Now, these light colored pants might seem simple to wear, but they aren’t always that easy! They can sometimes give off a vibe you’re not into, and they don’t match with everything out there. I mean, of course you should wear your khakis however you want, but some guidance doesn’t hurt. There are lots of outfit ideas out there, whether you don’t mind the preppy look and maybe even love it, or you want something a little bit more unique and relaxed. Here are some style tips on how to wear khaki pants, because honestly? It’s nice to take a break from jeans and leggings sometimes.
1. Go for a classic – khaki pants with a chambray top. Cropped khakis make this look a little more laid back.
2. If you’re still layering up for chilly weather, try pairing a plaid shirt under a sweater. Doing so keeps the plaid and khaki combo from looking too preppy, and adding a hat, cuffed bottoms, and ankle boots makes everything a little more boho.
3. Khakis are obviously great for professional outfits, like if you work in an office. Pair khaki trousers with a white tank, a fitted blazer, and pumps for a classic look that works.
4. You can also pair that same look with flats for something a little bit less dressed up.
5. To go for a more unique look, pair your khaki pants with something unexpected, like a leather jacket.
6. Khakis can look very drab. Add a colorful piece, like this turquoise cardigan, to brighten things up.
7. Cuffed up, loose khaki linen pants with a loose button down and flat sandals makes for the perfect boho outfit for hot days where you still want to look put together.
8. Make khaki trousers look more relaxed with a belt and a white tee tucked in.
