Even though the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is going strong, summer is still in FULL EFFECT! So, today I’m sharing four summer outfits with olive shorts. Hopefully this will help you get dressed easily and let you get on with your summer activities, whether saving the outfit idea for the weekend or whether you’re at home today shopping all the sales! 😆
On that note, if you want to check out some Amazon Prime Day Deals that aren’t totally overwhelming, head to yesterday’s blog post HERE. Also, if you want to catch up on Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts, see all of them HERE.
I’ve told you plenty of times this summer that olive shorts are one of my summer wardrobe staples. They go with a lot of colors, and they help change up your looks by deviating from standard tee and denim shorts. These are some of the outfits with olive shorts in the Summer Outfit Guide, with several more in the guide.
Onto the outfits!
SIZING: I’m 5’6″ and usually S/M or 6 in clothes.
Black Tee or Tank + Leopard Print
This has one of my go-to combos with olive for a long, long time. I do it in the summer and in the fall with olive pants. Sometimes I flip flop the order and wear black pants with an olive top. Then, I always add a pop of animal print somewhere. This combo never fails!
This is the black version of those soft, stretching, (nursing-friendly) ModCloth tanks I talk about often. See other ways I’ve worn it HERE.

Striped Tee + Tan Accessories
Next is olive, tan, and stripes! Another go-to combo that works in both summer and fall. It’s easy to default to a striped tee and denim shorts, which of course is a combo I love, but the swap for olive shorts changes things up with ease. It’s such an easy outfit but looks like you tried! 🙂

Colorful Printed Top + Neutral Accessories
Like I said, olive goes with quite a few colors. Some of my favorites to pair with olive are yellow, pinks / peachy / coral colors, teal and aqua, and purple. Here I did yellow, of course. Because, what is a PMT post if yellow doesn’t show up at least once? 😜
