If there is anything that New York and London Fashion Week runways have shown us, it’s that olive green will undoubtedly be the color of the spring this year.

The new season’s color palette is ready to incorporate dopamine into our everyday clothing with the return of spring. At the Burberry Winter 2025 show in London Fashion Week, celebrities wore chic olive green coats while mossy greens wore mini-dresses and statement-pieces to the Gucci runway. confirming that the new neutral to get rid of the winter blues is olive green.

Because it is so simple, olive green makes a fantastic choice for brightening a monochromatic outfit. It’s simple to style with your staples and isn’t too overpowering. Additionally, it is a great trans-seasonal color, which means you’re investing in versatile clothing that stays relevant for all seasons and trends.

Consider incorporating the leafy green color into your wardrobe if you’re not yet ready to embrace it completely. Any outfit would look great with an olive green silk scarf. For a classic look, tie it to a crossbody bag or wrap it around your neck with your favorite crew neck knit for a stylish finish.

Both celebrities and influencers have already started to fall in love with the trend. While Karlie Kloss, a model and entrepreneur, has a long-standing fan of spring’s khaki green utility jackets.

Kitty Joseph, a British designer, tells the Mirror, “Olive green is always my starting color and recurring theme in my palettes.” It’s not surprising that we gravitate toward olive green especially because it’s one of my favorite colors to work with and dress in. It returns in cycles in both fashion and nature. One of our bestselling Mineral Skirt’s bright colors is it.

A cheerful color pop can be obtained by pairing an olive suit with fuschia heels or a bag. With our Mineral skirt and top, layer up earthy tones of sand, cream, and gold accessories to create a calming, sophisticated, and casual look. Or mix it in a subtle way.
