![]() (Of course, the selected scarf points to the beige option as well.) So perhaps a light-and-cool beige instead or in addition to the white would be easier to work with when also using olive I would experiment with that.Īlso, Rachel in Oz completely nailed it with her observation that a lighter color for the shoe would be better than the olive. An odd thing: when I put together olive and a cream/light-and-cool beige, then add the cardigan, somehow that feels more right than it does with the white. However, I could also see my eye adjusting to the combination over time. Even with the perfect olive, the combination seems dependent on good print bridge pieces to seem totally right to me. But unless you have an incredibly tight curation of very specific olive shades in your wardrobe, it could easily start looking off…especially as you get to the yellower end of the olive range. I think these pants work pretty well with the cardigan, especially with a perfect scarf to tie them together. And because I am clearly happy with a mix of prints and patterns in my outfits. In that instance, a scarf with a bit of white in it might be ideal, but the featured one would still work just fine…especially since I would wear a pair of black/white geometric patterned knit flats (the Skechers Cleo Sherlock, currently $38 at Zappos using Janice’s link) instead of solid black loafers to repeat the black and white. ![]() In Janice’s outfit, even opening up the cardigan and wearing it over a white top with a black polka dot, stripe, etc. I am thinking how great it would be with a black/white skirt or dress, for example. But if you like high contrast black/white prints, this cardigan would look marvelous with that, and that would lighten/brighten things up. The trade-off is that a darker outfit might feel less “springy” to some people. Although I think the lighter color works well with black pants and Janice’s meticulously selected accessories (!), making the cardigan the lightest teal in the outfit rather than the darkest might make it easier to create cohesion as you work your way along the green-teal, darker teal, darkest teal (i.e., black) spectrum. That would be how I’d approach the cardigan with black. But if one doesn’t want to commit to a pricey bag in this color range yet, using Janice’s Amazon link you can find faux-leather bags with thousands of ratings and an average of 4.5 stars for under $30 to test it out.Īnother option is to wear the cardigan with some darker teals. Nordstrom’s BP leopard flat is a good one, when it’s in stock.) The “more mint than green-teal” bag looks very good here. It takes some looking but they are out there. ![]() For shoes, there are a lot of choices, but I find myself drawn to a light and cool leopard or cheetah print flat to tie back subtly to the black in the scarf. That scarf is perfection for this combination. It looks amazing with the beige! I agree with Sandy that it will look best with light and cool beige/stone rather than warmer beige/camel/tan neutrals.
