Fall is always a good time to break out all the cool tones you can't explore in warmer seasons.
Tones such as olive green, camel-skin, and cream colours, are usually considered as khaki.
A  lot of women shy away from this colour and texture because they are usually reserved for military wear.
However, designers have increased the functionality of such tones by expanding into military-inspired garments (utilitarian pieces).
khakis are a fresh take to your wardrobe, especially for the holiday season. They flatter any silhouette and body shape, as warm hues in this range will show off your figure more, while cooler tones, will conceal.

Here's How You Wear Khakis Now :

Khaki Pants

For pants, instead of donning on the regular jeans or slacks, channel your inner style into something more relaxing and elegant like khaki pants. The rich colour and texture will lend the perfect structure to your ensembles.

Khaki Skirt

This is the perfect piece to wear if you are going for a utilitarian-inspired look.
The neutral tone is a clean canvas for accessorizing and also great for workwear.
Whether you wear your khaki skirt in a mini, midi or maxi length, you'll achieve a sophisticated and polished look.

Khaki Coveralls

This is an easy way to introduce khaki into your daily style and it'll get you out the door in no time.
Coveralls are already easy to style, but khaki coveralls will give an interesting accent to your look.
Pair with strappy heels for a glam look, or sneakers for a cool and casual vibe.

Khaki Jackets

Khaki jackets give an ever-so-boss-lady look and feel.
Make layering your forte by draping your khaki jacket over a fitted top, with a pair of your favourite denim or slacks.
The tone of this jacket will instantly elevate your ensemble and add depth to your look.

Silk has been known to be a super lush and luxurious fabric, now considered a classic.  Because of this, it has been worn the same way over time (either a cami or a dress). It's alright, we are all guilty of this!
However our edit today, should offer you more practical, elegant and updated ways to really explore silk this season. Take a look!



Silk Caftan.

This airy and loose fit garment is a premium and comfortable way to wear silk. The breezy fit is perfect for any body shape and would get you out the door in no time.
If you have a slimmer frame, a caftan with ruffles or prints will give you some volume, without making you look bulky.





Silk Top.

If you're looking for ways to expand your top/ blouse options, a silk top will do that. The variations include button-down tops, cross straps, round neck, v-neck, etc.
It is also perfect and transitional enough for workwear and informal settings.



Silk Skirts.

Invest in a trim, midi or maxi silk skirt this season. Whether with pleats, ruffles, ruching, prints or plain detail, this must-have will instantly add a polished accent to your ensemble.
Go for details and colors that flatter your frame the most, as these would become your go-to piece for a long while!





Silk Set.

This is made up of a top and a pair of pants. Totally breezy and chic, this set is the perfect combo to get you out the door, looking regal.
Go for a print set or one with a monochrome color that suits you best.




Stylist's Tip:
To get more from your silk set, pair each piece separately with a different top (for the pants) or bottoms (for the top), to get more outfit options.





Silk Headband/ Turban
Everyone seems to be nuts about velvet turbans, but have you tried a silk turban just yet?! You should! A silk turban will give you a sleeker feel and look, that seamlessly fits on the head and around the ears. It's a softer and ultra-feminine option when it comes to accessories.





Hope you have enjoyed this update. See you next week, for another interesting way to curate your personal style. Stay beautiful!
