The combination of khaki in clothes

If you are not a fan of acid shades and bright colors, then khaki is perfect for you. This shade is considered by many to be a variety of green, but in fact, khaki includes a color palette from gray to brown. This is a discreet color created by nature itself. Perhaps it was because of the close resemblance to foliage and soil that this shade was initially used exclusively for military purposes.

Now khaki has conquered the entire fashion industry. And this is not at all surprising, because the variety of its shades is easy to combine with clothes of different colors. Khaki is most harmoniously combined with natural shades. But this does not mean that it cannot be worn with bright elements of the wardrobe: orange tops, coral beads, fuchsia, poppy field clothes, as well as all shades of blue combined with khaki will create a fresh look.

Due to the fact that the khaki palette includes different variations of shades, this color can be called universal. It suits almost everyone, with rare exceptions - for owners of too pale skin, extraordinary shades of khaki can give an unhealthy look.

All khaki tones are ideal for redheads. Moreover, the more intense the color of the clothes, the brighter the hair will look.As for the green-eyed, the shades of khaki will favorably emphasize the color of the eyes.

Dark-haired owners of brown eyes are perfect for more “natural” notes: swamp, ashy and sandy shades.

Fair-skinned blondes will look good with khaki undertones that lean towards beige and faded green.

Plain-cut khaki clothing gives the body a military bearing, while shoes with earthy undertones will visually reduce the size of the foot and correct problems with the feet. The combination of "protective" color with black noticeably slims and looks stylish.

The success of the combination with other colors mainly depends on the location of the khaki color. The best option is a dark bottom, that is, it will be much easier to create a winning look if there is a skirt or trousers in khaki.

For example, khaki shorts with blouses in tropical bright colors are young and refreshing - this outfit will be perfect for a summer vacation. Shades of blue give lightness to the image, and purple, on the contrary, makes it heavier, but richer in terms of color saturation. Brown tones will make the set more discreet and thus suitable for everyday wear. The red + khaki combination looks very bold and unusual. In this outfit, you can go even to the office, even to a party. A white top paired with loose fit "protective" shorts or a straight skirt will give a touch of understated elegance.

One of the main styles, which is completely dominated by khaki, is the military style - this is clothing that imitates a military uniform. Jackets and raincoats of a strict cut, with large details, fake shoulder straps, raised metal buttons and studs are ideal for both men and women.In this style, khaki clothes will be ideally combined with trousers, skirts and shirts in classic black and white colors. But it is better to refuse green and brown, so as not to make the image too “army”.

Surely it is difficult to imagine the "safari" style without khaki, which is its basis. A free-cut shirt dress, forwarder shorts, light overalls - all these are elements of an African safari. The colors applicable to this style range from all shades of sand to withered foliage. These shades will go great with dark brown, milky white, as well as pale denim. Often khakis are worn in combination with floral and animal prints.

So popular since the 70s of last year, country style has not lost its relevance to this day. In this style, the khaki color combination mainly occurs with light-colored cotton shirts, as well as with denim overalls and oversized jackets. As for shoes, mixing olive khaki with country-style brown leather sandals or rough boots is ideal. Rough leather belts or cowboy hats will fit perfectly into the image.

For women, unlike men, casual style is strictly divided into two areas: “business casual” and “street casual”. Khaki color prevails more in street style than in business. Pants and skirts, shirts and jackets of all styles, the most daring shades of khaki, deliberately torn and stretched, oversized, with prints and inscriptions. In this style, you can include all shades of "asphalt" khaki, emerald, lime and even apricot shades of the palette.The most popular casual style items were a marsh-colored bomber jacket and an olive-colored shirt with chest pockets.

Men's clothing in khaki is more diverse than women's clothing in the same shades. This happens due to the fact that a large segment of the men's wardrobe is occupied by sportswear, to which women are not so supportive. The choice of colors is incredibly wide, but the camouflage print remains the favorite of the male half - a mixture of several khaki tones.

One of the most winning variations is a linen khaki two-piece suit in combination with a black shirt and black leather accessories. Also among men, dusty shorts and trousers are popular, which are very comfortable to wear in the summer with light cotton shirts in a light blue hue. Citrus-colored pullovers go well with sand-colored trousers.

Men are big fans of khaki also because dirt is not visible on such clothes. This color is combined with most wardrobe items and is suitable for all occasions, whether it is a camping trip or everyday work in the office.

Children's collections also did not deprive the attention of the "natural" colors, although clothing manufacturers for teenagers decided that khaki is a color more suitable for a boy. Camouflage trousers with suspenders became the most popular trend. Marsh-colored jackets with a large collar are no less popular. And for the little ones, two-piece sets consisting of a jacket with a hood and trousers will be an excellent suit for walking.

When choosing accessories for khaki clothes, do not be afraid to experiment.Most khaki shades are restrained and pale, so you can safely choose bright accessories. It can be a variety of leopard print scarves, neon clutches, large earrings and rings with large stones, coarse leather belts and even brooches.
