How to Wear Khaki Jeans : Effortless Style with Olive Denims

I'm a huge fan of smart casual looks, perfect for running everyday errands while still looking put together. Mastering the art of smart casual has become synonymous with timeless style, and I think the secret is elevated basics. Take this look I've been wearing recently, essentially it's a black sweater and jeans, but the chunky knit and combat style olive jeans add a whole new level of interest.

Now a disclaimer regarding 'khaki', in the UK we use the word khaki to describe the sage green style colour of the jeans I'm wearing, I know in other parts of the world khaki is used to describe a more brown toned hue, I think you may call what I'm wearing olive green? But whatever description you give this colour, it's a beautiful shade to add into the wardrobe, working perfectly with neutrals to add interest without being garish.

So at the heart of this effortlessly chic outfit are the khaki combat jeans, a refreshing alternative to traditional blue denim. These utilitarian-inspired pants offer a contemporary twist but are super easy to style, with sweaters in winter or a crisp white T-shirt in spring. The relaxed fit is super flattering, skimming over the hips and thighs and a slight taper into the ankle grazing length.

Paired here with a black jumper, the chunky knit not only adds a cosy touch but also elevates the overall aesthetic with texture. I'm always looking to add texture to an outfit to add interest without needing to add patterns or extra colours.

Outfit Details

Completing the look are sleek black leather ankle boots, their timeless design pairs with contemporary fashion trends while ensuring all-day comfort. And a black leather tote bag serves as the perfect finishing touch, adding practicality without compromising style. Its clean lines and minimalist design tie the entire outfit together, offering a polished and put-together outfit.
