I mustn't be the only one because there's a billion fashion editorials out there featuring khaki, some with better headlines than others (note to subeditors: '-luxe' is a dead horse.. move on).
I just bought these from Bardot and they were a steal at $79.. they are a dream to wear and the most beautiful shade of green khaki.

The ultimate shades of khaki are well covered by the new limited edition Chanel nail polishes named Les Khakis De Chanel, which a colleague and friend very cleverly procured ahead of their release last week at Fashions Night Out (I'm green about it, excuse the pun). (Image from chanel.com)
Khaki Vert is definitely my favourite but they have done well by providing options for most skin tones.. if I could dip my wardrobe in these I would be a very happy woman...
On shoots and in catalogues I'm seeing a lot of it paired with neutrals like sand, cream, chocolate browns but what I've been getting excited over is souped up colour (and I am reticent to say so, but 'tribal' does spring to mind) bling in gold and crisp whites bouncing off the khaki.. the perfect antidote to office casual blah.
Sort of along this vein I am pondering buying some sale-priced House of Harlow 1960 accessories at Miijo.com .

Who am I kidding. I'm totally buying it.
Oh my goodness, thankyou for posting re Les Khakis De Chanel, I haven't seen it before.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a khaki-lover. I just bought a khaki fox fur from Scanlan and Theodore (I hope this doesn't offend :)). It has so many different shades of khaki in it.
The colour I chose to paint the outside of my clinic is called "bronzed fig" which everyone thinks is a kind of dark grey, but it's really a beautiful shade of khaki.
I love your crisp whites and khaki mental picture, too. X
