Yes, it's still white-pant season, but as someone who mentally moves on to fall as soon as August 1 arrives, I'm looking for what's next. And the style that gets my vote, and apparently, Michelle Monaghan's vote, who just wore them while arriving at her hotel in NYC, is olive-green pants. Alongside white pants, jeans, and black pants, olive-green ones are a wardrobe essential. They go with everything, are classic, and never look dated—but they're not boring. I have no notes.
Monaghan opted to dress down her silky olive-green pants, wearing them in a travel-appropriate way: with a gray sweatshirt and ballet flats (luxe woven tan ones, that is). But if she wanted to, she could easily wear the pants with heels and a blazer or button-down for an elegant out-to-dinner outfit.
Since I'm now inspired to add a new pair of olive-green pants to my wardrobe, I hit the internet and found tons of worth-it styles to consider. In addition to silky pairs, there are twill ones, cargoes, linen, and plenty of other olive-green options. Keep scrolling to pick your pair to swap your summery white pants for (if you're ready).
