If your wardrobe has been feeling a little predictable lately, Mike Afolarin’s latest look might be the inspiration you didn’t know you needed. It’s one of those outfits that quietly makes a strong impression, and it shows just how good mint green and olive tones can look together when the styling is kept simple.
The actor, filmmaker, and photographer has become one of Nollywood’s most interesting style references, and this outfit is another reminder of why. Best known for his roles in Far From Home, House of Ga’a, Kasala!, and Battle on Buka Street, Mike has a way of making classic menswear feel current without trying too hard.

He wears a pastel mint green short-sleeved knit polo with high-waisted, wide-leg olive brown trousers, and the combination works beautifully. The knit polo gives the outfit structure, while the relaxed collar keeps it from feeling too formal. Tucking it neatly into the trousers creates a clean silhouette, and the slim black belt helps define the waist. He finishes the look with olive green and off-white spectator oxford shoes, narrow rectangular sunglasses, and a silver chain necklace.
One of the easiest things to take away from this look is the colour pairing. Mint green and olive brown complement each other surprisingly well because one feels fresh and light while the other adds warmth and depth. Olive brown also works beautifully with cream, beige, navy, and soft greens, while mint green pairs easily with earthy browns, charcoal, and off-white.

If you’ve been wondering how to style a knit polo with wide-leg trousers, the answer is right here. Keep the top fitted enough to tuck in comfortably, let the trousers provide the movement, and avoid piling on too many accessories. The proportions do most of the work.
This is the kind of outfit that can take you from a brunch date to an art exhibition, a creative meeting, a casual evening event, or dinner with friends. It feels relaxed, put-together, and easy to wear, which is probably why Mike Afolarin keeps making us want to rethink the colours sitting in our wardrobes.
