Get Your Safari On With The New Designer Khaki Trend

COLLAGE- KHAKI TREND

For anyone who is shying away from Summer 2015’s bold, eye-catching trend of pastel hues and vibrant orange shades, the neutral look of khaki is also set to make a statement this season. On the airstrip at Ralph Lauren, a flared knee-length khaki skirt brought feminine charm to this menswear inspired, understated hue. Meanwhile, Michael Kors added an update to the trend with a sleeveless suede blouse and matching skirt in a light brown khaki shade. At Marc Jacobs, a fleeting belted frock made an army inspired touch on the footbridge with its brown khaki colour. We’re loving the new textures ( hello silk) and brown leather garnishing paired with the look.

If you’re wondering how to bring this trend from the airstrip and into real life, here’s how to embrace the subtle yet polished look of khaki for Summer 2015.

Day Time

For sweltering summer afternoons, try swapping your classic denim cut-offs for the clean, sleek aesthetic of safari inspired shorts. Style your loose khaki shorts with a white bohemian blouse, a pair of lace-up gladiator sandals and a floppy fedora. As a cool neutral alternative to leggings or fitted denim, khaki shorts also ensure comfort as the temperatures soar.

Work

For a airstrip worthy vibe, pair an A-line khaki skirt with a silk blouse, contrasting pumps and a silver collar necklace to make a lasting impression at your next big meeting. Wear the new Khaki dress or shirt dress belted with a leather belt and paired with block heel sandals.

Evening

Although you know that light brown, taupe and olive shades of khaki will always be perfect weekend attire, you can easily transform these versatile shades into an evening fashion statement. Contrast high-waisted khaki shorts or a summery romper with embellished garnishing, black espadrille wedges and a waist-cinching skinny belt to turn your safari style into a glamorous ensemble.
