My newest obsession? Army green. And let me tell you, that perfect subdued shade of green with a hint of warmth is hard to find. It took my some time to find this perfect pair at Old Navy. I’ve come across my fair share of green denim – everything from bright kelly green, to a more bluish turquoise, but when I finally came across this color, I knew it was worth the wait. Unlike other shades of green, this almost sage hue goes with so many other colors in my wardrobe. As you can see below, this new neutral looks awesome with brights like coral, prints like leopard, jewel tones like burgundy, and even neon green.
While army print is becoming popular again, if you’re not quite ready to jump on that boat, army green jeans are the way to go. The earthy color can easily act as a neutral. I paired mine with a neutral top to highlight the color of the denim, but I added fun leopard print shoes and a pop of color with my purse to add a bit more interest to the look. I also love the unexpected look of bright neon green paired with this softer green hue. Since the colors have the same undertones, they look great together, and the contrast is really fun and unexpected. How do you wear this new neutral?

Wearing these same skinnies in my post today – aren’t they perfect?! I love the pairing ideas you gave here, too – definitely going to try mine with coral next :)

Old Navy has great pants–my army green pair is actually from them too (but a bit older). I love it paired with neons, but I’ve never tried leopard. Great tips!

I absolutely love this outfit. I’ve recently started using cheetah print as a neutral and its really giving all of my outfits a much needed pop!

I love this outfit and 100% agree about not being ready to embrace full on army print quite yet. I really like how army green can be a neutral. Sadly I think Old Navy pants stretch out way too much so I will have to keep searching for the perfect pair.

I wish I had held out for the perfect shade of green, i bought a pair that were a bit to bright and wish I had gotten these instead. I may need to pick them up anyway since they match everything!

Great look! Definitely doesn’t conjure up images of cargo pants like it used to, haha. I’ve been wondering how to mix up my usual denim collection of blue & black skinnies and I think this is it. :)
