Green sweater outfits worth saving

dark green and wide-leg jeans

We’re starting off strong with this dark green cardigan and wide-leg jeans. I love the little front pockets and the black top peeking through the V-neck.

Pair yours with a black shoulder bag and dark shoes to follow this simple combination.

sage green and brown plaid

How cute is this skirt combination? The sage green sweater is a pullover rather than a button-up, with a brown plaid mini and tall brown boots below.

I’d keep the matching green hair clip from this collage. It’s such a pretty little extra beside the gold-tone earrings.

olive buttons and cream jeans

If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. The olive cardigan has small pale buttons that look so pretty with the cream jeans.

Finish with chunky brown shoes like these. You don’t need lots of accessories here.

olive top and a glossy skirt

I am obsessed with this pale gold skirt. It’s so pretty with the olive pullover, especially with those long, slightly flared sleeves.

The brown shoulder bag has a woven-looking pattern. Try a similar brown bag if you want to bring another color into the outfit.

bright green and printed loafers

This bright green cardigan may just be one of my favorites here. I love the oversized pale buttons and the long white shirt showing underneath.

Black cropped pants keep the rest simple. Don’t forget the black-and-white printed loafers if you want that playful finishing touch.

olive green and silver sneakers

If you are looking for a few unexpected accessories, then this collage is for you. There’s an olive cardigan, glossy black pants and even silver-colored sneakers.

I love the green bag with the green glasses. Add the black cap if you want to follow the whole combination.

white collar and dark green

The white collar and cuffs are so cute against this dark green cardigan. The raised pattern down the front gives you a little detail without adding another color.

Try light-blue jeans and brown loafers to complete the look. Let the shirt hem show underneath too.

muted green and a heart pendant

How sweet is that little heart necklace? The gold-tone pendant sits above a muted green cardigan, with a white cropped top showing through the open front.

Light jeans and beige shoes finish this outfit. I’d keep the pale shoulder bag if you like the lighter accessories.

black cardigan and green plaid

Want another way to bring green into your outfit? This picture uses a black cardigan, so the green comes from the pleated plaid skirt instead.

The black lace-up boots look so good with it. For a green cardigan version, you could swap the black sweater for a dark forest shade.

green pullover and a denim mini

I love this green pullover with the dark denim mini skirt. The tall brown boots and large brown shoulder bag are just too cute together.

Let a little white tee show at the neckline and hem to follow the layers here.

loose gray trousers

Don’t want to wear jeans and want something a little different? Try an olive pullover with loose gray trousers and black shoes.

The white shirt hangs below the sweater in this look. I especially love the black crossbody strap with the cap and sunglasses.

white socks and tall brown boots

Here’s another view of the green pullover and denim mini outfit from above. Those white socks peeking over the brown boots are worth a closer look.

Keep just a small band of sock showing if you want to try the same detail.

pale green over an olive dress

This is such a pretty way to mix two shades of green. The long pale cardigan sits open over a glossy olive dress with a draped neckline.

I love the brown strappy heels with this combination. Leave the cardigan unbuttoned if you want the dress to show like it does here.

dark jeans and a brown belt

If you’re looking for a green button up sweater outfit with darker jeans, go with this one. The olive cardigan is fastened near the top, leaving the white top and brown belt visible underneath.

The layered necklaces are my favorite little detail.

a scarf on the shoulder bag

This is the same outfit photo as the one above, but take a look at the bag detail. A patterned scarf hangs beside the brown shoulder bag.

Try tying a scarf to your own bag if you want to add a little pattern without changing the cardigan and jeans.

white shirt and high-top sneakers

The white shirt collar is so cute with this green crewneck pullover. I love how the white cuffs and hem show too.

Pair it with light-blue jeans and white high-top sneakers. A large tan tote is a nice option if you want to follow the accessories here.

extra-wide jean cuffs

Those big turned-up cuffs are my favorite part of this outfit. The dark green sweater and brown shoulder bag look lovely with the wide-leg jeans.

Try a broad cuff on your own jeans if you like this detail. The lighter underside is what makes it so noticeable.

bright green and a flower charm

How adorable is that yellow flower on the bag? The bright green cardigan is just as pretty, worn over a white tee with pale blue jeans.

Add a flower accessory to a brown shoulder bag if you want to try the same little touch.

long shorts and frilly socks

I am obsessed with these white frilly socks and black loafers. They look so cute below the long dark shorts and loose olive cardigan.

There’s a purple flower on the black bag too. Keep that little pop of color if you want something playful.

olive coat and a red cardigan

Last but definitely not least, we have a different way to wear green. This outfit pairs an olive coat with a red cardigan rather than a green sweater.

I love the burgundy pointed shoes with the wide-leg jeans. If you want to adapt this to your green cardigan, try it under an olive coat with the same white top.
