And suddenly, it is not winter anymore. Spring is here, loud and clear. And it has brought with it the newest trend on the block for 2017, the Khaki. If you are a fan of the chic utility look, this is your year as khaki has dominated the runways as well as the streets. A more polished and refined version of the military trend of 2014, the trend is all about the colours camel, olive, brown and taupe and the runways got obsessed with them. Every major designer from Christian Dior to Stella McCartney has experimented with it to turn it into a piece of art from the boring, staple vibe that it had going on for so long.
J. W. Anderson debuted Khaki dresses on the runway in every imaginable version possible. From bubble-skirts to form-fitting, strappy ones. Stella McCartney had chic separates for a relaxed, unassuming look while Sonia Rykiel introduced the world to off-shouldered, belted versions of jumpsuits that looked like a million bucks. And the outerwear for the season has been designated to be the khaki trench with various variations of it launched by Maison Margiela, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Christian Dior, and Prada.
The beauty of this spring trend is that it is uncomplicated and can be easily dressed up or down. It is easy to pair it up with neutrals like white, black and nudes for a sophisticated look. Khaki can also be paired with florals or colors to make a statement. Be it high-waisted pants or slouchy trousers, khaki can be incorporated into your wardrobe in many myriad ways. From classy dresses with nude shoes to statement cape-coat hybrids and gymwear, there is no shortage of style inspirations for this trend. The new favorite of the street stylists, adding a khaki piece to your closet would be something you would not regret.
