30 Ways To Wear Olive Jeans
I bought these olive jeans back in 2018. I'd admired them on the Jeanswest website but they were sold out so I was pleased to find them when I visited the store, on sale and in the right size. I bought the next size up as advised on the website as they were a tight fit, but with a lot of stretch in them I maybe should have stuck with my normal size as they have stretched out a bit over the years. It does make them very comfortable to wear though, and thankfully they still stay up without a belt!
Cost Per Wear
Cost per wear is tricky to calculate for these as I didn't note down in 2018 what the prices were of everything I bought. I know they were on sale and had an extra 40% off but I can't remember what I paid, or even if I used a gift card on them. With there being very similar jeans at Jeanswest currently, also for 40% off sale, at $29.99 I'm thinking I spent around that on these jeans. That would work out to just under $1 per wear as I've worn them 31 times since I got them 4 years ago, but that's just a guess as I can't recall what I paid. Definitely worth whatever I paid for them, even if they are stretching out a bit, as I love wearing these!
Here are my 30 favourite ways I've worn them, and some colour combinations you should try if you have a similar pair of jeans or pants in your wardrobe!
Olive Jeans With Black
This is an easy go-to when you're not sure how to wear something - pair it with black! A good black tee goes with everything, and I like black bags and dusters and printed scarves with these olive jeans too. The two neutrals work well together.
Olive Skinny Jeans With Blue
Blue and green is a combo that I used to think "shouldn't be seen" but that old fashion rule is made to be broken, I love blue and green together. These olive jeans are worn a lot with navy, but other shades of blue, like that cobalt scarf, can be a good combination too.
Olive Jeans and Shades of Brown
More neutral on neutral pairings! Brown jackets, scarves, bags, printed tanks and kimonos (despite all being different shades of brown) look good with olive. I do think that the beige trench is my favourite shade of brown to wear with these olive jeans though, and it's a nice cosy option in autumn and winter.
Graphic Tees and Olive Skinny Jeans
Jeans and a tee is a style staple for everyone! Changing things up a little with a graphic tee instead of a plain tee, and some colourful jeans like these olive ones instead of a classic pair of blue jeans, is a nice way to make a staple outfit formula feel a little different. You can see this white Edinburgh tee I picked up in Primark in Edinburgh is a firm favourite.
Olive Skinny Jeans Worn With Other Shades Of Green
In my quest to find more things that go with olive, I've tried wearing different shades of green with these olive jeans. Accessories like necklaces and scarves, even little green bags, and of course a bit bolder with the green floral duster. I like the brighter emerald green against the more muted olive denim.
Olive Skinny Jeans and Knits Winter Outfits
Colder days in autumn and winter are perfect jeans wearing weather here in Brisbane! It's so easy to just add a cosy knit on top of a pair of jeans and sneakers, and maybe a scarf too if it's really cold. The olive colour is a very versatile neutral to wear that goes with all the knits in my wardrobe, and the moss green shade helps add just a little colour to winter outfits.
Olive Skinny Jeans and Orange Outfits
Orange and green is a very bold combination! I tried it out in small doses with the little peach Rebecca Minkoff small Love crossbody bag first. When I figured out I loved the colours together, as you can see in the middle outfit there, I went a bit bolder with a bright neon orange printed tee. Definitely my favourite of those 3 outfits.
Wearing Yellow With Olive Skinny Jeans
With the muted neutral shade of the olive jeans, I found that just as I did above with the orange, I liked bold pops of colour with them. Yellow, particularly mustard yellow, looks so good worn with olive! Although I did try a more pastel yellow tee once, as you can see in 4 of these 5 outfits mustard became a real go-to for me with these jeans.

ReplyDeleteyes they are really versatile!
DeleteI always forget how olive really works with every color, it's so versatile and such a nice alternative to blue and black. You did a great job with these!
ReplyDeletexo,

It's definitely the most wearable shade of green I think!
DeleteI'm loving all of these great ideas! Thanks for putting this together and sharing your wonderful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou are making me regret my decision, I just donated mine this spring. LOL! They truly are such a versatile color to style and play with as you've demonstrated here. Have a great weekend.

