discoLooking to step up from 23 Brands like Olive? These 7 brands share the aesthetic but bring elevated materials, construction and a higher price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
Swedish minimalist label founded in Stockholm in 1993, making pared-back womenswear and menswear staples alongside a resale platform.
Why it's similar. Filippa K has made pared-back Stockholm staples since 1993 and runs its own resale platform, a longer-established version of the small-batch minimalism Olive Clothing sells.
Copenhagen label blending streetwear, workwear and Scandinavian minimalism, known for clean silhouettes and technical GORE-TEX outerwear.
Why it's similar. Norse Projects began as a Copenhagen shop in 2004 before launching menswear in 2009, mixing the same clean silhouettes with GORE-TEX outerwear Olive's range never reaches.
Australian label founded in 2006 in Sydney, known for organic cotton jersey basics, denim and relaxed tailoring in a pared-back neutral palette.
Why it's similar. Deborah Sams and Mary Lou Ryan founded bassike in 2006 on organic cotton jersey, and its washed neutrals and relaxed tailoring sit a tier above Olive.
Munich menswear label founded in 2009, known for relaxed tailoring, overshirts and fine knitwear built around travel-inspired seasonal collections.
Why it's similar. Yasar Ceviker and Susi Streich build each Munich collection around a travel story, with European-made overshirts and fine knitwear pricier and more menswear-specific than Olive's range.
Copenhagen womenswear label from Korean designers Min Kim and Sey Hong, blending Korean pattern-making with Scandinavian minimalism in technical fabrics.
Why it's similar. Korean designers Min Kim and Sey Hong founded Birrot in Copenhagen in 2018, pairing Korean pattern-cutting with muted Scandinavian tailoring cut in technical cloth.
Tokyo avant-garde menswear label founded in 2001 by Takahiro Miyazaki, known for dark, garment-dyed layering and asymmetric tailoring.
Why it's similar. Takahiro Miyazaki's Tokyo label shares only the muted palette: The Viridi-Anne garment-dyes black and charcoal layering into asymmetric avant-garde menswear far removed from Olive's simple staples.
London menswear label from tailor Oliver Spencer, making relaxed suiting, workwear jackets and knitwear from British and Italian fabrics.
Why it's similar. London tailor Oliver Spencer cuts unstructured suiting and workwear jackets from British and Italian mill cloth, a dressier answer to Olive's relaxed Cheltenham minimalism.
