What Colour Tops to Wear with Olive Joggers

The best top colours to wear with olive joggers are navy, white and grey. Olive and navy are both muted, so they sit together without competing. Cream, beige, black and camel also work. Be careful with pink, forest green and brown: an oxford shirt is dressier than joggers, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: olive is a neutral, so it lets pink be the accent without clashing.
