What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Olive Quarter-Zip Sweater

The best jacket colours to wear with an olive quarter-zip sweater are navy, beige and black. Olive and navy are both muted, so they sit together without competing. Khaki, cream, dark brown and tan also work. Be careful with charcoal: an overcoat is dressier than a quarter-zip sweater, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: olive and charcoal are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
