SUMMER 2013
KHAKI
The humble military trend is back in full force. Take your pick from khaki, army green, and camoprint. Treat it as a bright or a neutral, the timeless hue is so simple to wear but oh-so sophisticated. Originating from the Great Wars, the utilitarian trend made popular by men of the past embodied power, functionality and strength. The universally alluring military green and exciting camo-print lend an unexpected edge to any trans-seasonal wardrobe. This season, khaki is a little more grown up. The key to pulling off this trend effortlessly is to swap the relaxed silhouette for a tailored take. Pack away your army knife, forget the slouchy cargo shorts and baggy parka, keep it sleek and modern. Think weekend getaway, not camping in the wilderness. Look out for structured details like collars, pockets and zips and opt for bomber jackets, blazers, chinos or slim-fit trousers. Instead of reaching for that perennial blue shirt, button up an army green one. Remember, the best way to wear it with aplomb is with originality and subtlety. And if this is all too overwhelming, just don a camo shirt and hope no one notices you‌
