Olive Green Is This Summer’s Stealthiest Shade—And I’m Stocking up at Mango, H&M, and Zara
The falltime favorite is trending right now.


There are specific colors that you associate with different seasons, and for me, olive green has always been a shade I wear in the fall. However, this neutral hue has surprisingly become one of the biggest trends of summer 2025. So, I’m shopping for the best olive-toned pieces at three of my favorite affordable retailers: Zara, H&M, and Mango.
You can find nearly every summer wardrobe staple in that shade, from fancy wedding guest dresses at Mango to elevated basics at H&M and Zara. There are even luxurious accessories that you can pair with your easiest summer outfits or pack away for your next vacation. In short, olive is the simplest color trend to incorporate into your closet right now, even if you’re a die-hard minimalist.
Keep scrolling to shop the best olive pieces at Zara, H&M, and Mango. Everything on this list costs less than $200, with many of my favorite chic finds going for way less. If you needed a sign to refresh your wardrobe, let this be it.
