Man Blazer Sport Coats
Finding the right top to wear with khaki pants can be difficult. It’s not exactly dressy, and it’s not exactly casual. Even colors that seem to match may not match depending on the material and style of the clothing.
Khaki has long been a popular fabric used for military uniforms. It's made with cotton, wool or a combination of both with blends of synthetic fibers. With its entrance into the fashion scene, both men and women have worn them a variety of trendy ways. Here are a few tips on how to get it right when it comes to color co-ordinating.
Colors to Match with Different Shades of Khaki
- Dark khaki: A muddy color close to brown and drab olive. It goes well with earthy colors.
- Regular khaki: The standard shade with a mix of tan and light brown. It goes well with vibrant colors such as red, green, yellow, blue and purple.
- Light khaki: A beige color carrying cream and yellow shades. It goes well with dark shades such as black, navy blue and jean fabrics (light or dark).
What to Wear with Khaki Pants: Outfit Examples for Women
- Business Casual: White blazer, navy blue dress shirt (tucked in), floral print short silk scarf, navy blue pumps, pleated regular khakis. Add a slim red or gold belt for an accent. For a more relaxed look, un-tuck the dress shirt and cinch the upper waist with the thin belt.
- Casual: Jean jacket, white t-shirt, light khakis, brown or tan slippers/sandals. Add a paperboy hat for an accent.
What to Wear with Khaki Pants: Outfit Examples for Men
- Business Casual: Matching khaki blazer and pants, light blue dress shirt, slim dark blue-and-yellow striped necktie, dark brown oxfords. Avoid khaki suits that are too loose or too long. Pants should rest on top of the shoelace and upper heel of the shoes without excess bunching.
- Casual: Sport coat and plain or graphic t-shirt with white buck shoes, sandals, Chuck Taylors, Jack Purcell’s, vans or men’s boots. Without the coat, polo shirts that match well with regular khaki pants include light pink, orange, red, mint green and baby blue. Sweater vests also work well with khaki pants.
When choosing what to wear with khaki pants, one can never go wrong with the classic white shirt for both men and women. Khaki pants paired with a white top looks great every time and gives the outfit a clean and crisp aura. Black also gives a nice touch, especially with lighter shades of khaki.
