Suddenly, My Black Jackets Look Basic Compared to This Fresh Fall Color Trend
Black leather isn't the only option for an edgy, on-trend look. Riverdale actress Camila Mendes was recently photographed in New York City wearing an olive-green leather jacket, immediately cementing this hue as my new favorite sophisticated neutral for fall. It's the perfect combination of trendy and timeless. Oh, and it looks amazing with her new engagement ring!
It’s the ideal antidote to the ubiquitous sea of predictable charcoal, gray, and camel that typically dominates cold-weather street style. To replicate Mendes's effortless aesthetic, opt for a piece of olive-green outerwear instead of the usual black. This hue looks elegant across various textures, from vegan leather to suede and even tailored wool. Whether you prefer a sleek moto silhouette or a modern shacket style, embracing this shade couldn't be any easier. Keep scrolling to shop olive-green jackets that will instantly elevate any fall ensemble.
