30 Ways To Wear: Olive Skinny Jeans

For this month's 30 ways to wear post, I'm sharing 30 ways I've worn these olive skinny jeans. Green is a colour I used to avoid and find tricky to wear. After giving it a try, I've since realised olive is so easy for me to style, and a great neutral. You will see that these jeans go with everything, it's no surprise I've worn them over 30 times!


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.

  8. 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!).

    1. Definitely - 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!

  18. 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! :)

We don't need to spend a lot of money to have different looks :) I adore all the proposals since all of them have something special and I totally agree that a pair of nice skinny jeans in a statement color can have a lot of options!

  29. 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
