Khaki green may have a military connotation to it, but that doesn’t mean all the silhouettes have to be masculine, does it?

There are so many new ways to try this interesting palette that you won’t run out of options to wear it this season. From feminine to flirty to straight-on military, name it and it’s there!

An army of ‘apparel’

Khaki may have its roots in the army, but it is far from uniform, considering its androgynous appeal. It goes with just about anything and everything – neutrals and bold hues as well as patterns like animal, ethnic, geometric and of course camouflage prints.

Check out our Debbie Short Dress in khaki green. Whether attending a soiree or a wedding, this dress will impress. You can pair it with a sequined belt and beige pumps to finish the look. And if you are feeling particularly adventurous that day, add some military accoutrements for the right on army feel.

Eyes that can kill

With smokey eyes going mainstream, khaki eye makeup is something you SHOULD try. Dark green and brown are shades you can play around with. Depending on the look you want to go for and the occasion, you can wear it for a high drama effect or just downplay the intensity.

Khaki eye shadow can suit any eye colour, but there’s one rule you must follow. If you have light eyes, go for khaki shades that incorporate more brown tones and all the brown eyed girls should opt for the greener khaki shades.

Khaki Accents

With the khaki trend picking up, there are a lot options available to you. You can wear a khaki scarf for the fall. If bags are your weakness, try opting for totes or envelope clutches in this shade. Bags with metallic studs are also hard not to miss.

This shade has managed to shoot right through our hearts this winter, time to let it bombard your wardrobe too!
