Khaki’s Roots: From Army Green to Everyday Style
Khaki wasn’t always a fashion fave! Back in the day, it was basically army green. Soldiers wore it to blend in with their surroundings. However, people started to realise how cool khaki looked and started wearing it for casual outfits. Now, it’s a classic shade that everyone loves!
Bonus fact: The word ‘khaki’ is actually persian for ‘dusty’ this earthy tone has military roots!
Versatility: Khaki goes with everything. It’s a great alternative shade to pair with your neutrals, but also works brilliantly alongside a bright pop of colour!
Timelessness: Although it really comes into it’s own in autumn, Khaki’s always in style, so you can rock it season after season.
Comfort: Khaki’s perfect for those cozy days when you just want to feel good, it’s a lot more forgiving with marks and spills compared to your sacred white tee, and it still feels put together for any unexpected visitors!
