The Must-Have Colour of Winter 2024: Fresh Off the Fashion Week Runways

With every season come its trends and its colours; this Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 is no different! Though burgundy and brown are evergreen, one colour rises to the fore during the Winter season. Now, you must be thinking, which colour is going to take over the centre stage this time?

 

When the first leaves fall, most of us promptly get out those seasonal favourites: cosy cardigans, classic trench coats, and our favourite boots. While leather jackets, cow prints, and head-to-toe denim promised to be staple pieces, this season is about the colours that shape our wardrobes. Of course, burgundy once again proved timeless, and beige combined with navy is classy, whatever the occasion. But here is another contestant, this year the up-and-coming star of autumn fashion: olive green! That colour is poised to have a big moment, emerging as the trendiest shade of the season.

 

Autumn-Winter Fashion 2024-2025: The Trendiest Colour of the Season

Teased on the catwalks during the Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 Fashion Weeks, olive green can make comforting staples - move over chocolate brown and burgundy, for example. Characteristically emoting tones of calm and serenity, olive green surely can be a style-savvy option for those looking beyond the same old shades. While red ruled this past year and peach fuzz took centre stage as Pantone's 2024 Colour of the Year, olive green is decidedly having its moment.

 

From bold accessories to statement pieces, fashionistas are obsessing over this elegant shade. Perfect for both daytime looks and evening chic, olive green is one of those shades that look good on all skin tones and hair colours. Whether you're a blonde or brunette, it's a versatile shade bound to turn heads.

 

How to Wear Olive Green: Styling Tips for the Season

Olive green was once the dominant colour in home decor; now it finds its place in our wardrobes and is about to become one of the key players in Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 fashion. Herein, how do you pull off this trend, whether bold or minimal?

 

For the Daring Fashionista:

For those who love to make a statement, go for an olive-green ruffled gauze dress with cowboy boots for that perfect bohemian-chic look. Yet another must-have for this season is the long olive-green trench coat, sleek and posh, which works from dawn till dusk. And for the fashion-forward, no need to shy away from full-on monochrome, top-to-toe olive green, it's not only stylish but also effortlessly cool.

 

For the subtle stylist:

But if you're one of the simple and sophisticated kinds, there are ways to get on board this colour trend without plunging in headfirst. Ease into it by adding one piece at a time, like an olive-green accessory handbag, some statement earrings, or even a pair of shoes. Olive-green blouse with a relaxed cardigan, regular straight-cut jeans, loafers or ankle boots for a polished, everyday look that feels fresh and modern but not too overbearing.

 

Olive Green: From Day to Night

One of the brilliant things about olive green is how versatile it truly is-from glamming up or dressing down, olive green is perfect for whatever occasion. The simple olive-green sweater will work chic and casual with jeans and ankle boots during the day. Swap those boots for a pair of heels in the evening, add in a statement belt, and instantly, it's a look that's a bit more glam. The olive-green trench coats are the best for layering, too, since they tend to make even the simplest of outfits look great.

 

This Autumn-Winter 2024-2025, olive green is the colour everybody needs in their wardrobes. Of course, this new trend takes centre-stage with a full look. But even subtly introduced through accessories, it will add a fresh, sophisticated twist to your wardrobe. As we mix and match our seasonal staples-think cardigans, and trench coats, and boots-remember to give a warm welcome to the elegance and versatility of this rising star in the colour world.

 

From soothing yet striking, olive green will keep you in style and prepared for whatever the season may bring.
