If there is one colour that perfectly sums up the relaxed elegance of autumn/winter 2025, it is olive green. Sophisticated, versatile and trendy yet timeless, this shade has become the new neutral of the season. Forget the classic but predictable shades of black or beige, olive green strikes that perfect balance between being low-key and making a statement that makes it irresistible.

Long wool coats, knitwear, leather-effect garments: olive green looks great in any form. Moreover, its ability to adapt to different styles – utilitarian, minimalist or even sophisticated – makes it a safe bet for day-to-day, office or weekend looks.

So, if you were thinking of incorporating it into your closet, here are five very stylish ways to wear olive green, which confirm that this shade is the new must-have for autumn.

Coats: the smartest investment

This season, the olive green coat has snuck in as the new wardrobe staple. Its neutral tone makes it the perfect garment to pair with other muted but stylish colours: burgundy, beige, off-white, black… This will achieve a sober but elegant result that transcends trends.

Leather (or leather-effect) garments: a modern touch

Olive green leather transforms any outfit into a high-impact look. Leather jackets are the obvious choice, and for good reason. But an olive leather skirt is a strong piece that will add personality. Combined with a shirt or cashmere sweater, these pieces strike a balance between modernity and sophistication.

Dresses: a low-key style statement

Unsure of what to wear for your upcoming festive season parties? Fear not, an olive green dress will save the day. The colour is rich but not loud, ensuring you look great without risking being overdressed. It’s also a shade of green, which technically makes it appropriate for a Christmas colour palette, just more chic. Combine them with long boots, ballerina flats and everything in between.

Accessories: small details with big impact

If you prefer a subtle nod to the trend, olive green accessories are the perfect choice. Chunky scarves, balaclavas, mittens, bags and knit caps in this shade will add some fun without overpowering the look.

The whole look: a chic new uniform

If you really want to commit, go for an olive green ensemble. You can find co-ords to suit your mood, from suits to skirt and jacket sets. Why not play with textures, too? Satin, wool, leather, corduroy… It will bring visual depth while retaining that minimal feel.
