Despite being a fashion editor and having a genuine love for clothing of every sort, my own wardrobe has started to look a little monotonous as of late. Having gotten a bit too caught up in the quiet luxury trend, all of a sudden, my rotation feels like it’s lacking the variety that I crave come mid-season. Bored of the few pairs of jeans and black trousers I reach for every day, I’ve been keeping an eye out for a simple wardrobe addition that can help bring some energy to my styling.
Stumbling across the answer during a mid-morning scroll, actor Iris Law has tracked down and styled exactly the kind of trouser trend I’ve been waiting to find. Forgoing jeans or black trousers, the model and actor stepped out in the outfit-enhancing olive green trousers trend this week.
With a rich, earthy hue, olive green trousers offer an uncomplicated way of working some colour into your wardrobe. Low-key and unassuming, this natural shade quietly enhances a winter look, adding dimension and interest in the easiest way.
While at first glance the earthy green shade might not feel like the easiest to style, I actually find it to be an incredibly versatile shade. Pairing well with reds and whites—as demonstrated by Law—the wearable hue also styles with the earthy shades that often make up a winter capsule wardrobe, such as brown, cream, beige and grey. Quietly bubbling up as a major trend for the winter season, the olive green shade was a runway standout across the Spring/Summer 2025 shows, appearing in collections including Sacai, Stella McCartney and Elie Saab.
Set to be a major trend, I’ve already spotted so many of my favourite brands begin to stock up on the style. From H&M’s simple style to The Frankie Shope cargo-inspired pair, read on to discover our edit of the best olive green trousers below.
