grave with me because no one’s opinion of you matters more than your own and when you dress nice, you feel nice.
Recently over the summer I purchased the olive green pants that can be seen above from Forever21 and I instantly fell in love with them. Worried at first that I wouldn’t have anywhere to wear them, my fears quickly disappeared when I discovered that they are hands down one of the comfiest pairs of pants I own and they are super easy to mix and match with almost any item of clothing to fit any style. From earthy, neutral tones to flashy gold statement jewelry, there isn’t anything olive green doesn’t pair nice with.
Another great thing about olive green is that no matter what skin tone, hair color or eye color you have you will always be looking your best because it is a universal color with so many different shades and hues that nearly anyone can pull off. Personally, I love olive green because it helps to make my green eyes POP and my fair skin glow!
Olive green is a perfect color for the fall because while we are being surrounded by color changing leaves and dying grass, we start to lose some of the green in nature that many people including myself love. Warm browns, oranges and reds are going to be taking over parts of our earth again in a few short weeks, and while it will be a beautiful sight like always, we can’t soon forget about the lovely green that’s leaving. So go out to your favorite store, grab something olive, work that piece and give a little green back into fashion this fall.
