Khakis Swing Back Into Style
Remember those delightfully upbeat GAP khaki commercials from the late 90′s? (For a quick “swing” down memory lane, click) Well, it seems like every designer has jumped on the khaki-clad bandwagon once again this spring. My personal favourite: 3.1 Phillip Lim. Whether it’s a camel-coloured t-shirt dress, a casual sheath, an oversized cargo vest, or even a fitted pair of the always controversial jodhpurs, Phillip Lim unquestionably knows how to pull off khakis. A handful of pieces in eye-popping yellow and turquoise perfectly complement his collection’s otherwise neutral pallet. Fresh, preppy, and easy to mix-and-match… I think I’m in love.
For a few cute, khaki-inspired options that are a bit easier on the cash flow, try on a pair of Aeropostale’s skinny khaki capris ($20 USD), an adorable button-up founce skirt from American Eagle ($34 USD), or a cheap & cheerful yellow-striped tank top from Old Navy ($8 USD).

I love the yellow skirt!
carohhhle, me too :) ps – let’s get our shop on, cause lady we keep talking about it!! tell me when you’re back and we will do it up!
nice skirts! Just an idea – have you ever thought about doing a post for Sabina bags? I went to Urban Outfitters today, and I’m madly in love with the “Sabina O Ring Satchel”. It doesn’t look too great on the website, but it’s super nice in person. Plus it’s made of real – super soft leather. Should I drop 300 bucks on it? What do you think!!! <3
oo! great idea – sabina stuff is gorgeous. guess it depends on which one it is, if it’s really sustainable and you see yourself using it also in professional situations I say yes. if not, then there’s probably others that you can choose which are more versatile :)
Damn it’s been that long already to bring khakis back??
oh yeah, it’s definitely primed for khaki season. good thing I didn’t throw mine out! though khakis remind me of the days when I worked at the zoo. though that was only about three years ago lol
[...] tags: celebs, Fashion, puns by Molly I don’t really want to blog about how khaki is trendy again. Fashion journalism is way boring and I’d rather be shopping. Basically, I just wanted to [...]
