Olive Green is the New Cherry Red
Immerse yourself into the new season with olive green- a standout neutral.
Winter is approaching, and with the changing temperatures means, as always, the shifting of trends. But amid the array of new fashion, beauty, and hair trends, the notable standout from fashion month was the prominence of the olive green color trend.
Whether you immerse yourself in the whirlwind of fashion week updates or prefer to casually observe, one thing was unmistakable: cherry red was the color that dominated the Spring/Summer 2024 runways. You've seen it on celebrities, It girls, and all over your socials. Who could miss the unforgettable cherry red iteration of Gucci’s iconic Jackie bag for Sabato de Sarno’s debut collection?
But, as the seasons shift, so too do color trends. So, it’s time to shelf the cherry red. There’s a new It girl color of the season. The olive green trend was a sensation in the Fall/Winter 2024 runways. From French luxury houses to up-and-coming New York-based brands, designers have embraced the stunning earthy tone with fervor, weaving it into their collections with creativity and finesse.
Some shows like Chloé and Hermès incorporated only a handful of olive greens. Still, on the runways of Bottega Veneta, Ferragamo, Gucci, Fendi, Saint Laurent, and Burberry, designers ensured the neutral hue captivated audiences and the show. Whether top-to-bottom or subtle accents, the message was clear: the olive green trend was the undeniable star of the season and will enter your closets soon.
If you are still in love with red don't worry it will still be there, but we hate (love) to break it to you: olive green is the color du jour. So, if you can’t wait to get a jumpstart on the new trend, L’OFFICIEL has you covered on the most chic olive green pieces to elevate your wardrobe this season. Whether you’re searching for olive green coats, sleek accessories, or versatile separates, we’ve curated the perfect selection of olive green goods for your wardrobe.
