What is less well known is that, like many other garments, khaki tops and pants also have their origins in military uniforms. Since khaki is similar to the color of the ground, khaki uniforms facilitate camouflage in combat. In the recent thirty years or so, khaki pants are no longer exclusive to the military but have become widely welcomed. Indeed, a pair of solid khaki pants is not eye-catching enough. But perhaps it is precisely because of its ordinariness that it is so popular. Since it could not be regarded as unique, it goes well with other garments of nearly all colors, all styles and all fabrics.

From the perspective of colors, although there may be exceptions, the less saturated the color, the more versatile it tends to be. So except black and white, khaki is also a color that is quite versatile. And it is also suitable for most people. Many people dare not try clothes in bright colors such as red, yellow, pink and orange, because these bright colors will make people's skin look dull. However, you will never have the similar worries when wearing a pair of khaki pants. Since khaki belongs to dark colors, it will make people look more energetic. Khaki itself is also a very classic color that can be worn all year round and will never go out of style. Moreover, the dark tone of khaki also makes the wearers look more reliable.

In the second place, as a dark color, khaki has another advantage. That is, khaki pants are not easy to get dirty, so they can be cleaned less often. To a large extent, this is a piece of good news for busy office ladies, and reducing the frequency of cleaning can also reduce the probability of pants being worn out.

In addition, a pair of khaki pants is also compatible for plenty of different occasions. For daily wear, a pair of khaki pants will never be abrupt. While on relatively formal occasions, a pair of solid khaki pants can even replace suit trousers. After all, in addition to black and white, khaki is also a classic color that is often used in business outfits. For commuting, a pair of khaki pants is also very convenient and perfect.

It is known to all that different figure shapes are compatible with different clothing styles. Khaki pants are so popular that the concept should include many styles of pants to meet people's different demands. What fabric of khaki pants should I wear in different seasons?

A pair of cotton khaki pants is absolutely a good choice for spring and autumn since cotton is both soft and breathable.In addition, cotton cloth is highly absorbent and is cheap and easily available. In summer, you can even wear a pair of khaki shorts made of cotton. Linen fabric is also very breathable, which can keep you cool in hot weather. So a pair of wide leg khaki pants made of linen is especially suitable for summer. In cold winter, you can choose a pair of knit khaki pants or a pair of woolen ones to keep warm.

For warm or even hot weather, a pair of wide leg khaki pants is more suitable to dissipate heat. While on colder days, a pair of more fitted khaki pants has better warmth keeping performance. But for ladies who would like to show off their slim legs, they can also wear a pair of fitted khaki pants in summer as long as they can find pants made of more breathable fabrics.

A pair of high-waisted khaki pants is particularly suitable for petite ladies since the raised waistline can visually lengthen the legs of the ladies. But for ladies who would like to show their beautiful waistlines, a pair of low-waisted khaki pants is perhaps more appropriate.

Another factor that is easily overlooked is the pockets. Since khaki pants originated from the military, many of them are more unisex in style, similar to cargo pants with several large pockets on the side of the pants. There are also some khaki pants that have two pockets at the waist or hips like jeans. There are even some khaki pants without pockets. Generally speaking, khaki pants that are with pockets can provide people with more convenience. But if you do not like this kind of unisex style, you can also choose a pair of khaki pants with fewer or even no pockets. But you need to choose a bag else.

A pair of khaki pants is even more tolerant for the shoes paired with it. Whether it is high heels or leather shoes suitable for business occasions or loafers in casual style, as long as you do not go out in a pair of slippers, they will look good with khaki pants.

All kinds of hats can also go well with a pair of khaki pants. A peaked cap is suitable for the sporty outfit of a pair of khaki pants, while a bucket hat is compatible with the casual outfit. If you combine the khaki pants with a top or outerwear with obvious feminine marks such as ruffles or laces, then you can also choose to wear a beret.

If you are a fan of the cool style, do not forget a pair of sunglasses! A pair of sunglasses is really a trump card to create a cool and hot outfit with a pair of khaki pants. To create the cyberpunk style, you need to wear other accessories especially some more exaggerated ones such as a pair of long earrings.
