Khaki : The Neutral everyone should wear
Do you like Khaki? We can all get stuck in the old stories we tell ourselves and khaki gets a bad rap. Reminding many of cargo pants, parkas and All Saints (a band in the early 2000’s!)
Well think again, Khaki has had an update and here are the reasons why you should add it into your wardrobe:
- It’s a softer and more considerate neutral than black and navy on your skin tone.
- It is a neutral and goes with every colour in your wardrobe. Think about nature and how green sits with every flower you see.
- It has a great mix of timeless and modern vibes.
5 ways you could add it into your wardrobe today:
Wear it as a dress
Anything from modern fabrics to fluid florals. Khaki will lift your working wardrobe. I love this simple yet effective Me + Em dress.
This neck line is flattering for those with a larger and smaller bust.
Flattering sleeve length and the dipped hem at the back is a unique touch.
Me + Em Zip Front Dress
Wear it as a basic
Crew Necks
Camisoles
Breton Stripes
T-shirts.
Add a khaki basic to your wardrobe.
Me and Em Crew Neck Jumper

Pencil.
Khaki in all the above is a winner.
Whistles Pleated Skirt
Wear it as a boxy Jacket
You see khaki as a bomber jacket a lot but this tailored boxy shape feels fresh and perfect for updating denim!
Wear it as a boot
More wearable that Camel, khaki is a great touch with black and blue.
Love the double tab detail on these by new brand Nubikk
