Get Dressed with Merrick: Olive Green Jacket

An olive green jacket (commonly called a utility jacket or an anorak jacket) is a wardrobe staple for me. This style of jacket is so versatile, it’s a great neutral, and it adds some fun to any outfit.

Do you have an olive green jacket in your closet?

I think every woman should have an olive green jacket in her closet. They’re a great layer for spring, summer, and fall, and are so versatile.

Here are some ways to wear this style of jacket

1. Wear your utility jacket with a dress in the spring and summer

In the spring, I love pulling out a floral or eyelet dress and layering an olive jacket over the top. It adds a little bit of masculinity to a feminine outfit.

2. Try an olive jacket over a jumpsuit in the spring or fall

This would look really cute over a polka dot, floral, or striped jumpsuit!

3. An olive green jacket looks great with a t-shirt and jeans

This is a great layer to help finish a really basic outfit. With leggings or jeans and a t-shirt, it’s a perfect outerwear choice.

4. You can dress up an olive jacket with a nice blouse. Here’s how to do it.

Can you only wear olive jackets with casual pieces? No! Try dressing it up a little bit with a fancy blouse and nice shoes. Just make sure that one other part of your outfit is casual, like jeans, or sneakers.
