Olive Green: How to Wear the Colour of Autumn

Wardrobe change time. The lightness of summer is over and the time has come to embrace new weights and new palettes to face the arrival of autumn. To the question which colours are in fashion this autumn-winter we answer with extreme certainty only one: olive green . A shade that collects the essence of the cold season directly from the undergrowth. The green of autumn 2024, unlike the brat green of summer, radiates with earthy vibrations because it comes from the undergrowth and warmer undertones. To facilitate the leap forward we have selected four key pieces of the winter wardrobe to find and choose for the next looks, from sweaters, to coats, from boots to dresses, strictly long. Last but not least a fantastic Jennifer Lopez in a total Burberry look, coincidentally in olive green. V-neck sweater in cashmere and long skirt with maxi slit. Boots. 100% green olive.

If we had to indicate which is the cult piece of the winter season 2024-25 we would certainly point the finger at them: the over-the-knee boots, in patent leather or leather, certainly in olive green. We know that boots are a workhorse of the cold season but with these characteristics they have been proposed by top designers such as Ferragamo, Fendi, Gucci and Ferretti, and many will copy them to (re)propose them in their shop windows. Maximilian Davis for Ferragamo has found the ideal solution. A pair of very shiny and very high cuissardes suitable for interpreting the key look of the season. To be worn with a mini dress, perhaps in knit, for a leggings effect - surprising continuation.

When it comes to minimalism, Sabato di Sarno x Gucci is the first name on the list. In addition to having proposed a colour palette for autumn winter 2024 that revolves around key nuances such as olive-undergrowth green, mustard and burgundy Ancora , we also selected it for how it declined the trend colour of the season in a mix to copy like at school from the classmate. The combination of a single colour associated with two different weights such as lace and wool, gives a light/heavy heterogeneous effect that is very beautiful to look at.

The perfect synthesis of the colour trend for autumn 2024 : the long green dress (also sleeveless) by Fendi. So essential it dresses and completes the silhouette. The plus of the runway outfit? A certain asymmetry is given by a single sleeve, perhaps in a light jersey or perhaps a glove, to show off as a chromatic counterpoint of great effect.

Autumn calls for heavy jackets and coats , better if oversized and enveloping. But how to style them according to the green colour trend of the autumn winter 2024-25 season ? Easy, taking inspiration from this look by Alberta Ferretti where the XL coat has an equally generous scarf collar with an almost shawl effect. The long green coat, if combined with a maxi scarf and worn over one of the many olive green sweaters in a chunky stitch, gives off exactly that volumetric and homogeneous effect that will be most popular during the coldest months.

How to match the trendy green colour for autumn 2024? Let's start with four streetstyle looks spotted during Fashion Month. From Veronica Ferraro in olive green with an oversized sweater over a long skirt, we move on to the cuissardes boots in combo with a flesh-coloured mini dress in very warm wool. And if the long green dress also tones the shoes, it is then combined with an oversized blazer in dark brown in a perfect undergrowth palette. Finally Jessica Wang, who shows boldness thanks to the floral top in suede by Bottega Veneta in forest green combined with a pair of melange jeans.
