Amal Clooney has put a name to the color of the season, stepping out in olive green at a moment when most closets are still stuck between sandals and sweaters. It is a shade with real range — deep enough to read as fall, soft enough to still feel like August. Clooney's take proved the point: the same green that works with linen keeps its footing once the temperature drops and the knits come out. Consider it the one closet staple worth reaching for before the rest of the rack catches up.

With reporting from Elle.
