With the arrival of autumn, it’s no surprise that green is making its way back onto the scene. This fall, prepare to see earthy shades of olive, moss and khaki just about everywhere. As the landscape changes from lush summer greenery to the browns and yellows of autumn, earthy greens create a visual transition that feels appropriate for the season.
Fall 2024 runway collections are seeing a resurgence of military-inspired and utilitarian fashion. Shades such as khaki green naturally fit the aesthetic as well as moss and olive hues which give off a timeless, rugged appeal that speaks to utility and elegance. These shades also blend seamlessly with other fall colours while offering a refreshing alternative to warmer hues like orange and burgundy.
Looking for ways you can wear earthy greens this fall? Below are nine outfit ideas which show you how. From deep dark moss shades to silky smooth olive tones, you’re sure to find a dash of inspiration this season.
1. The Coat
If you’re looking for an understated way to incorporate green into your wardrobe, opt for a wool coat like this. Dark and subtle, it’s not an in-your-face kind of green but still evokes that sense of earthiness. The shade pairs beautifully with cool grey and fresh white.

Smart and sophisticated, this shirt takes you from desk to dinner with ease. Layering with black allows the colour to shine, showcasing its rich olive tones. Finish the look with a brown suede bag to parallel the shirt’s earthy tone and rich texture.
3. The Jacket
An easy and casual way to wear green is with a short jacket. It pairs effortlessly with jeans and instantly adds a rich earthy feel to any look. The matching boots and bag create a cohesive feel that ties the whole look together.
4. The Blazer
Throw on this dark olive blazer to instantly elevate any ensemble. Its rich hue combined with a sharp silhouette feels sophisticated yet casually cool. The dark espresso loafers and bag add a touch of preppy appeal while also matching with the overall dark, earthy feel.
5. The Trench Coat
This khaki trench coat makes for a stylish alternative to the classic beige, creating a military-inspired, utilitarian feel. Dark wash denim complements the coat and maintains a casual vibe, while the sharp shirt adds a touch of sophistication.
6. The Jumper
Why not fully embrace green with a monochromatic look? Start with a cashmere jumper in a warm olive tone and pair it with cool-toned khaki trousers. Complete the look with a lighter, more subtle coat to create a soft transition of various green shades.

Layering shades of green to create a monochromatic look instantly elevates each piece; it makes an outfit feel intentional, put-together and overall, appear more expensive. Add a leather coat and suede boots to create dimension and textural intrigue.
