The Amazing Versatility of Army Green Pants

12

You guys know how much we love our jeans around here – but sometimes wearing them all day, EVERY day, can get boring and monotonous. I’ve been so jean-obsessed these past few years that I haven’t considered any other type of pants and it landed me in a bit of style rut recently. My Fall wardrobe was in desperate need of a shake up. 

Enter: army green pants.

As soon as I saw them on the rack I knew they were exactly what my Fall wardrobe needed. They seriously go with just about every sweater I own. Military inspired pants like cargos, khakis and utilities always seem to cycle back into style and there has been a surge of fresh, updated styles popping up everywhere lately to choose from. Read on to see four colors to easily pair them with:

Black and Army Green


Outfit Details:

Cardigan – Barefoot Dream’s CozyChic Lite Coastal Hooded Cardigan, $114.00 at Nordstrom.  All I wanted was a super cozy cardi that would go with everything thing this Fall and Winter and this cardi is definitely it. It’s so warm and plush, it feels like wearing a blanket- which is good AND bad because all I want to do is nap.

Top – Trouve’s Twist Front Tie Dress, $69.00 at Nordstrom. I love dresses like these that look just as great worn as tops. The lightweight, stretchy jersey fabric allows me to easily hitch it up in order to wear it more like a top like I did above.

Pants  – AEO’S Denim X Olive Hi Rise Jeggings, $69.95 (BOGO 50% off) at American Eagle. After scouring high and low online for similar styles, these take first place. In fact, had I known about these before I bought mine, I definetly would have gone with these. I’ve been super impressed with AEO’s jeans as of late. Their fabric is high quality and stretchy without becoming baggy by the end of the day.

Shoes – Mix No. 6 Tevia Booties, $59.99 at DSW. I’m so obsessed with these shoes. Are they too ’90s?? I don’t care! I love ’em. I like the lightweight canvas material, so they feel like Converse and the chunky heel gives it a combat feel. Plus, they’re super comfortable. 5 stars are the average review – that’s always a plus.

Blush and Army Green

Outfit Details:

Hoodie – AllSaints Brooke Sweat, $178.00 at AllSaints. AllSaints has been one of my favorite brands for years now. Their stuff is always the highest quality and so well designed that they’ll last you for years. Their bestselling Brooke Sweat is basically the only hoodie you’ll ever need. It also comes in light heathered gray and dark heathered gray.

Cami – Cami NYC’s Racer Cami in Light Rose, $154.00 at Revolve.  I’m a cami addict.  I find a way to wear one several times a week. I just love the dressy, feminine touch they add to a pair of jeans and sneaks and the satin fabric is extra lush. CAMI NYC continues to lead the way with the best styles and the best quality camis.

Pants –  Mossimo Utility Moto Jeggings, $29.90 at Target. These Target jeans are another similar in style to the jeans I’m wearing AND they got great reviews from customers. I got super lucky when I picked mine up at Francesca’s  because they only had one pair left and it happened to be my size and that never happens to me. I checked Francesca’s website and although the Army Green option is sold out  the same Harper brand motos are available in Camo and all sizes are still stocked. Nordstrom also has a moto legging version for $39.90.

Shoes – Mix No. 6 Tevia Booties, $59.99 at DSW.

  1. This is my kind of post. Love that it shows how to make one item go a long way. And olive green is just the best, always. And this whole look is so practical, always a consideration! More posts like this, please!

  2. I totally live in west MI and have been suffering through this heat wave ( pre-k teacher in an un-air conditioned school!) and my first thought was ” wow Jess must have been hot as hell in those outfits” But they are all so cute. making me crave fall in a big way.

  3. I love army green pants but every time I wear them they start to slouch and fall down. Wearing a belt just makes me look more bulky in all the wrong places. Does anybody relate and have a solution to this?

    • I totally feel ya, I think it depends on the fabric, the ones from AE have been reviewed pretty well for having a good amount of stretch without stretching out.