Oh such a shame you donated them - I'm sure someone will love thrifting them!
DeleteI don't really wear olive or other green colors much, just khaki sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of green but I find this shade easiest to wear!
Deleteolive is such a lovely color! definitely not boring and goes easy with so many outfits! absolutely LOVELY! no wonder you remixed it so much!
ReplyDeleteYou have me want to wear my olive pants more. So many cute outfit with them.

My favourite matches are the bold yellow and the bright cobalt blue, followed by the other tones of brown. I am surprised you've never done red or magenta or even pink with them! That's your challenge from me for the next 30 wears! (Although, in my book, it's time for an Upgrade - better quality, a better fit, better fabric - it's obviously worth it for olive trousers!).
ReplyDeleteDefinitely - I keep my eyes peeled for any colourful denim at the opshops just in case I stumble across the perfect pair! I do like neon pink and olive together, just haven't tried it with these jeans surprisingly! They definitely still have a lot of outfits left in them!
DeleteIt's amazing how versatile those olive skinny jeans are. I particularly love them combined with navy blue, even I would never have thought to combine those colours! Well done on this and reaching 30 wears too! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love blue and green together :)
DeleteThey are such a lovely colour!

It's good when you find a piece that goes with everything.
ReplyDeleteOlive + cobalt is a smashing combination I need to play with more. I have not experimented with olive + bright green, but I do like it here!
ReplyDeleteit was something I'm glad I tried too I think it works well!
DeleteMe encantan como se ven con el azul y el beige, saludos:D
ReplyDeleteThese jeans are so freaking fabulous. You make me want a pair for myself! I love all of the different ways you've styled them as well. I hope you have a fantastic weekend <3
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
I always think that olive green is a fabulous neutral because it goes with almost everything (as you've shown so well).

Of my college roommates, one adamantly did not like green, and especially did not like green and blue together (she recited that they “shouldn’t be seen” on more than one occasion!), and the other roommate paired blue and green all the time! So funny, I feel like you’ve channeled them both here! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to follow that rule too but I've realised I love the two together! Given that I have so much blue in my wardrobe it's helped me integrate more green into my outfits!
DeleteI don't have olive jeans but they're definitely a colour that I'd wear. I love how versatile you've shown them to be x
ReplyDeleteBeautylymin
I don't have any olive jeans but I love how versatile you've shown them to be, so I think I'll get some x

So many great, fun looks! You are able to show that olive can be worn with any color. Kind of like the new black! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really versatile neutral!
DeleteCongrats on such combinations of jeans with yellow and blu!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of this Sunday and its sunny weather :-)
I love all those looks--they really go with so many different colors and styles! I used to have a pair of olive jeans but I got rid of them--they didn't fit quite right--and now I'm thinking I need to get another pair when it gets cooler here!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to find a pair that fit a bit better than these - it's something I regularly look for in opshops!
DeleteThat is some amazing versatility. Olive green is such a great neutral color that goes well with so many colors. I don't own olive jeans but I do own a pair of olive pants that I wear on repeat similarly.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great neutral shade for pants!
DeleteI really love the olive skinnies with the blue! I haven't tried that combo with my pair. You are so adventurous and have really gotten your use out of this pair of skinnies!!

Olive is such an earthy neutral. I love how you styled the pants in various outfit combinations. I'm especially partial to the ones with shades of brown and also, when you wear it with yellow. So eye-catching. You look great in each look. I have a pair of pants in this color too and I'm tempted to style them up in a look as for some reason I haven't done so. Hope you're well and are having a fun weekend. It's hot and humid here where I am. Hoping for some cooling breeze to round it all up ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteHope you can get inspired to wear your pants with some of these colours!
DeleteGreat entry :) It's a very nice color of pants, it can be combined in many ways!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Poland!
The food was really great =) You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteYes my weekend was nice. I enjoyed the colder weather after hot days on Menorca & Mallorca :D

I like olive too but I don't have a jeans in this colour, maybe I have to change this :D
These are such beautiful and versatile outfits! I love the color olive and I’m excited to get myself a pair after seeing your lovely outfits! I love that you can wear them with a pop of color and it still looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing! I hope you have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI think you will be able to create so many more outfits out of them - it's a very versatile colour!
DeleteAll of your outfits are perfect, Mica!
ReplyDeleteParticularly, Olive and mustard yellow is a great combination!!
I also love your great idea that you tried the first combination in a small doses!
