It's True—This Rich Shoe Color Trend Goes With More Than Black and Brown Shoes Do

It's True—This Rich Shoe Color Trend Goes With More Than Black and Brown Shoes Do

When it comes to those staple shoe colors you should own, of course you have brown and black, maybe white, camel, and perhaps red. However, I'm here to alert you to a shoe color trend you may not own yet but should—especially if you have faith in Elsa Hosk's taste (which I do). The shoe color trend is olive green, and Hosk just wore it in the form of a pair of kitten-heel pumps by The Row, which she styled with a light-brown satin bomber jacket and chocolate-brown jeans.

Sure, the color "rules" such as it being a faux pas to wear brown shoes with a black dress, are out the window these days, but if you still worry about clashing, you can rest assured that olive-green shoes go with everything—even those odd colors that brown or black may not look the best with. Not only that, but shoes in this color look expensive and will make you look like you know what you're doing because you opted for an unexpected color as opposed to black or brown footwear. With that, keep scrolling to see Hosk's expert styling and to shop olive-green shoes for yourself.
