10 Khaki Fashions That Will Replace Black in Your Closet
Black is a color for all seasons — and we’re not mad about it. But since spring is sprung, it’s time to lighten up a little bit. While the term “khaki” might conjure up images of Jake from State Farm, this warm-weather neutral actually goes way beyond pleat-front dad pants.
Yes, khaki pairs with everything, and designers are finally treating it as a fashion color rather than a boring basic, which means it’s time to get shopping. Below, 10 pieces that you should try subbing in this season.
1.The Moon River Fringe Cotton Cold Shoulder Top ($70) takes khaki to a whole new, flirty place. Perfect for date night or girls’ night or any of the nights.
2. Brunch and weekend errands anyone? Just add a denim jacket and sneakers to this Madewell Khaki Ruffle Hem Miniskirt ($48), and you’ve got yourself a go-to look.
3. Because sunglasses are so much more fun in unexpected colors. Exhibit A: these Sonix Coco Cat Eye Sunglasses ($98).
4. This Sea Exploded Eyelet Swing Dress ($435) is pretty much the ideal vacation dress. Wear it with flats and a tote for day, then switch into ankle-strap heels and drop earrings for dinner!
5. Do your feet need a strand of pearls? Absolutely. Thank you, Nine West Lipstick Open Toe Dress Pumps ($89).
