Today we will talk about a more special shade of green, namely olive green. The color is the same as that of green olives and quite logically its name comes from there. This color is extremely stylish and interesting, so let's talk about it.
Although the color green is associated with spring and summer, olive green is exactly the opposite. Due to the specificity of the shade, it is a symbol of the past summer and the arrival of autumn, so it is more appropriate to wear it then. However, it is quite logical that this part of the year is colder, so we cannot wear only an olive green dress, for example, without other clothes, so let's combine this dress together today. Before that, however, we have more things to discuss.
What are the popular models this year. Although fashion designers are responsible for creating a product, celebrities are the ones who popularize and make clothes relevant and fashionable. You can look at the models of Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors, who fell in love with the olive green color and added it as an accent to their fashion shows.
Olive green dress with long sleeves. Adele uses a "strong trump card" by appearing with this brilliant and stylish dark olive green dress. As you can see for yourself, the design and color are just perfect for her figure. It emphasizes the neckline and hides the extra pounds with the size of the dress "plus size". Long sleeves are extremely suitable here, because in this way the flaws on the arms are hidden.
Olive green sleeveless dress. Eva Longoria, for her part, is a fan of sleeveless dresses. Her body structure suits this model perfectly. The material of the dress is sequins, which give a soft golden glow to the olive green. Gorgeous! Jessica Chastain and Julianne Moore are also fans of olive green dresses, so you can often see them dressed like this. However, the common thing between the two is the red hair color, and we all know that green turns any redheaded beauty into a goddess. (Just to add that if you have a more formal event coming up, you can also consider the models with one long sleeve. They are extremely interesting and stylish and add a touch of mystery to your personality.)
What length should we choose? You will probably be impressed that if you type olive green dress on the Internet you will see thousands of images of different models, but you will probably be impressed that over 90% are all long models. This is because this shade is created for autumn looks. Of course, you may also come across a midi-length dress.
What fabric to choose? There is no right answer here, but you can look at satin models. Satin dresses in olive green are airy and suitable for many occasions. For example, if you are a bridesmaid at your best friend's wedding, it would be a great option to choose such a dress. What if there is more than one bridesmaid? Don't worry, because this muted shade of green would suit any skin type and you can be sure that all the bridesmaids will look beautiful. Of course, the fabric is very important here, because each has its own unique physical properties and olive green would look different in different fabrics.
What colors should we combine such clothes with? An olive green dress has a feature that makes the other colors in the outfit look visually more saturated, which in turn can give "depth" to olive green. So if you decide to combine this color with others, you should be aware of this. For such a dress, choose a coat or vest in a neutral color. Black or white would be good friends with olive green. With a long gray coat, you would create not just a great look but real art. An interesting combination would be between an olive green dress and clothes in peach or lilac.
What shoes are suitable? An olive green dress would look equally good with heels and sports shoes, so it all depends on your mood. If you are invited to a formal event, it is best to combine your dress with beige or dark green heels. You can also choose white classic heels or high-heeled sandals. Gray and black models are also acceptable. When building a casual look with an olive green dress, the rules are almost the same. Choose white sneakers. For greater airiness and tenderness, you can choose gray or green sandals with a low sole. To completely complete the look, we just need to add makeup and accessories.
What lipstick to wear with an olive green dress? We will not talk about nude lipsticks, because any one would do the trick. A lipstick in the brown range will definitely suit an olive green dress. It will give completeness and harmony to the dress. If you want to add contrast, then choose pink or red lipstick. Red is a complementary color to olive green, which means only one thing - a successful combination. Pink lipstick, in turn, is a derivative of red and would also be a suitable option for a green dress. Be careful with the saturation of the colors and take into account your skin tone. The combination with an olive green dress and purple lipstick would also be interesting. We have one last detail to clarify.
What jewelry goes with an olive green dress? No look is complete without adding jewelry. When it comes to olive green, you should know that gold is the best choice. A thin gold chain and minimalist earrings will demonstrate your femininity and good taste. You can also use jewelry made of some semi-precious stones in the green range. Aventurine, Turquoise, Emerald and Malachite are just some of the stones that will make your look perfect. Your olive green dress will also look great with mixed jewelry made of gold and semi-precious stones.
What nails to choose? Nails are not just a detail but an important part of the overall look. Choose an olive green manicure or purple. Black or white nails would also be a good choice when wearing olive green clothes.
