Avoid

What not to wear with olive hoodie

Skip the burgundy loafers. Loafers are dressier than a hoodie, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: olive is a neutral, so it lets burgundy be the accent without clashing.
Skip the brown chinos. Chinos are dressier than a hoodie, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: olive and brown are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
