Although it's still very much summer, we can't help but get excited for autumn styling, and if you're looking to get ahead for the transitional season, look no further than Mint Velvet's elegant new-in collection. The British clothing brand has launched several pieces this week, with a focus on one of the key colour trends for autumn 2026 - olive green.

From silky dresses that work for late summer just as well as they will for the cooler months, to fabulous statement blouses that will tuck seamlessly into jeans, this new-in drop is so well-curated for this time of year. Leading the collection is olive green, a shade that we expect to see much more of as we enter the cooler season.

Whilst brighter shades tend to dominate summer, olive is an understated, luxurious alternative that pairs so well with neutrals such as cream, beige and even denim. This is the kind of colour that makes getting dressed later in the year feel effortless. Mint Velvet pieces tend to sell out fast, so our advice is to shop anything you love before it's gone.

Whilst olive green is having a moment, the appeal of the shade lies in how versatile and enduring it is. Sitting between a neutral and a statement colour, it can add depth to everyday outfits without feeling too hard to style.

When looking to freshen up your wardrobe during late summer, it's worth seeking staples that can adapt as the weather changes, and Mint Velvet's new-in collection has pieces that do exactly this. From breezy blouses that you can wear solo right now to lightweight knits that will carry you into the cooler season.
