Khaki is back in a BIG way. Put aside those visions of your parents in the 80’s because this khaki comeback is not what you’d expect. It’s better!
If you’ve been waiting to rock these vintage vibes or are just ready for a break from denim this summer, here are 5 ways to get in on this trend with just a few new pieces and your current closet faves.
1. The Classic Look
The simplest way to go khaki is to go classic. Pair a new pair of khaki shorts or loose-fit crop pants with a chambray shirt and roll the sleeves for a casual, cool summertime look.
J.Crew Factory | Chambray Button-Up Shirt | $34.00
Banana Republic Factory Store | Khaki Flat-Front Shorts | $49.99
2. The Unexpected Look
Khaki is neutral…so be bold and add some flare. Bold prints, bright colors, lace-up flats or leather accents are perfectly unexpected ways to dress up your new khaki staples.
3. The Trendy Look
If you’re going for head-turning style, opt for high-waisted, fitted khaki pants or this fun and flirty, flared skirt.
H&M | Flared Skirt | $49.99
Gap Factory | Off-the-Shoulder Blouse | $18.97
Pair either option with a great off-the-shoulder blouse and some statement jewelry for an extra wow factor.
4. The Office Look
It’s no secret that khakis were work wardrobes’ BFF back in the day. Why not rekindle the khaki officewear love affair? These pointelle sweaters, classic cardigans or (my personal all-time favorite) the khaki trench are perfect “all business” ways to keep khaki current at the office.
Banana Republic Factory Store | Placed Pointelle Sweater | $20.99
Banana Republic Factory Store | Luxe Crew-Neck Cardigan | $20.99
Banana Republic Factory Store | Khaki Trench Coat | $129.99
5. The Preppy Look
If you’re wanting to channel your inner preppy vibes, you can’t go wrong with a classic button up, oxford shoes and a great pair of relaxed khakis.
H&M | Linen-Blend Button-Up | $19.99
Banana Republic Factory Store | Khaki Chino Pant | $35.99
