Coming in close after black and white on the list of staple colours is arguably the\u00a0broad family of Khaki.<\/p>

Its omnipresence on the runways this year<\/a> and the years before proves just how\u00a0cool\u00a0and effortlessly versatile the colour is. You can wear it in the Spring and the Fall without straying from the seasonal colours; you can wear it in chino pants or\u00a0casual loose-fitted shirts\u00a0and\u00a0still get away looking\u00a0well put-together.<\/p>

The word 'khaki' itself translates to 'soil-coloured' and spans across the colour spectrum of sandy tones and camouflage<\/a>. Back in the\u00a01800s, khaki was exclusively worn by the\u00a0British Indian Army. Fast-forward 200 years later, Khaki is ensconced to the wardrobes of fashionistas <\/a>worldwide.<\/p>

We bet you relate as one, so head over to our gallery for some Khaki finds to add to your collection!<\/p>
